Glass

AudioThing Glass turns a balloon wine glass into a Kontakt instrument with clear, ringing attacks and lingering resonance. Its sampled articulations range from finger and palm strikes to hits made with a piano hammer or metal stick, offering distinct textures for delicate melodies and unusual percussion. Wet-finger tones and screws dropped into the goblet expand the palette, while slowed-down, processed hits provide atmospheric pad sounds. It suits producers looking for crystalline accents, ambient layers, or an alternative to familiar mallet instruments. The library includes 10 Kontakt instruments, 7 multis, and 114 samples recorded at 44.1 kHz/24-bit. Up to 10 round-robin samples and 3 velocity layers add variation, with 7 custom reverb impulse responses for additional space. Glass requires the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt.
