What it is
David Oliver’s Shake is a deeply sampled shaker, tambourine, rattle, and bell library for Kontakt, built from the live performances of British percussionist and media composer David Oliver. It packs 95 world percussion instruments spanning African, Latin American, Indian, and other global traditions, sliced into hundreds of seamless two-bar loops covering five time signatures and tempos from 80 to 280 BPM.
Who it’s for
Film, game, and media composers who need authentic, organic percussion textures, plus producers working in world music, hybrid orchestral, or ambient styles who want real performed grooves rather than programmed one-shots.
Key features
- A searchable loop browser lets you filter by tag, meter, or tempo and save favorites for quick recall
- Four independently shapeable sound layers and a modular FX rack with 18 effects let you push the percussion into organic pads and alien soundscapes
- A built-in arpeggiator with Key/Scale Lock and 35 atmospheric Ambience patches add melodic and textural options beyond straight loop playback
- It runs in the free Kontakt Player or full Kontakt and is NKS-compatible with Komplete Kontrol and S-Series keyboards
