Wildebeat - A modern percussion toolkit for Kontakt 5 from Man Makes Noise out now!

[Kuusniemi]

Ever walked into the forest with a sledge hammer on your shoulder? Bashed rocks to bits and pieces? Or been banging on that one rusty gate for way too long that onlookers are this close to calling for professional help?



Wildebeat is the result of all that and more. It’s a modern percussive foray that has it’s heartbeat beaten in wood, metal and stone. It was recorded in the forests and abandoned buildings around here. So if you see any trolls running around looking scared, they’re probably running away from the recording sessions.

Wildebeat is a modern toolkit of natural raw and designed found sound drums and percussion. It is made of an assortment of wood, metal and stone based sounds. The library is divided into two sections; natural and designed. The natural section contains all the recorded raw material in its natural form arranged into suitable kits. The designed section contains manipulated drums kits, percussion sets, hits, loops, sliced loops and fx.





The library contains 261 .NKI patches, 12,881 samples and takes up 5.3 gigabytes of hard drive space.

The samples are left in uncompressed WAV format to provide you with the possibility to load them into your favorite drum tool, sampler or use them as raw audio files in your DAW.



Wildebeat requires the FULL VERSION of Kontakt 5. It is proven to work with version 5.8.1 and higher. It will not function in the Free Player version.

Wildebeat retails for 59€ (excluding VAT where applicable). Intro price is 39€ until the 1st of January 2021. Get it here: https://www.manmakesnoise.com/wildebeat

There is simple one patch demo version of the library to hear and test out the sounds:

Not usually into teaser videos, but this one made me smile.

First off, the teaser video is absolutely brilliant and more important, it worked!

Second - this is a very cool library. And 39 Euro (approx $48 to us yanks) is not a lot.

You did a great job with the library and the marketing thereof! Take a bow...
