EAR CANDY KONTAKT INSTRUMENT

The EAR CANDY Kontakt Instrument is a dynamic virtual percussion kit featuring nearly limitless functionality. Crafted with real, live claps, stomps, snaps and more, and recorded and mixed on vintage analog gear, EAR CANDY offers the versatility you need to ground a songwriting session or take a track to the next level.

The EAR CANDY Kontakt Instrument was expertly designed and programmed to put our library of vibrant percussive sounds into a completely customizable package. Featuring 18 unique multi-sampled percussion sounds with three characters (Dry, Dirty, and Tape), 7 factory presets, an impulse response-based multi-position space emulation system, and 8 customizable spaces for atmospheric sounds, this Kontakt instrument was created for musicians, by musicians.

We included 3 mix variations so you can decide your vibe:

DRY: Our cleanest mix, recorded and mixed down with minimal processing so you can shape the sound.

DIRTY: This mix has some drive texture. We mixed it through a chain of analog distortion gear. 

TAPE: This mix was run through our 1/4" tape machine. It sounds slightly warmer and bigger and offers a subtle but distinct variation.
