Step into the world of avant-garde soundscapes with the Soundiron Tuned Artillery, a Kontakt instrument that reimagines the potential of spent brass artillery shell casings and military helmets from the WWI and WWII eras. This meticulously crafted library combines both tuned and untuned metallic percussion, capturing the essence of history with a modern twist. Inspired by pioneers like Harry Partch, this instrument is perfect for composers seeking to infuse their music with deep, resonant, and harmonically rich tones.

Soundiron's innovative approach includes recording these unique percussion instruments in both dry and reverberant hall settings. Multiple velocity layers and articulations were captured using state-of-the-art gear, offering a diverse palette of sounds that range from subtle pings and dings to powerful clunks and shakes. With the addition of 20 custom FX presets and new ambient pads, Tuned Artillery is designed to ignite your creativity, whether you're scoring for film, video games, or crafting experimental music compositions.

The user-friendly Kontakt interface provides a suite of automation-ready controls. Shape your sound with precision, using tools like swell, attack, and release, or dive into advanced modulation with the adaptable LFO system. The customizable arpeggiator and key/scale lock system make melodic composition and live performance effortless. This library is a treasure trove of possibilities, inviting you to explore and push boundaries in your musical journey.
