Unconventional Playable Percussions for the Modern Composer

THE EarthBEAT Series distinguishes itself through its deep exploration of unconventional playing techniques and unorthodox instrumentation. Instruments within these libraries are not merely sampled; they are reimagined.

Traditional ethnic percussion instruments are subjected to experimental approaches, coaxing out entirely new sonic palettes through the use of non-traditional beaters, sticks, rods, brushes, and even implements not originally intended for musical use. This focus on unorthodox playing methods—striking, scraping, rubbing, and more—unlocks hidden timbral complexities and textures, pushing the boundaries of what these instruments are capable of and offering composers a truly unique sonic signature.

As part of THE OmniBEATS COLLECTION, Earthbeat series bundle explores the diverse rhythmic traditions of global percussion, from rare African drums to Asian instruments and Western marching percussion, all played with unique techniques.

This bundle includes EarthBEAT Africa, EarthBEAT Asia, EarthBEAT West. Each library boasts an innovative three-layers engine plus independent sequencers, extensive articulations, and preset randomization, individual effects modules per layer, 3d stage positioning with ambience simulation, empowering you to create dynamic rhythmic soundscapes with unparalleled ease and inspiring new sonic territories with a single click.
