Sick 2 Black Friday pricing is $9.50, 50% off, until Dec 6, 2026, on Soundiron's horror sound design library for Kontakt.
The maker describes Sick 2 as a one stop shop for eerie, disturbing paranormal sound design. You get over 200 production-quality horror sound effects and sound beds in one master NKI instrument bank.
The content covers a lot of dark ground:
The raw material came from two locations: an abandoned Civil War/World War I-era naval artillery bunker and a World War II/Cold War-era decommissioned warship.
The library holds 391 stereo samples, recorded as 24 bit / 48 kHz uncompressed PCM wav files. It installs at 671 MB, and 21 ambience patches are built from the source content.
The Kontakt 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 there too.
An LFO system lets you pick the shape, modulation target, speed, intensity, tempo-sync and fade-in time. Sick 2 offers 12 filters spanning lowpass, high-pass and FX types. Their settings can be driven by velocity, modwheel, expression, aftertouch, where a note sits on the keyboard, or the step-sequencer table.
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.
The modular rack offers 18 DSP effect modules. You can load them into any of 10 slots, in any order.
The modules include phaser, flanger, delay, distortion, amp and cab simulators, compressors, EQ and rotator. The convolution reverb carries 99 rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor environments, plus 40 custom FX impulses for pushing a sound well past normal space.
There are 20 sound-designed FX and ambient presets, and a bank of FX rack chain factory presets to start from.
Sick 2 needs the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or above. In the free Kontakt Player it only runs in demo mode.
The maker lists Windows 7 or higher, or Mac OSX 10.9 or higher. A dual-core CPU and 2 GB of RAM are listed, with a SATA or SSD drive recommended.
Yes. The Sick 2 Black Friday deal is 50% off, which brings the Soundiron Kontakt library to $9.50. The offer ends Dec 6, 2026.
Over 200 horror sound effects and sound beds: bunker and ship taps, stomps, footsteps and impacts, electronic voice phenomena, and 21 ambience patches. It also has 20 sound-designed FX and ambient presets and 391 stereo samples.
No. Soundiron says the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or above is required. In the free Kontakt Player the library only runs in demo mode, so the full instrument is not available.
The FX rack has 18 DSP modules across 10 slots, plus a convolution reverb with 99 rooms, halls, chambers and outdoor spaces and 40 FX impulses. You also get an LFO, 12 filters, an arpeggiator and key and scale lock.
