Tonehammer [Kontact] Didgeridoo

Tonehammer has announced the release of a new Kontakt-based instrument, Didgeridoo.

The Didgeridoo (aka Didge) is an Australian Aboriginal wind instrument dating back over approx.1500–2000 years. The instrument is made from Eucalyptus blogs hollowed out by termites and is widely regarded as one of the oldest woodwind (aerophone) instruments in existence. Tonehammer recorded two different Didges. The first one is an original Eucalyptus log and the second one is a modern version made from PVC pipes.

The library contains 400MB of samples and the programs contain modwheel controlled timestretching and sample offset options, designed to allow users to get more flexibility out of the samples. The Didges come at two different mic (close/medium) distances and a far mic for the dual-didge FX group. Didge 1 is close mic and Didge 2 is medium mic.
