Simple Kalimba (previously Kris Kalimba) is a hand-crafted kalimba (African thumb piano) with a 1/4" input jack for line recording. Unlike traditional kalimbas, Simple Kalimba was created with a wooden slab (instead of a hollow coconut shell) without a sound hole and each metal rod is cut to a specific length to form a tuned diatonic C major scale. For maximum playability, the original one-octave (C3 to C4) has been stretched to 3.5 octaves (G2 to C6). Each note has 4 round-robin samples and 2 dynamic layers (p and mf). This delicate bell-like instrument is perfect for spreading cheer in your tracks. Features in v1.1: New name & GUI 3.5 octaves range (G2 to C6) of finger-plucked notes 4 round-robin samples per note 2 dynamic layers per note (p and mf) Reverb knob to add a large hall reverb to the mix Chorus knob to control the amount of stereo presence Delay knob (set to 1/4 note; tempo aligns to your DAW session) Dynamics knob to control volume (mapped to Mod wheel) 22 MB download file size (48 kHz, 24-bit NCW) Requires full-version Kontakt 7.10.7 or higher
