This sample pack brings the unique sounds of one of the oldest instruments in the world – the Armenian duduk – to your DAW. It has polyphonic and legato modes and brings the same easy-to-use GUI found in most Sonic Zest plug-ins. There are controls over the envelope, gain staging, and even effects like delay, chorus, and reverb. It requires Kontakt 5.8.1 to run but doesn’t take up much space. The instrument has been used in many feature films, and this spot-on sample pack is available to you for just $40.

There is a good variety of feels to this library of techno loops, and some even get pretty heavy. But overall there is a nice, chill vibe that ties it all together. Everything is labeled by key and tempo for easy navigation. In the pack are a total of 270 files that include drum/percussion loops, bass, synth, and ambience loops, and textures and FX. Tempos range from 80-135bpm, and some loops even come in MIDI so you can change them up if you’d like.
