Klimpa
A glockenspiel-like sampling of a form of kalimba

The story
The origin of Klimpa is a kalimba – a small musical instrument, rudimentary and archaic, that never fails to captivate me. From the few notes that can be played with it, I have designed an instrument that has a glockenspiel-like touch with a very long sustain and a quiet, subliminal pulsation within it. This makes it suitable both for light, percussive figures and for longer, fading pads.

Needs Verb control
I agree with everyone that this sound is really twinkly and beautiful but the fact that we cant turn off the reverb really limits its usability. For certain instances this frozen reverb sound could work perfectly but sometimes if you're playing alot of notes you dont want it to get too messy. Still this instrument is really unique and fun. It sounds especially awesome and twinkly if you use delay while strumming chords. This could be a really nice tool for adding ambience and interest to a piece

I really enjoy the sparkle of this. It shines through and has a realy twinkly quality. With the reverb a single note just hangs around very pleasingly.
A very good ship....
...awash on an ocean of reverb. If this pack had a reverb control, I'd buy you lunch. Sounds absolutely lovely, but the reverb sort of paints me into a corner I'm using the DS version - perhaps the other versions allow some tweaking of the reverb?. I am very fond of my own reverbs. All that said, the demos really work. So the problem is me. Thanks for sharing!
