Cosmic Hand Pans Black Friday: Soundiron's steel handpan collection for Kontakt is 50% off, down to $29.50, until Dec 6, 2026.
The library covers three instruments, all built by Grahm Doe of Hapi Drum: a classic D minor handpan and two hybrids that blend handpan and tongue drum designs.
It runs in the free Kontakt Player, so you don't need the full version of Kontakt.
The collection holds three deeply sampled instruments, with up to four microphone positions each.
The traditional D minor handpan is dark, warm and mellow, with a ghostly resonance full of harmonic overtones. Soundiron recorded it with fingerpads, fingertips, small soft rubber mallets and jazz brushes.
The Prototype fuses a standard tongue drum with a handpan resonator face. The maker describes it as brash and plucky, like a steel drum, with intense and chaotic overtones.
Its steel tongues take harder playing, so it was recorded with soft and hard rubber mallets and metal rods.
The Hybrid Handpan has handpan-style finger dimples on the face, tuned to match tongue drum tines on the belly. Each side has its own character. The face was recorded with soft rubber finger mallets and sustaining finger rolls, the tongues with superball and giant rubber mallets.
The modular, multi-layered UI lets you mix, layer, retune and customize each sound.
The library is made for the free Kontakt Player (version 6.2.2 or later), Komplete Kontrol, all S-Series keyboards and NKS software and hardware from Native Instruments. It works with the Kontakt Libraries browser and Native Access.
