Stone — Kontakt Player



A collection of 16 instruments grouped together by texture and timbre, lovingly recorded and processed to eke out unique qualities. Aimed at film, media and theater composers, the tool-sets featured in Stone are immediate to use and experiment with


The 4 layered banks in Stone are akin to a composer toolkit that is immediate to use and adapt. Sculpting the sound with the built in effects processing allows you to add character or create something more experimental. Above is a video playlist of examples from composer Derek Kirkup


“From ambient soundscapes to snarling rhythmical loops, Stone will certainly add flair and character to your underscore. I certainly do recommend both Stone and Glass and I am really looking forward to what Murst Instruments creates next” – Sample Library Review
