Jun 10, 2009 I really like the sounds in the 1st post. Good ol' fasion psy squelches A good way to get squeaky sounds is to use a couple of saw waves, hi pass filters on them, some delay, and depending how harsh you want it, some distortion and mess around with all of the settings.

AEON Rhythmic v1.2.0 Kontakt Library Size 1.05 Gb
From pristine and expressive to dark and aggressive, AEON Rhythmic delivers 400 presets of pure inspiration, melding super-fat analog synths with expressive organic instruments into a breathtaking electro-organic collection of cutting edge loops. This unique collection combines traditional, ethnic, and orchestral instruments with searing synths and edgy samples, all created with Heavyocity’s signature quality. Available as a download only.
Globally affect the preset with one of the 4 Master FX (Delay, Mod, Drive, and Convolution). You have control over four effect-specific parameters (like effect amount, rate, size, or depth). Dial in the aggression with the signature “Punish” Knob, a combination of saturation, distortion, and compression. Or, modulate the shape of the sound with the new “Twist” knob.
AEON’S user interface was designed FOR composers and sound designers BY composers and sound designers, providing simple, intuitive ways to alter the sounds without leaving the interface. Similar to DAMAGE, three levels of effects are intrinsically bound to the Melodic and Rhythmic Components — apply effects globally, engage the Advanced Trigger-FX, or tweak individual sounds.
Instrument Details
The sound of AEON comes from a combination of deeply sampled Organic Instruments, Racks of Analog Modular Synths and Fx, and an advance arsenal of FX all housed in the Kontakt 5 Player Engine. Loops are presented as both menu-style suites and single loops with ‘MIDI Drag and Drop’ capability. Create instant melodic grooves by layering individual loops from the menus, or recompose a loop by re-arranging the slices using the single loops.
Perform
AEON Rhythmic offers 315 carefully sculpted melodic loops arranged into 3 main categories: Menu Suites, Single Loops, and Three Loop Combos for quick and easy melodic development. The Menu Suites provide 63 loops intelligently mapped across the keyboard, ranging from low to high timbres. You can easily change the tonal center by using the tuning keyswitches found at the bottom of the keyrange. The Single Loop presets provide detailed control over individual loops. Tweak the level, pan and tuning for each slice, or quickly import the midi data into your DAW with the simple “MIDI To Host” Sculpt your tone with per loop Tune, Pan, Level, and EQs or add sizzle and punch with the 4-band Master EQ.
Mutate
AEON Rhythmic’s all-new Loop Mutator™ allows you to re-compose and re-imagine 300 loops with spectacular results. You have full control over step amount, time signature, note subdivision (straight or triplet), individual note duration, Loop/Slice selection, and velocity. There are also controls for glide, octave randomizing, and playback type (chord, pairs, etc). Eight fully customizable and linkable patterns per preset allow you to create complex melodic grooves and sequences (up to 128 steps) of full melodic loops (in Menu Suites). Or activate the Loop Mutator with a Single Loop preset to quickly re-compose or change the timing of any loop. Use any of AEON’s tonal loops as they are or turn on the Loop Mutator™ and create unique sequences that are completely your own.
Effect
Three levels of effects are intrinsically bound to the presets – apply effects globally, trigger performance effects, or tweak individual sounds. Master Effects control distortion, reverb, delay, and modulation. The Advanced Trigger FX (pictured here) are switchable real-time effects with incredible scope for intuitive, creative sound-tweaking. Control the attack and decay of each triggered effect, or turn on the sequence, and modulate the effect in time. The Punish and Twist knobs preside over everything, adding signature drive and character.
KONTAKT version 5.5.1 and above is required.

Concert percussion is abundant in film scores, trailers, and commercials. As a composer, it’s always a good idea to have many tools at your disposal.
Great-sounding percussion instrument libraries are often challenging to find. Look no further as I’ll be sharing five of the best xylophone VST plugins to use in your compositions.
Note: the issue with many percussion instrument plugins is they usually come packed in a larger library (for example, an orchestral percussion library). You may not be able to find a standalone xylophone VST outside of the free option I’ve listed below.
Table of Contents
1) Vital Series: Mallets – Paid
Vital Series: Mallets from Big Fish Audio is not exclusive to the xylophone; instead, it covers a range of many different mallet instruments.
‘Vital Series: Mallets’ includes eight instruments in one patch. The GUI of Mallets allows for each pitched percussion instrument to be edited, played, blended, and recorded together.
All eight instruments included are:
Marimba
Xylophone
Glockenspiel
Tubular Bells (Chimes)
Glass Marimba
Song Bells
Vibraphone
Crotales
The samples themselves sound incredible; the level of detail is excellent for commercial film and TV productions. The recordings offer dry, stereo samples with four velocity layers and five round robins per instrument.
Each instrument comes with multiple mallet types, giving you more flexibility for quiet and louder sections of a piece.
Mallet types included are as follows:
Soft
Medium Soft
Medium Hard
Hard
Rods
Bow
We all know that rolls and drags typically give us an issue when sampling drums. Similar to bartender software for mac. Mallet rolls are made easy with the Rolls creator, and they sound quite realistic.
Dev c++ input text file. The major con of the library is the lack of multiple microphone positions. However, the samples sound excellent, and the instrument is worth a listen.
Vital Series: Mallets is available at Plugin Boutique.
2) Impact Soundworks Rhapsody Orchestral Colors and Percussion – Paid
Rhapsody Orchestral Colors and Percussion is a library made for the full version of KONTAKT. It boasts a collection of 50 traditional and extended instruments. The library has three separate microphone positions, giving more options with your production.
The samples aren’t overly hyped, like many “movie trailer” libraries.
Take a listen to some of the clips below:
The xylophone samples included sound great, which are heard in the clip “Attack of the Blue Monster” near the end.
3) Heavyocity AEON – Paid
While not necessarily a pitched-percussion library, AEON does contain many impressive-sounding samples, including those of the xylophone.
I am a massive fan of Heavyocity: I think they make some of the best virtual instruments for composers to date. Dope vst torrent download.
AEON covers synths, ethnic, orchestral, cinematic, sound design, and rhythm all in one.
Heavyocity AEON is available from Plugin Boutique.
4) eXylo from VST4Free – Free
We have arrived at a free plugin! The eXylo is a great xylophone VST that won’t cost a penny.
eXylo is a sampled xylophone that has 88 stereo samples from the University of Iowa Electronic Music Studios public domain library.

The UI isn’t the most impressive looking, but if you’re looking for a free alternative to paid VSTs, look no further.

eXylo works for Windows in both 32-bit and 64-bit VST. Mac users need to use the Audio Unit download.

5) East-West Composer Cloud
My subscription to Composer Cloud from East-West has lasted for more than two years. That should say something about the samples included.
With East-West CC, you gain access to 40,000+ instruments for $19.99 a month. You can’t beat the value.
The percussion libraries are fantastic-sounding and are very useful for commercial and TV productions.
The only downside I’ve found is, again, the lack of different microphone positions. They are available, just not in the Composer Cloud plan. You have to purchase each library outright to gain access to different microphone positions.

Aside from that con, I love the libraries included with the plan, especially the pitched percussion.
What xylophone plugin do you use? Have you found a standalone one, or do you use one contained in a larger library? I’d love to hear from you down below in the comments. Thanks for reading once again.
