String instruments:

Autoharp — This is a stringed instrument with a series of chord bars. Despite its name, the autoharp is not a harp — it's a chorded zither — and it's the perfect instrument to give subtle highlights to all kinds of music (6 patches) Baritone Ukelele Muted — This is the largest size of ukulele and is tuned differently to the others (D-G-B-E, the same as the last four strings of a standard guitar, as opposed to G-C-E-A). We've concentrated on the muted played notes which can add beautiful light and subtle elements to your music. (3 patches)

Kantele — This a traditional plucked string instrument of the zither family native to Finland and Estonia with a distinctive bell-like sound and a diatonic tuning. We've made a Kontakt patch to play it in a chromatic tuning. (3 patches)

Key Instruments:

Magnus Harmonica Orgon — This little organ uses an electric fan to blow air across reeds, like a giant harmonica with keys. (3 patches)

Super Sound EK-470 — This is the processed e-piano sound of a low-cost, garbage keyboard for just €25. The sound is warm and crunchy. (3 patches)

Zeitter & Winklemann Piano — This is our rehearsal piano, located in one of our control rooms. It's got a warm and organic charm. (3 patches)

Mallets/Percussion (Tunes):

Glass — A collection of glasses and vases in different sizes. We scrubbed, rubbed, tapped and hit all the glass and made some very nice instruments out of it. (3 patches)

Metallic Objects/Lids — A collection of lid sounds. We struck the lids with fingers and recorded various sounds. It allows you to make up your own lid-mallet sound.

Percussion:

Metallic Objects/Kitchen, Handrail — This is a collection of sounds, noises, crashes, and bangs made with our studio fixture and fittings: our iron kitchen and our staircase with its huge handrail. The result is astonishing: experimental percussion, strange, and remarkable mallets. Percussion — All percussion sounds are easy to play in a lively, realistic, and organic way (no loops). Available as a multi set or single instruments of: bongos, chimes, guiro, ocean drum, shaker, spring drum, and tambourine. Just in the multi are: toms, cymbals, and wood There is also a collection 5 of different shakers — 2 chicken eggs, 2 wood shaker (small + large) and one plastic shaker.
