SONUSCORE Origins Volume 1: Steel Tongue & Sansula is a Kontakt-powered melodic percussion library that offers samples of sansula and steel tongue drum, two unique instruments with an ethnic sound reminiscent of African tribal music. The sansula is a modern version of the Kalimba played by plucking metal tines attached to a membrane. The steel tongue drum is a present-day instrument with percussive sounds played with mallets or by hand. When combined in the Multi-Arpeggio Designer (MAD), the instruments produce a contemporary sounding, bell-like sound, great for creative scoring with mystical sonic landscapes.

The instruments can be played as single notes or as rhythmical patterns generated by the Multi-Arpeggio Designer. Each instrument has its own independent, fully controllable arpeggiating system that lets them react to each other, with a human feel. The library comes with over 80 MAD arpeggio presets, which combine both instruments to help you quickly create harmonic patterns, interlocking rhythms, and inspiring soundscapes.

For more possibilities to sculpt the tonal character of your sound, Origins Volume 1 comes with 12 Color presets, all radically different in character and with settings ranging from synthetic leads to glass-like sounds. MAD presets and Color presets can be combined, resulting in over 900 predefined combinations.
