Kalimbascope

Will work in most DAWs and notation software, using Plogue's sforzando!

      A kalimba is a western interpretation of an African thumb piano, known as the mbira. As with my other sample libraries, I have done my best to record samples that would make it possible to recreate a realistic perfromance. However, I’ve also made it possible to stretch beyond what is physically possible and manipulate the sound in a variety of different ways, hence the play on the word "kaleidoscope"!
