Darker Digital has released Rompulator Lite, a free NI Kontakt instrument based on a set of samples from their commercial Rompulator sound library.
Rompulator is a ROM-synthesizer designed for multi-layer patches built from synthetic basses, brasses, strings, bells, choirs and more. The carefully designed 49 synthetic instruments, functioning as the basis for Rompulator’s multi-layer patches, give Rompulator a wide range of sound design possibilities and a crystal clear modern sound.
Rompulator Lite is available for free download via Darker Digital (32.99 MB download size, ZIP archive, contains 4 instrument patches in NKI format for Native Instruments Kontakt).
