The Apocalypse Percussion Micro Black Friday deal takes 50% off this Soundiron Kontakt library, so it comes to $19.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
Apocalypse Percussion Micro is the compact starter edition of Soundiron's Apocalypse Percussion Ensemble library. It is a heavy cinematic drum collection built from 28 ensemble articulations.
The articulations are spread across seven drum families. Each one was played by an ensemble rather than a single drummer.
Every articulation was performed by 3 to 6 players in unison. That stacking is where the big, massed sound comes from.
Each one carries 4 to 12 dynamic velocity layers and 2 round robin variations per note.
Soundiron tracked the ensembles in the same bright, open hall used for its Olympus Symphonic Choir, Mercury Boy's Choir, Montclarion Grand Piano, Struck Grand and Tuned Artillery libraries.
A wide array of large-diaphragm close mics captures the drums. The maker describes the result as potent and aggressively open, with a light touch of natural reverberation.
Three master instrument presets cover the library. The ensemble bank preset gives you the articulations with performance controls.
The Megamixer is an 8-socket kit builder for mixing your own custom kits.
The dual-layer tuned percussion preset plays any articulation as a pitched instrument across the whole key range. You can also layer any two articulations, each with independent controls.
The custom Kontakt interface adds attack, release, transient start offset and dynamic swelling. The multi-mode arpeggiator includes a step sequencer for building patterns.
The built-in rack holds EQ, filter, phaser, flanger, delay, distortion and amp and speaker simulation. The convolution reverb offers 119 impulses, from cathedrals, churches, bunkers and tunnels to creative effect spaces.
The library installs at 283 MB, with 386 samples in 24 bit / 48kHz lossless NCW format. It runs in the free Kontakt Player (version 5.6.8 or higher, VST, AU, AAX) on Windows 10 or higher and OSX 10.10 or higher.
The maker recommends a dual core CPU, 3+ GB of RAM and an SSD or SATA drive. You can also import the samples into any wav-compatible program.
Yes. The Apocalypse Percussion Micro Black Friday deal is 50% off, which brings this Soundiron Kontakt library to $19.50. The offer ends Dec 6, 2026. It is the Micro edition, the compact starter version of Apocalypse Percussion Ensemble.
The library has 28 ensemble drum articulations: bass drums, concert snares, large toms, Indian Dhol, Turkish Doumbek, an Irish Bodhrán, an Egyptian Riq and a Greek Daf. It also has 3 master presets, a multi-mode arpeggiator and an effects rack.
Yes. The maker says this Powered-By-Kontakt Player Edition runs in the free Kontakt Player, version 5.6.8 or higher, as VST, AU or AAX. It appears in the Libraries rack. Windows 10 or higher and OSX 10.10 or higher are required.
Each articulation was performed by an ensemble of 3 to 6 players in unison. Every sound set has 4 to 12 dynamic velocity layers and 2 round robin variations per note, so repeated hits do not trigger the same sample twice.
