Shimmer Black Friday pricing is 50% off, so this Soundiron Kontakt library of glittering percussion, FX, stingers, risers and pads comes to $19.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
The collection holds 463 shimmering, sparkly percussive samples, plus FX, stingers, risers and lush ambient pads. The maker built each sound from sources like bubble-gum pops, vintage toy synths, chimes, bells, whistles and shakers.
Shimmer is a Kontakt instrument pack for glitchy sound-designed percussion, clicky bits and pieces, and sparkly one-shots. Soundiron calls it a fantasy toolbox for games, creative UX effects and electronic music of every genre.
The sounds run from cute, silly drums and small interface effects to big risers and pads. That makes it a fit for game and animation soundtracks, which is the use the maker names first.
On the music side, the maker lists these styles:
Soundiron also points to sci-fi sound design and user interface SFX for games and apps.
The library is organised into 45 kits across 15 distinct categories, with hundreds of samples. Here is the content list:
The pads and drones were created from the same source recordings as the percussion. The.WAV files are unlocked, so you can also drag them straight into a sampler or DAW outside Kontakt.
The interface has automation-ready sound-shaping controls. You get swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, pitch (coarse and fine), articulation switching, cross-fading and layering.
There is also a modular FX rack panel with 27 DSP effect modules. You can load them into any of the 8 slots, in any order, so the signal chain is yours to arrange.
The rack includes a convolution reverb with custom rooms, halls, chambers and FX environments. The mixer carries pro features and deep customisation, so you can shape the tail and balance kits inside the instrument.
If you already own one or more of Soundiron's other Juno VHS libraries, the maker offers bundle upgrades.
