Core Micro Black Friday pricing starts at $24.50, 50% off, until Dec 6, 2026, on Soundiron's all-in-one Kontakt Player library of instruments, voices, ensembles, sound design and cinematic effects.
The maker describes Core Micro as a compendium built for quick sketching and creative flow. It is fully NKS-ready, so it also loads through Komplete Kontrol and Native Instruments keyboards.
The library covers a wide spread of sources. You get:
It ships as 2 master Kontakt Player.nki instrument presets plus 56 custom sound-designed snapshots.
The content is 2,629 stereo samples, recorded at 24-bit, 48 kHz and stored in locked, lossless.ncw format. It takes 4.8 GB installed (9 GB uncompressed).
You can build custom blends from 4 independent modular layers. Each layer has assignable parameters, and there is arpeggiation sequencing with scale and key locking, plus a freely assignable LFO and filters.
The interface carries automation-ready controls for swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, coarse and fine pitch, articulation switching, cross-fading and layering.
The FX rack holds 27 DSP effect modules, which you can load into any of 8 slots in any order. The list includes phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ and a rotator.
The reverb draws on Soundiron's chosen convolution impulse responses: 99 rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor spaces. Another 40 custom FX impulses are there for pushing the tail well past a normal room sound.
FX rack chain factory presets give you a starting point.
Core Micro is a Powered-By-Kontakt Player Edition, so it runs on the free Kontakt Player (version 6.2.2 or higher) in VST, AU and AAX formats. It appears in the Kontakt Libraries browser and works with Native Access.
System requirements:
Soundiron pitches it at composers who want a broad palette for sketching, and at newcomers who want a single library to start from. It also names producers, songwriters, students and teachers as users working in any genre.
