Solo Vibraphone

Solo Vibraphone by Cinematique Instruments brings the resonant character of a Yamaha orchestral vibraphone to your productions. Spanning 4½ octaves, this sampled instrument moves from clear, ringing mallet notes to muted strikes, slow-building bowed tones and unusual prepared textures. Recordings made with objects such as coins, spoons and folded paper offer contrasting timbres that can be played separately or blended together. Close microphone placement captures a defined stereo sound without room ambience, leaving space for your own processing or the onboard reverbs, including an Infinite setting. An eight-step sequencer with per-step voicing helps turn simple ideas into rhythmic patterns, while octaver, chorus and bit-crushing effects expand the sound palette. It suits producers and composers looking for organic melodic percussion, atmospheric layers or experimental accents, with enough variety for both traditional vibraphone parts and more exploratory arrangements.
