Cedar: Ponticello
The deal
$18.37 at Loot Audio (down from $30.61). Sale ends April 21, 2026.
What it is
Cedar: Ponticello is a percussion-oriented Kontakt instrument from Visionary Robots Industries, built from recordings of a luthier classical guitar played using the ponticello technique - near the bridge, producing a distinctive, reedy tonal character. It sits in a unique space between acoustic percussion and experimental texture, suitable for composing, producing, film scoring, and game audio. Requires Kontakt Full 5.6.5 or higher.
Who it's for
Composers and producers who need organic, unconventional percussion textures for cinematic, ambient, or experimental work. It fits naturally into film scores, game audio, and any production where standard sample libraries feel too clean or generic.
