Vital Series: Mallets by Vir2 Instruments brings eight tuned percussion instruments into one patch, making it easy to build anything from delicate bell melodies to layered rhythmic textures. Blend marimba, xylophone, glockenspiel, tubular bells, glass marimba, song bells, vibraphone and crotales without switching patches. Dry stereo recordings capture up to four velocity layers and five round robins per instrument, while multiple mallet choices offer contrasting attacks and tonal colours. Each instrument has independent volume, pan, stereo width and envelope controls, plus octave remapping and an extended playable range. A dedicated rolls creator adds repeating strikes, while LFO modulation, a global low-pass filter and seven built-in effects expand the sound-shaping options. With 146 natural, roll-based and layered presets, this mallet instrument library suits producers, songwriters and composers looking for expressive percussion, atmospheric accents or processed melodic layers. Komplete Kontrol and Maschine integration is also included.
