The deal

$31.87 at Loot Audio (down from $39.83). Sale ends July 11, 2026.

What it is

Sardonyx is a cinematic Kontakt instrument library from composer Evan Braddock, built around meticulously sampled acoustic and analog sources. The library stretches from beautiful dreamy beds to experimental aggressive tones, covering a wide palette of moods and textures. At 5.31 GB, it draws on instruments like upright piano, acoustic guitar, sitar, balalaika, tongue drum, didgeridoo, and Mini Moog, plus found sounds like radiator hum, water dripping, and bowed metal.

Who it's for

Sound designers, film and game composers, and ambient producers who need distinctive, ready-to-use textural material that sits outside the typical sample library palette.
