The Drums of St Paul Black Friday deal is 50% off, bringing Soundiron's 3-piece drum library for Kontakt to $9.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
It's a kick, snare and tom set recorded in the sanctuary hall of Saint Paul's in San Francisco. That's the same room used for Soundiron's Requiem Light Symphonic Choir.
Drums of St Paul is a multi-sampled drum library for Kontakt. Each drum was captured from three mic positions: Close, Mid and Far.
Blend the three and you get a natural room tail and an open tone. The maker says the set suits any genre.
According to Soundiron, each drum was recorded to sound clear and upfront, in a broad stereo field, with as many as 13 velocity layers and 16 round robins.
According to the maker, the library suits many jobs: cinematic drum parts ranging from subtle to epic, orchestral concert percussion, beats for pop and rock tracks, as well as replacing or layering existing drum recordings.
Each articulation can be pushed further with the arpeggiator and the FX rack.
The Kontakt interface carries automation-ready controls for swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, coarse and fine pitch, articulation switching, cross-fading and layering.
There's an LFO system with selectable shape, modulation target, speed, intensity, tempo-sync and fade-in time. You can also pick from 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters. You can steer modulation from how hard a key is struck, the mod wheel, expression, channel pressure, where a note sits on the keyboard, or a table driven by the step sequencer.
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.
Soundiron also added 20 sound-designed ambiences, atmospheres and sustaining pads, hand-crafted from the raw source recordings. Run them under the drums for tonal leads and background texture, or use them on their own.
You need the full version of Kontakt 6.2.2 or later. Kontakt Player does not work with this open-format instrument.
System requirements: Windows 7 or higher, or Mac OS X 10.12 or higher. A dual-core CPU and 2 GB of RAM are listed, and a SATA or SSD drive is recommended.
Yes. The Drums of St Paul Black Friday deal takes 50% off Soundiron's Kontakt drum library, bringing it to $9.50 until Dec 6, 2026. It's a 3-piece kit of kick, snare and tom recorded at Saint Paul's in San Francisco.
You get 21 Kontakt.nki presets and 4,189 stereo WAV samples at 24 bit / 48 kHz, about 3.2 GB installed. There's an FX rack with convolution reverb, plus 20 sound-designed ambiences, atmospheres and sustaining pads.
No. It's an open-format Kontakt library, so it needs the full version of Kontakt 6.2.2 or later. Kontakt Player isn't compatible. It runs on Windows 7 or higher and Mac OS X 10.12 or higher.
The kit was recorded from Close, Mid and Far mic positions. Kick, snare and tom articulations include strikes, rim clicks and rimshots, with up to 13 velocity layers and 16 round robin per articulation.
