Splash Sound offers the Old School Keys and Indie Voices libraries for NI Kontakt for free until December 8.
Old School Keys is a library of five vintage keyboards that normally cost $43, and Indie Voices is a library featuring vocals recorded by professional singers that normally costs $27.
You’ll need Kontakt 5.6.8 or higher to use the libraries, as they are not compatible with the free Kontakt Player.
To get the plugins, you’ll also need to provide an email address and phone number at checkout, although you are able to opt out of receiving marketing communications.
Old School Keys is designed as a simple solution for musicians who want a compact, old-school instrument.
Splash Sound said the library is right at home for funk solos, jazz harmony, or sonic experiments of the retro variety.
The plugin features the following keyboards: Classic Electric Piano, Hammond Jazz Organ, Kawai Funk Organ, FM Electric Piano, and Acoustic Upright Piano.
The above keyboards are based on the following models, respectively: 1974 Fender Rhodes Stage Electric Piano, Hammond B3 Organ, Kawai E-150 Organ, 1996 Korg Trinity synthesizer, and Yamaha U1J PM with Casio AP-700 layering.
The plugin features nine patches, which are Classic EP, Classic EP MIX, KF Organ, KF Organ MIX, FM EP, FM EP MIX, HJ Organ, HJ Organ MIX, and Pop Piano.
There are eight classic effects included as well, which are: Leslie Tone Cabinet, Phaser, Vintage Tape Saturator, Chief v30 Cabinet, Compressor (dry/wet only), Reverb (dry/wet only), and Freq Vibrato.
The Indie Voices library is designed for adding backing vocals to indie, pop, rock, and folk music.
The library has three instruments, which are a Vocal Pad, Shouts, and Melody Maker.
The Vocal Pad has two octaves of “mmm” voices, and the Shouts feature 32 vocal sounds (like “hey”).
The Melody Maker has 18 short notes across 1.5 octaves with a choice of articulation for the purpose of making vocal phrases.
Both plugins feature 2143 WAV format samples in 44.1kHz / 24-bit stereo.
The free libraries are part of Splash Sound’s Black Friday sales. The company’s entire inventory of plugins is currently free or heavily reduced, with the sales ranging from 36% off to 91% off.
