Bodhrans & Bones £39

This stunning 2.3GB Kontakt library comprises multisampled emulations of six Irish frame drums, played with tippers (sticks), brushes and fingers, across centre, mid, edge, rim and shell articulations; and two sets of bones (a bit like claves). The pitch and damping sliders are MIDI-mappable for authentic performance; and the scripted engine features three mic positions, up to three ‘stacked’ players with variable Timing and Tuning, a handful of sound shaping controls, and an extensive modular effects rack. The value is unbelievable – so snap it up now! timespace.com
