Kazoo Black Friday Deal 2026: $4.50, 50% off

Get the Kazoo Black Friday deal at 50% off, which brings this Soundiron Kontakt instrument to $4.50 until Dec 6, 2026.

Kazoo is a sample library built from a kazoo ensemble, played on hand-crafted wax paper and plastic instruments. Soundiron says it brought in four kazoo virtuosos to record it.

It loads as one master NKI instrument bank in open Kontakt format.

How was the Kazoo library recorded?

The sessions took place in Soundiron's private studios. A wide stereo pair of large-diaphragm Neumann microphones captured the sound, which Soundiron says gives it a bright tone and high fidelity.

The library holds 501 stereo samples, 24 bit / 48 kHz uncompressed PCM wav, and takes up 1.14 GB once installed.

The articulations cover Ensemble Kazoo, Solo Kazoo and Vocal Backing. There are also 30 ambiences made from the source content.

What can you do with it inside Kontakt?

The interface is built around automation-ready controls. You can shape swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter and pitch (coarse and fine), and switch articulations, cross-fade and layer.

The main tools are:

• An LFO with selectable shape, modulation target, speed, intensity, tempo-sync and fade-in time
• 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters that can be driven by velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position or step-sequencer table control
• An arpeggiator with a velocity table and control over direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration
• A key and scale lock that keeps your notes inside common scales and keys
• 20 sound-designed custom FX and ambient presets

The modular FX rack offers 18 DSP modules across 10 slots, in any order you choose. You'll find a phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ and a rotator. A bank of factory rack chain presets gives you somewhere to start.

The reverb is convolution-based. It carries 99 rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor spaces, plus 40 custom FX impulses for heavier sound design.

What does Kazoo need to run?

It needs the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.8.0 or later. This is a standard open-format Kontakt library, so the free Kontakt Player can only run it in demo mode.

The Libraries tab doesn't support it. Load it through the File browser tab, or import it into the Quickload window.

The sample directories are unlocked, so you can also use the wav files in other wav-compatible samplers and synth formats.

System requirements are Windows 7 or higher, or Mac OSX 10.9 or higher, with a dual-core CPU and 2 GB of RAM. Soundiron recommends a SATA or SSD drive.
