hi guys . Can anybody advise please. I use a variety of Kontakt libs and there’s a specific sound im looking for. The link is to a song where at 1.58 seconds there’s a kind of tuned percussion, marimba sound . Can anyone suggest a lib that would reproduce the same soind.
Thanks in advance
At 1:58 that seems to be nothing more than a synth producing a simple pad and wind sound. You could possibly emulate such things with any of the more "atmospheric" libraries like Ashlight, Deep Matter, Lores, Lunaris, etc.
A few seconds on Google:
"The track heavily features the Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 synthesizer (played by David Sylvian and Richard Barbieri) to create the signature pluck chords and atmospheric sounds"
Oberheim OB-X and a Roland System 700 also get mentioned.

There is Marimba sounds in FM8 that you could possibly like (?)(e.g. Marimba and Wet Marimba) and apparently there is a Demo if you do not have FM8, there is also a Marimba in the Kontakt Factory Library. Also there is a Marimba in e.g. Hybrid Keys and also in the SYMPHONY SERIES – PERCUSSION (demo track 2) , and perhaps it is a bit too much just to get a Marimba sound.
