The Music Box offers the sound of an incredibly nuanced and organic sounding music box instrument.
16 music boxes were recorded in the high highest quality and detail using ribbon mics with every subtle detail including cranks, creeks, scratchs, buzzes, tings and scrapes.
The library has a minimum of 8 velocity layers per note and is one of the most realistic music box sample libraries you will ever hear – this is the ultimate instrument for creepy horror music!
Please note: FULL retail version of Kontakt 5.3 or later is required. NOT for Kontakt Player.
$25.00
We took 16 different music boxes and meticulously recorded each one note by note to create a highly expressive music box instrument with all the nuances and intricacy of the real thing. In an effort to make an instrument of the highest quality & detail, we made sure to include every subtly possible. Each crank, creek, scratch, buzz, ting and scrape was left in and the result is something quite organic and simply inspiring to play.
The entire library was recorded using Ribbon Microphones at 24 bit 48khz. There is a minimum of 8 velocity layers per note. Due to the nature of the music box and the general range of such devices we ended up with quite a few velocity layers for some pitches (40+). Instead of using round robins we decided to use many velocity layers so that a performance could easily be altered but not be random.
The Music Box is an intuitive instrument that is sure to stimulate creative ideas. It is capable of childlike nursery rhymes, eerie melodies, enchanting passages and much more. The Kontakt version of The Music Box not only contains the basic instrument patch but also 10 highly useful factory patches derived from our samples. These patches range from pads and electric piano-like sounds to extra terrestrial sound fx. The Kontakt version will only work in the full version of Kontakt 5.3+ and higher. It will also work in Kontakt player in demo mode which lasts 30 minutes.

One of the only music box VSTs that sounds like the real thing. So many companies try to make a “perfect” sounding music box but they miss the fact that the identity of a music box is in the wear and tear of generations, the creaking metal. Those things don’t make the music box “scary” (although they can I guess), they make it authentic. Kudos to this team for capturing a useful and authentic sound.

Very nice product. Got this as a give away. Great for atmospheric sound design especially when combined with a good reverb. Extra credit to the quick and helpful customer support at pulse audio!

I have a children’s song which, in true toddler, fashion, cries out for a music box. I believe this plug-in will suit it quite well. Brings back memories of a tour of a music box museum, where each piece was a work of art and itself, capable of playing many tunes via discs or cylinders.

Hello!
I really like quality tools and am very grateful for the work done regarding free tools. But, I had to refuse to install the tool, due to the installation of additional software for activation. Many users have very limited space on the installation disk and it would be much more convenient if during installation, users could choose their own paths / disk. Thank you!

I’ve really only begin to dig into this because I purchased it on a same and don’t need it for my current project. What i heard, I liked. The recording quality is top notch. I did notice, if you strike the same note before the previous strike rings out, it does not cut off as a real music box would. Overall, I am very happy with this.

Best Pulse. Your service is great. The free goodies are super. But this plugin is not for me. There are a lot of vsts that have the same sounds. But im stil realy thankfull that you gave me the oppertunity to try this.
Thank you

While I’m happy with the libraries I purchased, I’m extremely disappointed by the lack of customer support from Pulse. I was surprised to find said libraries can’t be added as actual “libraries” inside Kontakt (full version), and I filled out a support form on their website and emailed separately to see if there was a solution.
I’m still waiting for a reply 🙁
