Hugh Tracey Treble Kalimba Samples
Another little freebie for you all. My wife bought me this sexy soft Hugh Tracey kalimba (aka African Thumb Piano) for my birthday a few months ago. It’s got a gorgeous tone.
So I’ve miced it up and multisampled it. My box was tuned to G, but I’ve spread the samples out over the natural range of the instrument so you get 2 full octaves. You can hear it in action on the track ‘Victory‘ at my MySpace page. Enjoy!
Thanks Spe3D and dusted william for the soundfont conversions.

Many thanks for the samples/soundfont. You really made my day!
Thanks,

Rory, thanks for making these. Any chance you could post these in Kontakt format of better yet just the plain wav files?
Hi James,
Plain WAV files can be found inside the Halion and MPC format downloads.

Ah yes, I see that now. Many thanks, the samples sound lovely.
James
Rory,
Are there any restrictions on using these in a commercial release? I’d like to add a bit of them to my album project currently in the final stages.
James
Hi James,
No restrictions on using them in your productions at all. Enjoy

beautifull sounds! Thankyou!
Rozzer, these Kalimba sounds are better than the kit that comes with the Native Instruments Maschine–and that’s not knocking NI, either. I’ve downloaded this kit multiple times since 2007-8. Amazing sound quality–thank you!
Thanks!
I have a kalimba but only on penta mode and I’m sure your recording is better than mine (I use a bluebird plugged on an edirol UA101, no preamp)
I’m looking at every page on this website, I really enjoy.
Much respect
