Panacea Black Friday pricing starts at $74.50, 50% off, until Dec 6, 2026, for Soundiron's 25 GB tuned percussion collection that runs in the free Kontakt 8 Player and ships with NKS support.
It gathers eight Soundiron libraries into one Kontakt instrument: steel tongue drums, handpans, kalimbas and slit drums. The maker says the recordings range from the Sierra foothills to underground bunkers.
The pitch is tuned percussion for ambient, cinematic, world, underscore, electronic and hybrid work. There are 168 presets to start from.
The eight instruments are:
Soundiron says each one has its own sonic character. They are set up to blend together or to double a melody.
Everything sits behind a modular 4-layer GUI. The LFO system lets you pick the shape, the modulation target, speed, intensity and fade-in time, and it can sync to tempo.
You also get 12 filters covering lowpass, high-pass and FX types. Modulation can be driven by how hard a key is struck, the mod wheel, expression and aftertouch, where a note sits on the keyboard, or a step sequencer table.
The arpeggiator has a velocity table plus controls for direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. A key and scale lock keeps your notes inside common scales and keys, which helps with melodic writing and live playing.
Automation-ready controls cover swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, coarse and fine pitch, articulation switching, cross-fading and layering. Soundiron also adds sound-designed custom FX presets.
This is a Powered-By-Kontakt Player Edition. It runs in the latest free Kontakt Player (VST, AU, AAX) through the Libraries rack, and it needs Kontakt 8.1 or higher.
The library is 25 GB, so plan disk space before you download.
