Mercury Boys' Choir Elements Black Friday pricing runs at 50% off, which brings this Soundiron boys' choir for Kontakt to $49.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
It's a Kontakt instrument built around a 25-voice boys' ensemble, recorded with the Pacific Boychoir. It runs in the free Kontakt Player, so you don't need the full retail Kontakt to load it.
Soundiron picked the core material from its larger Mercury Symphonic Boys' Choir and packed it into a smaller library. The maker says the aim was a professional children's choral sound with a full feature set and an easy, intuitive way to play it.
The ensemble was captured with a close microphone position in a large hall. The maker describes the result as bright and clear.
The interface has sound shaping and FX features built in, so you can adjust the choir inside the instrument.
It loads in Kontakt Player or the full retail Kontakt (version 5.6.8 or later) as a VST, AU or AAX instrument plugin. The free Kontakt Player needs to be version 5.5.2 or newer. You can add it to the Kontakt Libraries browser, and it needs online serial number registration through the Native Instruments Service Center app. It also works with Komplete Kontrol and the S-Series keyboard controllers.
The library is version 1.5 and holds 1,266 samples in 24-bit / 48kHz lossless NCW format. It comes with 16 nki instrument presets and takes 1.8 GB installed (2.61 GB uncompressed).
On the system side, you need Windows XP or higher, or Mac OS X 10.9 or higher. The maker recommends a dual-core CPU, 2 GB of RAM and a SATA or SSD drive. It's a digital download, so you need a broadband connection.
