Kontakt instruments for scoring
Secret Samples is two composers who kept hitting the same wall: the scene needed a sound that no library had. So we started recording them ourselves – small, specific instruments for the moment a scene turns.
Built to make it into your template.
“Secret Samples offers some intriguing additions with interesting concepts for horror audio projects. I look forward to seeing and hearing more from them in the future!”
Every decision we make points the same way: fewer samples, chosen better. Here is what that buys you.
01Scope
You should not pay for a 45 GB library when a cue needs a handful of specific samples. Each instrument covers one idea properly and costs what one idea is worth.
02Workflow
Samples are recorded as dry as possible so they sit in your own bussing. Effects come from Kontakt's built-in library, and every one of them can be switched off.
03Licence
Most libraries require you to mask their samples under other instruments. Ours can run naked as a bumper or a stinger – a sample used alone simply cannot be registered with a PRO or Content ID.
Solo use allowed
The core
Most libraries are bought once and opened twice. We would rather build the one instrument that stays loaded in your scoring template – because when the scene calls for it, nothing else does the job.
Easy to use
Two sliders for expression, four knobs for the envelope, three for reverb, compression and drive. No hidden pages and no manual needed before the first note. The manual is in the download anyway.
The full version of Kontakt 6.7.0 or later, from Native Instruments. The free Kontakt Player is not supported. Kontakt is purchased separately.
Yes. Install on every machine you work on – a workstation, a mobile rig, or four workstations. The licence covers your own environment.
You can use a sample on its own, unmasked – as a transition in a game score or a stinger in production music. One restriction applies: a sample used alone cannot be registered with a PRO or with Content ID, so a three-second stinger used by itself is not something you can claim.
Yes. Everything is recorded as dry as possible, and the effects chain can be switched off entirely. The raw WAV files sit in the library folder.
A download link is sent to your email address immediately after payment. The link stays valid, so you can download again after a reinstall.
Two composers who kept running into the same gap in their own templates. The instruments started as tools for our own scoring work before they became products.
Built for the moment a scene turns. Listen to what they do before you decide.
