Augmented MALLETS

Acoustic instruments reinvented

Augmented MALLETS unites the percussive and harmonic charm of the marimba, vibraphone, celeste and tubular bells with cutting-edge synthesis - giving composers, producers and keyboardists immediate access to a diverse range of authentic, hybrid, and contemporary mallet sounds.

Hybrid mallets for the modern age

Combining meticulously recorded acoustic sounds with state-of-the-art synthesis, elevate any project with evolving strikes, percussive tones and ethereal mallet melodies.

Enhanced mallet sounds

Shape and transform Marimba, Vibraphone, Celeste, and Tubular Bells into modern, expressive textures - this is no ordinary mallet library.

Instant inspiration

Discover over 200 finely crafted presets designed to compliment any project. Augmented MALLETS perfectly balances percussive keys, chords, leads, pads and melodic sequences.

Expressive morphing control

Effortlessly transform your sound with powerful Morph and macro controls, dynamically moving between acoustic precision and synthesized abstraction in real-time.

Articulations

Unmatched Tonal Warmth, Rhythm, And Shimmer In Every Strike

Inject your tracks with fresh, organic tones that cut through any mix. From glassy melodic layers to punchy percussive hits, mallets offer a distinctive sonic signature perfect for adding harmonic phrasing and sophistication to your beats.

Classical Articulations

Traditional mallet performances including marimba, vibraphone, celeste, and tubular bells — ideal for adding expressive melodic accents.

Prepared Articulations

Unconventional techniques using bows, paper, rattles and alternative striking tools — delivering textured, percussive layers with unique tonal character.

Experimental & Processed

Mallet sounds reimagined through creative processing and sound design — from shimmering effects to heavily altered textures.

Capturing

Magic

To achieve exceptional mallet sounds, we recorded meticulously detailed samples in a state-of-the-art facility in the Netherlands, renowned for its acoustic profile.

The spacious 150 square meter hall featured premium microphones including Neumann M150 tubes and Schoeps MK-series, capturing both intimate close-miked and ambient room sounds to deliver rich, resonant, and lifelike mallet textures.
