Vibraphone Effects

A Deep Dive into Experimental Percussion

Soundiron Vibraphone Effects is a deeply sampled virtual instrument featuring an extended range of concert vibraphone articulations, recorded in collaboration with Pearl Drums. The 4-octave Adams Alpha vibraphone with gold anodized bars was captured in close detail, offering a rich, nuanced sound ideal for cinematic scoring, experimental jazz, and modern composition.

The library includes various bowed, finger, hand, wood, and rubber mallet techniques, going far beyond traditional vibraphone playing. Each articulation was recorded with multiple dynamics and round-robins for natural realism. A collection of 36 sound-designed textures and 20 factory presets adds atmospheric depth and tonal variety.

Four independently shapeable layers allow flexible blending of articulations, with controls for vibrato speed, filters, modulation, arpeggiation, and more. The powerful Kontakt engine also includes a modular FX rack with 27 processors and 139 convolution reverb impulses, enabling deep customization and creative exploration.
