FAQ

Q: What version of Kontakt is required for this product?

A: The full unlocked retail version of Kontakt 6.2.2 or later is required. The free Kontakt Player is not supported.

Q: How many mallet types are included with the Hyperion Marimba Solo Edition?

A: Four mallet types are included: Innovative Percussion Pedro Carneiro Series PC3, Promark SPYR SM3, Vic Firth Anders Astrand Orange Series M293, and Extra- large 1.6 soft rubber mallets.

The Marimba is our ﬁrst instrument in the Hyperion Percussion series. To achieve true concert playability, we’ve captured every nuance of this exquisite full-scale Adams Alpha 5-octave rosewood marimba with Apex frame (C2 – C7). This virtual marimba library includes 4 mallet types, with 10 round-robin variations and 12 dynamic layers per note:
1. Innovative Percussion Pedro Carneiro Series PC3 medium soft yarn marimba mallets, for a warm, heavy and yet softly-rounded character. 2. Promark SPYR SM3 medium yarn marimba mallets, for a balanced and classic response with rich tonality. 3. Vic Firth Anders Astrand Orange Series M293 hard yarn vibraphone mallets, for a crisp, sharp and precise attack. 4. Extra-large 1.6″ soft rubber mallets, for a springy bounce, smooth attack and a strongly pronounced, blooming sustain.
This solo edition of the Hyperion Marimba provides an extremely close, wide stereo position. We center on each bar individually to provide unprecedented detail, clarity and robust presence. This allows you a fully customizable stereo ﬁeld over the key range, and you can freely position the instrument on the soundstage to select the perfect room, hall, algorithmic reverb or environmental impulse with our signature Space tab.
The marimba is a common keyboard idiophone originating from sub-Saharan Africa that is commonly found in symphonic orchestras, jazz ensembles, marching and concert bands, world music ensembles and as a beautiful solo instrument in any style of music. A marimba consists of a wide keyboard of tuned wooden bars suspended over resonator tubes to amplify each note. Its warm, soft and full-bodied sound is distinct from the hard, sharp sound of Xylophones by virtue of the marimba’s even harmonic tuning method, carved bar shape and deep extended bass range.
The instrument is typically played with two mallets in each hand to allow chords, rolls, arpeggiation and fast melodic performances. To provide an authentic playing experience, we make it easy to layer and offset key ranges, craft dynamic arpeggios and rolls and generate complex sequences with our 4 instrument layers, each with an independent Arpeggiator, Filter, LFO and control parameters and free positioning on the Space tab.

CREATIVE CONTROL FEATURES

We’ve packed the user interface with powerful sound-shaping controls to give you complete ﬂexibility. The master preset contains every sample in the library and a host of powerful expression features. There are 4 independent sound layers, each with a full set of parameters that can be linked, automated and customized. These include swell, attack, start offset, release (with pad mode), vibrato, ﬁlter, coarse and ﬁne pitch, sound bank selection, and crossfader assignment.
Next, we used various sound-design tricks to morph the sounds from our journey into tonal and dissonant pads, synth-tones and ambient dreamscapes. They can be played by themselves, or used to add texture and body to the primary sounds in the other layers. We’ve also included a basic synthesizer with several shapes that can be added for transient and tonal support.

Deeply sampled Marimba with Rubber, Pro Mark Yarn, PC3 Medium Soft, and M293 Hard Mallets

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

All of the sample content is included as standard open PCM wav ﬁles to allow you easy access to manipulate, reprogram and customize the sounds however you wish.
If you wish to use the optional Kontakt “nki” instrument presets, you’ll need to own the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt 6.2.2 or later. You cannot use this library in the free Kontakt Player. Please be aware that the free Kontakt “Player” is not a full retail version of Kontakt and does not support this library. Please read all speciﬁcations and software requirements before purchasing this or any other Soundiron products to see the full list of software requirements, features and format compatibility for each library. You must have at least Windows 7 or later, or Apple macOS 10.9 or later.
Once installation is complete, you can browse and load the included .nki presets using the Files, Quick-load or Database tabs in the Kontakt Browser, or through the main File load/save menu. Launch Kontakt as a virtual instrument plugin inside your host sequencer or in stand-alone mode. If you’re new to the Quick-load system, check out the Help area of our website and our YouTube channel for tutorial videos on how to use it effectively and conveniently.
Please allow any current preset to ﬁnish loading completely before loading a new one. You cannot use the Libraries view to load standard open-format Kontakt Instruments like this library. Only locked “Powered-By-Kontakt” Libraries are visible to that propriety browser view.
The “Add-Library” function does not support this product or any other open- format Kontakt library. This library doesn’t require any additional activation or unlocking process.

FIDELITY
Natural sonic impurities from body and clothing movement by the performer sounds may be present in some samples. These performance sounds are natural and unavoidable. Therefore, please keep in mind that this library isn’t designed to provide perfectly sterile results. Our goal is to preserve and accentuate the natural live qualities in our instruments without sucking all of the life out of them for the sake of clinical perfection.

The top area of the user interface includes default instrument controls that are common to al Kontakt instruments.

Open The Instrument Editor – Click to view and edit the internal settings and programming of this instrument. Be careful making changes unless you’re an experienced Kontakt user, as changes here can easily break the entire instrument.

Scale Knob – This knob selects the scale the gliss plays back.
Random Knob – This knob adds a human element of less precise quantization.
Curve Knob – This knob applies acceleration or deceleration to the gliss. Turning it down causes the gliss to start slower, then gradually speed up. Turning it up causes the gliss to start fast and gradually slow down toward the end.
Rate Knob – This knob controls the duration of each note in the gliss. The higher the value, the longer each note will be held before triggering the next note.

STRUM
Strum mode allows you to create your own custom strum patterns. Choose your velocity sequence with the graph table, then pick a chord type, duration, direction, and rate to dial in something truly unique.

SCALE LOCK

Lock Button – Click the lock icon next to the SCALE LOCK label to turn on the key/scale locking system. This allows you to easily play within a desired key and scale. When active, the midi keys that are excluded from the current scale will trigger the same note as the key below them, so go ahead and be sloppy if you’d like!
Key Menu – This menu selects the key that you wish to constrain all incoming midi notes to.
Scale Menu – This menu lets you select from a variety of scales, in the key that you have selected.

LEGATO

Legato system can be accessed by clicking on the “LEGATO” button at the bottom of the Advanced controls window (if available). When turned on, this system applies simulated legato to the selected layer, tying notes together as you play an uninterrupted melody. The two options for legato speed are Legato and Portamento. Legato allows for more realistic, quicker note transitions while Portamento allows you to create very long, dramatic transitions. You can adjust the legato transition speed by clicking on the legato curve image and dragging left or right. Portamento will stretch the sample of the initial note up or down, while Legato transitions to a new sample.

STANDARD & AMBIENCE PRESET KEYS

Articulation/Sound Keyswitches – Pressing one of these red keys will change currently selected articulation or sound, visible in the drop-down menus.
