• 5-octave marimba library designed for a range of musical styles.

Product Overview

Paradise Marimba features an extensively sampled five-octave marimba, known for its warm and full sustain, distinguishing it from more percussive libraries. The instrument is particularly suited for ambient and cinematic compositions, with options for both standard and softer bass marimba mallets to enhance its rich tonal palette.

Details

The library includes up to 11 round-robins across four dynamics, ensuring a natural and expressive performance. Realistic playable rolls are a standout feature, allowing for dynamic control over velocity and speed in real-time, mimicking the technique of a live marimba player. Additionally, the inclusion of staccato hits offers a unique articulation not commonly found in other marimba libraries, achieved by muting the bars after striking them.

Recording was executed with separate close, mid, and far mic signals, providing flexibility in mixing. This setup allows for a tailored sound that can fit various scoring contexts, from intimate settings to expansive soundscapes. The library's design prioritizes playability, making it a practical choice for composers looking to integrate marimba into their work seamlessly.
