Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of the Soundiron Whale Drum, a unique Kontakt instrument inspired by one of the oldest instrument families on Earth: the tongue or slit drum. This modern rendition captures the marimba-like warmth and dreamy tones reminiscent of ancient idiophones. With its expressive dynamic layering, the Whale Drum effortlessly transitions from a soft, rounded attack to a subtly undulating decay, making it ideal for both atmospheric compositions and intricate orchestral arrangements.

Meticulously recorded in both a dry studio environment and a large reverberant hall, every nuance of the Whale Drum has been captured with precision. Whether struck with mallets, wooden sticks, or brushes, each note offers an array of textures and tonal richness, supported by an average of 10 dynamic velocity layers and 10 round-robin variations per note. Complementing the main instrument are a smaller 3-note slit drum and a wooden toy xylophone, alongside a selection of delicately crafted atmospheric pads and evolving ambiences.

Control is at your fingertips with a comprehensive user interface that includes sound-shaping options like swell, attack, release, and more. The Advanced Control window expands your creative possibilities with an LFO, FX filters, and a robust arpeggiator system. The FX rack offers 18 different DSP effect modules to customize your sound further.
