Hoard Mandolin is a versatile and dynamic legato mandolin library designed for Kontakt. Performed by renowned session player and producer Jason Hoard, our goal was to develop a comprehensive mandolin library capable of delivering virtuosic performances as well as heartfelt simplicity.

Hoard Picked Acoustic is a versatile and agile legato guitar library meticulously crafted for Kontakt. Like our Hoard Mandolin library, our goal was to create an instrument capable of handling a wide range of guitar melodies seamlessly, eliminating the necessity for keyswitching.

Jazz has always been a passion of ours. Therefore, after "Simple Jazz - Bass" and "Scoring Piano", we naturally desired to sample the missing instrument of the classical jazz trio: the Drums.

The Upright is plucked legato upright bass library for Kontakt. We’d been talking about doing this one for a while, but we weren’t sure it’d properly benefit from the sampling techniques we employed for our legato guitar libraries. Thankfully, we were proven wrong and the end result exceeded our expectations.
