Rust Prime Black Friday pricing is $74.50, 50% off, until Dec 6, 2026, on Soundiron's metallic sound-design library for the free Kontakt Player. It is a Kontakt instrument pack built around resonant metal in every form, from impacts to roars.
The maker says the Rust series has become a staple for horror, drama and sci-fi scoring, experimental songwriting and modern production.
The library holds over 19,000 sounds, spread across 6 master NKI instrument banks in Kontakt 8 Player format.
Sources include farm equipment, a caboose, a firetruck and a windmill, among others.
You can hammer away with huge metal percussion ensembles, or zoom in on one sound that catches your ear. Every sound also plays as a chromatic instrument, or you can layer sounds into your own mutations from the GUI.
The Kontakt interface gives you automation-ready controls: swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, coarse and fine pitch, articulation switching, cross-fading and layering.
The LFO system lets you pick the shape, modulation target, speed, intensity, tempo sync and fade-in time. There are 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with modulation targets such as velocity, modwheel, expression, aftertouch, key position and step-sequencer table.
The arpeggiator has a velocity table, plus control over direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. A key and scale lock keeps your notes inside common scales for melodic writing and live playing.
Rust Prime's effects section offers 18 DSP modules, and each of its 10 slots can hold any module in whatever sequence suits you, including modulation, time-based, drive, amp and cabinet modeling, dynamics, tone shaping and rotary options. Soundiron also adds 20 sound-designed custom FX presets.
Rust Prime runs in the free Kontakt Player, version 8.1 or higher, in VST, AU and AAX formats. It works with the Kontakt Libraries browser and Native Access, and with Komplete Kontrol, S-Series keyboards and NKS hardware and software.
It is a digital download, so you need a broadband connection.
