Christoph Hart has released Volker, a free "funky melodica" sound library for Kontakt.

Here's what Hart has to say about Volker:

A lot of brain work and programming effort was put into this instrument. Although you can download the files for free, consider it as tradware: if you find yourself enjoying this instrument, I would like you to fill out a short poll about the quality of the instrument and your music production method.

Volker Features:

• 60MB Sample data
• Recorded stereo in 44kHz/24bit, normalized and converted to 16bit for better performance
• Additional Noise Samples
• Optimized for usage with Yamaha Breath Controller.
• Recreation of instrument-specific playing techniques.
• AET Filter (3 layers) for dynamic expressibility.
• Customizable noise reproduction.
• Complex recreation of imperfect instrument behaviour.
• Custom flutter sound controllable via CC (puts the funk in the volker!).
• CC-Reconfiguration with “Learn”-button.
• Manipulate the recording distance via one knob.
• Easy to use GUI with exquisitely selected parameters.

Pricing and Availability

Volker is available now as a free download for Kontakt 4.
