The Instruments

Ten concert instruments, sampled in detail.

Inside the Sampler

The main page: mallets, techniques, tone, roll, velocity curve and mod wheel

The Accent Tap Sampler

Everything you play is on one page: mallet changes, deadstroke and shaft strokes, a roll engine that can speed up as you play louder, the vibraphone motor, tone controls, and a velocity curve you can draw.

The Edit page: envelopes, EQ, sample groups, round robin and MIDI mapping

Under The Hood

Open the Edit page for envelopes, the motor LFO, EQ, compression and reverb, per-group mixing, round robin and your own MIDI mapping rules — all saved with the preset.

Ensemble mode: a four-player marimba section with humanization controls

Ensemble Mode

Turn one instrument into a section of up to 16 players, each with its own mallet, technique, roll and MIDI channel. Detune and timing make it sound played, and the section stays level as it grows.

The stage: marimbas at the front, vibraphones behind, keyboards at the back

The Stage

Place every player in one room. Drag them anywhere or let Auto-Space arrange them — distance makes a player quieter, narrower, darker and wetter, so the back row sounds like the back row.

A Sibelius score with the plugin open, playing the five-player marimba section it built from the score

Built for Sibelius

Add a staff and press play: the right instrument loads, staves of one instrument become a section, and everyone takes their place on the stage. Your markings play too — mallet changes, three-slash tremolos as real rolls, staccatos and X noteheads as deadstrokes, pedal lines, and hairpins through rolls. Converting an older score takes one plugin.
