Bronze Bin Black Friday pricing puts 50% off this Soundiron Kontakt library of tuned and untuned metallic percussion, which brings it to $14.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
The source is a bin made of pure bronze, an everyday object with an unusual tonal character. The maker says every edge, curve, face and angle gives off complex sounds full of harmonics, overtones and undertones.
Its sound spans gentle, chime-like notes through to a gritty, churning blur of clashing overtones. On top of the raw hits sit custom ambiences, drones, pads, effects and other special presets.
Version 3.0 adds a second source, the Chrome Can, sampled with mallet side, stick rim, mallet bottom and other articulations. It comes with new ambiences built from that material.
The two sources are sampled with these articulations:
The Bin articulations run 10 round robins each. The Can articulations run 10 to 12.
The download is 794 stereo samples, 1.25 GB installed, as 24 bit / 48 kHz uncompressed PCM wav files. Presets and samples are unlocked, so you can customise them.
The Kontakt interface has automation-ready controls for swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, coarse and fine pitch, articulation switching, cross-fading and layering. There are also 20 custom FX presets.
The LFO has selectable shape, target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-sync and fade-in time. A choice of 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters can take modulation from velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position or the step-sequencer table.
The arpeggiator has a velocity table and controls for direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. A key and scale lock keeps your notes inside common scales and keys.
The FX rack has 18 DSP modules across 10 slots, in any order. Phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ and rotator are among them.
The convolution reverb includes 99 rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor spaces, plus 40 custom FX impulses. Factory FX rack chain presets are included.
You need the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or later. The free Kontakt Player will leave the library in demo mode.
The maker calls it suited to a broad range of production, from experimental to mainstream.

No. The library needs the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or later. The free Kontakt Player and its Add Library import process don't support it, and the instrument stays in demo mode there.
It has an LFO, 12 filters, an arpeggiator, a key and scale lock, and controls for swell, attack, release and pitch. An FX rack adds 18 DSP modules in 10 slots, plus a convolution reverb with 99 spaces and 40 FX impulses.
