Split Finger is a Kontakt percussion library made for composers, producers, beatmakers and film and game scorers who want authentic hand percussion in their DAW. It covers world percussion across Persian, Turkish, Arabic and Middle Eastern styles, plus djembe, cajon and riq grooves, in one ensemble. Over 2000 samples edited by myself. Most percussion libraries give you loops or single hits. Split Finger is built around expressive playing, so your parts keep the feel of a real hand drummer. You can hear the difference between expressive and robotic loops in the video. THE INSTRUMENTS • Darbuka (doumbek), in several types of body and skin, including calf skin and fish skin • Djembe, large and small • Persian daf • Cajon • Riq and tambourine • Shakers and jingles KEY FEATURES • Consistent MIDI key mapping across every instrument, from C1 (Dum) to C2 (3), so you learn one layout and play them all • Drum maps, so your existing MIDI patterns load straight onto the instruments • Impulse responses for the room and drum character: calf-skin darbuka, fish-skin darbuka, large djembe, Persian daf, cajon, riq and small djembe • Presets and grooves for a fast starting point • Drag-and-drop workflow, from groove to timeline WHO IT'S FOR • Film, TV and game composers who need Middle Eastern percussion, world percussion and ethnic drums • Producers and beatmakers who want realistic darbuka, riq, daf and djembe in Kontakt • Anyone who wants to humanise percussion MIDI without recording a percussionist/drummer WHY IT SOUNDS REAL Programmed percussion sounds robotic when every hit is the same strength and sits exactly on the grid. Split Finger gives you instruments recorded and mapped for dynamic, varied playing, so velocity and timing changes sound natural.
