Indie Melodica is a Kontakt Player library we originally sent out as a holiday gift for all Orange Tree Samples customers, and now we’re making it publicly available, free of charge. As long as there are serial numbers left (there are 4,330 at the time of writing this), you can get a copy here. The library licenses the free Kontakt Player, so you don’t need to own the full version of Kontakt to use it.

Indie Melodica includes two mic options to select between for different tonal colorations, and was recorded in a dry booth. That way you have more flexibility when it comes to adding reverb or room simulation to blend better with other instruments.

The instrument features our proprietary phase locking technology, allowing you to smoothly morph between dynamics without encountering any phase cancellation. Being able to morph between dynamics means you can control how each note and phrase is articulated in real-time, rather than having to use keyswitches to select pre-recorded articulations for crescendos, accented notes, etc. All the samples are seamlessly looped, so you don’t need to worry about a note unexpectedly ending during its sustain.

Furthermore, the library’s interface contains several parameters to dial in how the instrument responds. For example, you can adjust how much velocity affects the speed at which notes are attacked, or even control to what degree playing multiple notes thins out the instrument’s overall dynamic, a characteristic that happens on a real melodica.



To get the library, head over to its page on our website to add it to your cart. Although the website will have you go through the checkout process, you won’t need to enter any payment information. You’ll instantly receive the serial number afterward, and the download for the library will get added to your account on our website.

Once all the serial numbers have been claimed, Indie Melodica will no longer be available on the website, so don’t miss out on this chance to pick up a copy!

Much obliged!
 
For the first time since using a version other than V1, I had a flawless registration experience! As such, I am now expecting the time between upgrading to K14 at the end of the month to actually being able to use it, to roughly correspond to the time until universal heat death.
 
Already have it, just wanted to say I quite like it.

Does this mean you plan to release Mainstream Melodica? Also, have you thought about sampling period instruments, for example theorbo?
 
Got it, thank you so much! Lovely of you folks to offer this. I won't lie, I'm mainly gonna use this to try to channel my late, great mentor(ish), Bernard Wright, kinda like...

 
How about an ocarina next so I can finally finish my "Wild Thing" mockup? ;)
That'd make a cool freebie! Especially with the samples using our phase locking tech like with the melodica, so that you can morph between dynamics smoothly. It could probably use the same scripting as the melodica, though with an added poly/legato switch and have some options for automated vibrato.
