Deep Sampled Tonal Percussion
The 8Dio Marimba is a featured Instrument from our Studio Percussion Series and uses our proprietary, advanced ‘Groove Sampling™’ technique, that allows you to create hyper-realistic percussive grooves with a single touch of a key.
Unlike the Xylophone, the Marimba produces soft tones when played with different mallets. The most common mallet used is yarn, which provides the familiar warm tone of the marimba.
The 8Dio Marimba contains 12 unique articulations and 3 microphone positions (Close, Mid & Far), all easily accessible from our front-facing browser. The Marimba was meticulously recorded with six different playing styles, including two different mallets, brushes, bowed, and two separate rolls.
The Marimba is included in our Studio Orchestral Percussion library, which contains 6 deep-sampled percussion instruments: Marimba, Vibraphone, Xylophone, Glockenspiel, Crotales, and Tubular Bells. It has always been our mantra to push sampling forward regarding realism and playability.

Internal Browser and Textural Convolution
We recorded the Marimba with two different mallets: a soft/felt mallet and a harder mallet, bringing our very different timbres of the instruments. We also recorded the marimba with brushes and even bowed it, so you can create unique sounds, great for musical sound design.
