The 8Dio Marimba is a featured Instrument from our Studio Percussion Series now available as a standalone library. Marimbas are known for there rich, warm, balanced tone. Unlike the Xylophone the Marimba produces soft tones when played with different mallets. The most common mallet used is yarn. This provides the familiar warm tone of the marimba, compared to the xylophone, which sounds much brighter as it uses acrylic mallets.
The 8Dio Marimba contains 12 unique articulations and 3 microphone positions (Close, Mid & Far) all easy-accessed from our front-facing browser. The Marimba was meticulously recorded with six different playing styles, including two different mallets, brushes, bowed, and two separate rolls.
Note: This library is also included within the Studio Orchestral Percussion
