Vibes exude attitude, style, and character—few instruments glide between genres with such effortless grace. From Disney-esque fairytale scoring to jazz, lounge or pop and anything in between, this is an extremely versatile instrument in the hands of a capable player. Turn on the motor and experience a whole new sonic universe, a mysterious and liquid modulation in between vibrato and tremolo.

Traditional vibraphone samples often suffer from phase issues when simulating the motorized tremolo, leading to a less convincing experience. Thanks to the scripting features in Native Instruments Kontakt, notes stay perfectly phase-locked: you can even adjust motor speed in real time right from your MIDI controller!

With Deep Vibes, you can enjoy more than 30 instruments that range from standard articulations with and without pedal, motor on/off to non standard techniques like secco and hits with the sticks, to several bowed variations and extended techniques. Standard articulations feature four velocity layers and left/right hand round robins for ultra-realistic performance.
