Early Bird is a percussion library about that feeling right before a hit lands. To me, shaken percussion isn’t just about the beats—it’s about the stuff that happens in between.
When you catch those sounds leading up to a hit, it gives everything so much more weight. So we use loops for those kinds of textures, but they’re pretty limiting because the performance is the performance.
So, I made Early Bird—a quick, easy way to add some gravity right before the beat hits.

Start by playing your parts in one-shot mode.
Then, switch to early mode, drag the MIDI back two beats, and you’ll hear those before-the-beat textures come to life.
It’s one extra step, but it makes a big difference in the energy.
There are 49 sounds total across four octaves that shake, swish, rattle, rustle, jingle and clack.
Many of the instruments have both a ‘back’ and a ‘forth’ sound which are different and are on adjacent keys.
