Just two old cymbals, but I played them in many different ways: different

sticks, hands, mallets, angles, and dynamics. 

​

From this session came 12 distinct cymbal samples, designed to sit around your sound rather than on top of it, perfect for ambient layers, LoFi and minimal compositions.

​

On the keyboard, the layout is intentionally simple and musical:

• The blue keys the 12 original cymbal samples

• The three octaves below are detuned versions at –12, –24, and –36 semitones

• The first octave above is tuned +12 semitones

• The top octave features one cymbal stretched across the range, tuned over one and a half octaves for more abstract, airy gestures

​

All sounds are mapped across 5 octaves in total and can be shaped easily using the built-in HPF & LPF, and filter envelope, an amp envelope, a delay and a reverb, letting you move from barely-there shimmer to evolving metallic clouds.

​

The library is free, and I’d genuinely love to hear how you use it.

If it ends up in a track, a sketch, or a quiet late-night experiment let me know.

​

Sometimes less source material means more character.
