This small set is quite diverse both in the origin (acoustic and electronic) and the types of sounds included. It is a mix of percussions and SFX one-shot samples and hits, some with velocity layers. It's not meant to be the definitive anything but these samples can be useful in a wide range of musical settings to add different, varied and unique sonic colors. A good complement to any SFX library.
Samples are grouped in folders and you will find below a description of each folder. Kits by folder for Kontakt 3 and the soundfont formats are provided.
The kits are mainly designed to let users easily audition the samples of each folder.
Folders description:
- Acoustic (67 samples): 52 samples of a Snoopy Jaw Harp, 7 samples of 2 different handbells and a few others.
- FX (147 samples): collection of various electronic SFX that can be further divided in the following categories, Machines and Electricity, Spacy and Others. Note that there's a subfolder with 20 of the samples looped.

- Vel layers (159 samples): mix of electronic percussions/FX with velocity layers.
