Sick 1 Black Friday pricing takes 50% off this Soundiron horror library for Kontakt, which brings it to $9.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
It is the first volume in Soundiron's SICK horror series: a compact collection of creature, demon, zombie and spirit voices, plus gore impacts, ripping flesh, splattering guts and oozing viscera.
Soundiron says it was designed for Halloween but works as a creative toolbox all year. You can use it raw for horror and combat sound design, or run it inside Kontakt for darker experimental music.
The samples are split into 8 horror categories:
There is also a set of "Screambiences", spooky textures built from the library's own audio. The source material was captured from a range of miserable sound sources.
The content is 232 stereo WAV samples at 24 bit / 48 kHz, uncompressed PCM, and it takes up 445 MB once installed.
The interface gives you automation-ready controls for swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter and pitch (coarse and fine). Articulation switching, cross-fading and layering are covered too.
The LFO system lets you choose the shape, modulation target, speed, intensity, tempo sync and fade-in time. Sick 1's filter section holds 12 filters covering lowpass, high-pass and FX types, and its modulation routing accepts sources like velocity, mod wheel, expression, aftertouch, keyboard position and the step-sequencer table.
The arpeggiator has a velocity table and controls for direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. A key and scale lock constrains your notes to common scales and keys.
The FX rack has 10 slots and 18 DSP modules you can load in any order, including phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ and rotator. The convolution reverb ships with 99 rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor spaces, plus 40 custom FX impulses for more extreme treatments.
Soundiron adds sound-designed FX presets and factory FX rack chain presets as starting points.
Sick 1 is a standard open-format Kontakt library, built around one master NKI instrument. It needs the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or later.
The free Kontakt Player only runs it in a limited demo mode, and 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 also work in other WAV-compatible samplers and synths.
System requirements are Windows 7 or higher, or Mac OSX 10.9 or higher. Soundiron recommends a dual-core CPU, 2 GB of RAM and a SATA or SSD drive.
