8Dio Mini Instrument for Kontakt VST-AU-AAX Samples

8DIO “Mini” is the most comprehensive sample library ever done of ultra tiny object sounds. It contains over 5.000 samples of anything from buttons to rolling toys, wooden twigs to eating chips, boiling frying pans to human hoses, nail files to pocket watches, sand-drums to styro-foam, teeth clacks to water bubbles and so much more. The concept may seem strange at first, but these sounds have remarkable value in terms of composition and music.

This library is specially designed to provide a huge wealth of playable source material and inspiration for contemporary scoring, experimental, IDM, industrial and electronic music, as well as professional sound design. We captured an amazing array of different objects and soundsources in a wide range of environments, both exotic and mundane. Our goal was to not only further re-define what can qualify an instrument, but also just how playable we could possibly make each and every one of them.

Mini is ready to go out of the box, yet deep and varied enough to provid limitless creative and production potential.
