I created this sampler of a traditional Mbira acoustic instrument, starting with multiple layers of recorded samples of the instrument.  Every note recorded in varying intensities, finger mutes recorded separately, and even the Mbira placed on a djembe drum for resonance option.

Many Effects can be applied from the custom interface, such as seperate feedbacks, delays, phasers, and LFOs.

The Instrument was created using Kontakt.

Here are some sound Samples
