Embertone is a virtual instrument and sample library developer founded in 2011 by Jonathan Churchill, a saxophonist and composer. The company builds deeply sampled Kontakt-based instruments aimed at composers working in film, television, games, and electronic music, with an emphasis on expressive playability and accessible pricing compared to larger orchestral sample library vendors.

The catalog spans solo strings, woodwinds, brass, keyboards, and unconventional acoustic sources. Notable titles include the Joshua Bell Violin — developed in collaboration with the violinist of the same name — along with the Friedlander Violin, Fischer Viola, Blakus Cello, and Leonid Bass in the strings line. Solo woodwinds include the Sensual Saxophone, Herring Clarinet, Popelka Bassoon, and Crystal Flute, while piano offerings include the Walker 1955 Concert D and the Tiny Grand. The company also releases a wide range of more idiosyncratic instruments such as the Mouth Trumpet, Whistler Ensemble, Infinity Bells, and the Tomato Paste Kalimba.

Embertone maintains a free collection of instruments alongside its commercial catalog, including Ancient Voices and Canjo, which are commonly cited as entry points to the developer's work. The libraries are generally distributed via the company's website and partner retailers, and the brand has built a reputation in the sample library community for solo instrument detail and character-driven sources.

Embertone has 12 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Kontakt Instrument and Virtual Instrument. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Electronic. Notable users include Alex Ball.
