Sick 3 Black Friday Deal 2026: $24.50, 50% off

Sick 3 is a Kontakt library from Soundiron, and the Sick 3 Black Friday deal is 50% off, taking it to $24.50 until Dec 6, 2026.

The full title is Sick Volume 3: Dark Places. It is a sound-design and field-recording collection built around dark, suspense and horror material: 175 environments, soundscapes, hellscapes and nightmare worlds.

Soundiron say the team traveled to the edge of a hurricane and walked through decrepit industrial, military and institutional ruins to capture the ambiences.

The creature noises, the drones and the sonic delirium were hand-crafted by the same team.

What is inside the Sick 3 library?

The collection ships as one master NKI instrument bank in open Kontakt format. Here is what the maker lists:

• Creature noises, convolutions, environment field recordings, drones and SFX
• 40 ambience patches created from the source content
• 20 custom sound-designed FX and ambient presets
• 549 stereo samples, 24 bit / 48 kHz uncompressed PCM wav
• 4.6 GB installed

Convolution impulse responses

Sick 3 also includes 335 live stereo convolution reverb impulse responses. They were captured in bunkers, prisons, waterfronts, graveyards, forests, chambers, warehouses, sewers and more.

The focus is on spaces that lean dark and foreboding, from a derelict prison hall to a tight, claustrophobic earthen grave.

Soundiron recorded them at a variety of capture distances, angles and degrees of occlusion. You can use them to place instruments, sound design or foley into a space inside a music, film, television, game or multimedia mix.

They sit in the Samples folder as wav files. Any convolution effect, host, virtual instrument or utility that imports wav impulses can load them.

Performance and shaping tools

The interface is multi-layer, with controls for LFO, filter, glide and arpeggiator, plus a full FX rack that includes a convolution reverb with custom rooms, halls, chambers and FX environments.

• Flexible LFO offering a choice of waveform, destination, rate, depth, tempo-sync and fade-in time
• 12 filters covering lowpass, high-pass and FX types, which can be driven by velocity, the mod wheel, expression, aftertouch, key position or step-sequencer table control
• Configurable arpeggiator with a velocity table plus settings for direction, timing, swing, randomization and note length
• Key and scale lock that keeps your notes within common scales and keys, helpful for melodic writing and live playing

The full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5 or higher is required. In the free Kontakt Player the library only runs in demo mode.

On Windows that means Windows 7 or higher. On Mac it means OSX 10.9 or higher. Soundiron list a dual-core CPU and 2 GB of system RAM, and recommend a SATA or SSD drive.
