Xmas Beer Bottles by AudioThing turns Christmas-brewed beer bottles into a sampled instrument collection for the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt. Bottle whistles, hits and gestures provide an unusual palette of blown tones and percussive sounds, alongside custom sound-designed instruments derived from the recordings. Use it to add quirky accents, playful percussion or offbeat melodic textures to tracks that need something beyond familiar synths and drum kits. The collection includes 16 Kontakt instruments and two Kontakt multis, with up to five round-robin samples for variation between repeated notes. Its 35 samples are recorded at 44.1 kHz/24-bit, with Kontakt and WAV formats included. Suited to hobby producers and sound designers who enjoy unconventional sound sources, this is a software instrument collection—not a physical set of bottles—and requires the full Kontakt engine.
