Musique Box Black Friday: this Soundiron Kontakt library of sampled antique music boxes comes in at $19.50, 50% off, until Dec 6, 2026.
The maker recorded 11 music boxes in different environments and configurations, from a dry studio to a lush concert hall, and one setup submerged underwater.
Those recordings were then reworked into extra atmospheric sustains, pads and tuned ambient material, plus dynamic FX.
The library is one master NKI bank in open Kontakt format. Here is what the maker lists:
Soundiron extended the note range across the full scale. That exposes bass tones and tight, percussive high notes well outside what an ordinary music box can play.
The maker's stated aim was a creative tool, not just the biggest music box library possible.
This is the 2.0 version. Soundiron remastered the samples, added a modular template for usability and wrote 20 new custom FX presets for film, game and general composition work.
All the boxes load and blend inside the master preset. You can mix new instruments in real time, with each sound layer controlled from the front panel.
The controls are automation-ready. They cover swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, coarse and fine pitch, articulation switching, cross-fading and layering.
The LFO system has selectable shape, modulation target, speed, intensity, tempo sync and fade-in time. There are 12 low-pass, high-pass and FX filters, and modulation targets include velocity, modwheel, expression, aftertouch, key position and step-sequencer table control.
The arpeggiator has a velocity table and settings for direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration.
A key and scale lock keeps your notes inside common scales and keys, which helps with melody writing and live playing.
The modular rack offers 18 DSP effect modules across 10 slots, in any order. You get phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ, a rotator and more.
The convolution reverb carries 99 impulse responses of rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor spaces. Another 40 custom FX impulses are there for heavier transformation of the sound.
Factory FX rack chain presets are included as starting points.
The library needs the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or later. The free Kontakt Player runs it only in a limited demo mode.
It is a standard open-format library, so the Libraries tab does not support it. Load it through the File browser tab or the Quickload window instead. The sample directories are unlocked, so the WAVs work in other WAV-compatible samplers.
System requirements are Windows 7 or higher, or Mac OSX 10.9 or higher, with a dual-core CPU and 2 GB of RAM. The maker recommends a SATA or SSD drive.
Yes. The Musique Box Black Friday deal takes 50% off Soundiron's Kontakt library, bringing it to $19.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
You get 11 sampled music boxes with winding SFX, 32 ambience patches and 20 custom FX and ambient presets. That is 1,689 stereo WAV files at 24 bit / 48 kHz, 2.24 GB installed, in one master NKI bank.
Only in a limited demo mode. Musique Box needs the complete, paid edition of Native Instruments Kontakt, version 5.5 or newer, to run. The sample directories are unlocked, so the WAVs can also be used in other WAV-compatible samplers.
It has an 18-module FX rack with 10 slots, a convolution reverb with 99 impulse responses plus 40 FX impulses, an LFO system, 12 filters, an arpeggiator and a key and scale lock.
