The Sick 4 Black Friday deal puts 50% off this Soundiron horror percussion and foley library for Kontakt, so it comes to $29.50 until Dec 6, 2026.
Sick Volume 4 is the fourth entry in Soundiron's annual Sick series. It runs to over 2 GB of sound design content, and the maker says it suits music and sound production alike.
The source material is pumpkins, lots of them, in all shapes and sizes. The team smashed them with hammers, crowbars, saws, drills, wrenches, fists and boots.
They also pulled proto-musical sounds out of steel pails, swinging chains and dragging cinderblocks.
The maker's aim was a detailed horror foley collection for sound designers and scoring composers. They also played the pumpkins with drum sticks, fingers and mallets to build a playable percussion instrument.
The percussion side covers 35 articulations, each with 12x round robin and up to 8 velocity layers. Sick 4 covers a wide range of gory and eerie sources: a pumpkin struck with hands, sticks, mallets and hammers, a metal bucket played with fingers, sides and sticks, bone saws, hack saws, and chains that impact, rattle, yank and swing. Power drilling is there too, along with hammer and wrench hits to the head, stabbing, ripping, scooping and slamming of flesh, and gravestones that drag and tumble, as do wrenches dragged across surfaces. In total you get 1300 detailed horror effects, 1425 deep-sampled percussive effects and 54 ambiences and soundscapes built from the source material, plus custom controls, rack FX and convolutions.
Sick 4 needs the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 5.1.0 or later. It is an open-format library, so the free Kontakt Player only gives you demo mode.
The custom interface exposes sound-shaping controls, and each one is automation-ready in your host or in Kontakt stand-alone.
The Libraries tab doesn't support it. Load it from the Kontakt file browser instead, or import it into the Kontakt database and Quickload.
The install is 2 GB of 2,779 samples as 24 bit / 48kHz uncompressed PCM wav, with 11.nki instrument presets. Presets and samples are unlocked, and the wavs can be mapped into other wav-compatible samplers and synths.
System requirements: Windows 7 or higher, or Mac OSX 10.7 or higher, a dual-core CPU and 2 GB of RAM. The maker recommends a SATA or SSD drive.
Yes. The Sick 4 Black Friday deal takes 50% off Soundiron's horror percussion and foley library for Kontakt, bringing it to $29.50. The deal ends Dec 6, 2026.
Sick 4 has 35 percussion articulations with 12x round robin and up to 8 velocity layers, 1300 horror sound effects, 1425 deep-sampled percussive effects and 54 ambiences and soundscapes. It comes to 2 GB across 2,779 samples.
No. It needs the full retail version of Kontakt 5.1.0 or later. In the free Kontakt Player it only runs in demo mode, because the library uses the open format and the Libraries tab can't load it.
Mostly pumpkins, hit and wrecked with hammers, crowbars, saws, drills, wrenches, fists and boots. Soundiron also recorded steel pails, swinging chains and dragging cinderblocks, and played the pumpkins with drum sticks, fingers and mallets for the percussion.
