Introducing Memory Box - a new virtual instrument which redefines the sound of a classic music box. Featuring unique articulations such as bowing, muted plucks, double stops and a variety of designed instruments, this wonderful library is guaranteed to inspire new and exciting musical ideas. Recorded using the high-end contact microphones, no other music box library is able to offer the sound quality of Memory Box.

THIS LIBRARY REQUIRES THE FULL VERSION OF KONTAKT

We spent weeks testing out different sizes and styles of music boxes and attaching them to a range of different resonant surfaces such as tables, the back of pianos and other instruments. Once we found the perfect combination, we got to work recording the music boxes down to the finest details using high end Barcus Berry contact microphones. We aimed to explore unique sonic possibilities and capture the intimate, fragile tone but with a modern twist. This resulted in a music box like no other and a highly unique and playable virtual instrument. We decided that this library would be the perfect addition to our highly popular Mini tools range, which features a collection of boutique virtual instruments designed to inspire and deliver at an affordable price. These libraries are truly the gems in our collection, as they define our mission at Sonixinema – to redefine the expectations of traditional instruments, and inspire new musical possibilities.

For this library we adapted Kontakt engine based on the work of Jeremiah Pena, which features four tabs - the Main engine, Effects engine, Rhythm engine and the Output engine. The main engine features a flexible three layer mixer, which allows you to control the volume, panning and pitch of any given layer. Also on this tab you can access to an amp, pitch and filter envelope. The effects engine provides easy access to all insert and send effects such as reverb, delay, chorus, distortion, reverb and other useful controls perfect for shaping your sound. The rhythm engine allows you to program 16 step rhythmic patterns using the step sequencer, and is incredibly useful for creating instant energy and excitement with static sounds. The output engine features a built in 4 band EQ system, along with a stereo width control and compressor.

Kontakt Player is a free sampler created by Native Instruments, which allows you to use certain sample libraries without the need for additional paid software. Kontakt (sometimes referred to as the FULL version of Kontakt) is a sampler which can be purchased from www.nativeinstruments.com. The vast majority of our libraries only run in the FULL version of Kontakt, and therefore you must check that you have the correct version of Kontakt in order to use our sample libraries. Please check the description of each individual product page to find out which version of Kontakt you will need.
NKS brings all your software instruments, effects, loops and samples, into one intuitive workflow – creating seamless integration between NI and other leading developers. It gives you streamlined browsing, consistent tagging, instant sound previews, pre-mapped parameters, Smart Play features, and more. Please note that currently our libraries are not supported by NKS, however we will be updating certain products to be NKS compatible in the near future.
All of our Kontakt based libraries contain samples that have been converted to NCW. This has been done primarily to protect the content within the library, making it more difficult for people to use the samples outside of Kontakt. Certain libraries created by us include a WAV pack which means you can work directly with audio within your DAW.
DAW stands for Digital Audio Workstation. Softwares such as Logic Pro X, Cubase, Nuendo, Pro Tools, Ableton and Reaper are DAWs. In theory, you do not need a DAW to use one of our products, you do however need the correct version of Kontakt. However, if you plan on creating music, we recommend using a DAW to allow you to record and sequence your MIDI for easy playback.
