Jazz Up Your Music with Tuned Percussion
Vir2 Vital Series Mallets gives you eight tuned percussion instruments — Marimba, Xylophone, Glockenspiel, Tubular Bells, Glass Marimba, Song Bells, Vibraphone, and Crotales — in one patch you can play, edit, and layer. The innovative interface puts all the control you need right at your fingertips, with no menus or patch banks to navigate. The instruments each feature their own control set consisting of Mallet Type (Soft, Medium Soft, Medium Hard, Hard, Rods, and Bow), Volume, Pan, Stereo Width, Octave Remapping, ADSR, and Extended Range, which remaps the instrument's playable range by stretching the lowest and highest mapped samples from C0 to C7. In addition, you have Octave remapping, which lets you adjust each instrument's position of your keyboard up or down by two octaves. Vir2 recorded the instruments with meticulous attention to detail, and provide you with dry stereo samples with up to four velocity layers and five round robins per instrument.

Creative modulation, rolls, and FX
Vital Series Mallets makes it quick and easy to modulate your sounds. The lower portion of its user-friendly GUI features a global lowpass filter as well as an LFO with your choice of four waveforms and four LFO types. Another great feature is the Rolls Creator, which lets you build and personalize your own mallet rolls. Triggering a single note can simulate two hands striking that note, while triggering two notes simulates back-and-forth striking with two hands on the respective notes. Put the finishing touches on your sound with seven built-in effects: Tune, Equalizer, Distortion, Compressor, Transient Master, Delay, and Reverb. Sweetwater's advice: the unique textures of tuned percussion can jazz up your productions regardless of genre. Vir2 Vital Series Mallets is the easy, affordable way to achieve that.
