Overview

Marimba Adams MAHA50
Temple blocks Kolberg
Recorded in the large Stage A of Vienna Synchron Stage
Over 105,600 Samples (Full Library)
Captured with 12 microphones (Full Library)

The Marimba originally is an African instrument consisting of a succession of differently sounding wooden bars. We recorded not only single notes played with hard and soft mallets, but also harmonics, glissandos, and various effect sounds. Temple Blocks are wooden slit drums originally coming from East Asia. In the late 20th century they also began to be used sometimes in jazz and western orchestral music. The included set features performances with hard and soft mallets with up to 6 dynamic layers and up to 8 round robins for single strokes.
