Glitch Hero Black Friday pricing is 50% off, so this Soundiron glitch drums and FX library for Kontakt comes to $49.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
Spencer Nunamaker, the composer and EDM/glitch artist behind JunoVHS, made it. Soundiron describes it as a Juno VHS electronic and glitch production suite, with each of its libraries covering a different style of hand-crafted, sound-designed drums and FX.
The library holds 4,021 samples and 56 Kontakt.nki preset banks. Everything is recorded at 24 bit / 48 kHz stereo and stored as lossless compressed NCW files. It installs at 3.18 GB.
The content is split into 7 categories:
A Multi-FX rack and a reverb are built in. The reverb carries 119 room, hall and FX impulses.
The genre list from Soundiron covers ambient work as well as post-rock, chillwave, downtempo and dub, with minimalist, glitch, dubstep, IDM and EDM styles in the mix, plus soundtrack material.
The maker also points to sci-fi sound design and user interface SFX for games and apps.
Some of the categories name their own target. Shimmer is pitched at game and animation soundtracks, and Shudder at horror scores and dark electronic tracks.
Glitch Hero is built for Native Instruments' free Kontakt Player in VST, AU and AAX formats. It also loads in the full retail Kontakt, version 5.6.8 or later.
It works with Komplete Kontrol and all S-Series keyboards, and has full Maschine support. Once installed, you can add it to the Libraries browser. Registration happens online through the Native Instruments Service Center app.
System requirements: Windows 7 or higher, or OSX 10.10 or higher. You need a dual core CPU and 3+ GB of RAM. A SATA or SSD drive is recommended.
