About Sample Libraries

Creating and designing sample libraries is a passion project of mine. Essentially, these are instruments recorded one note at a time to transform them into a new playable instrument controlled by midi.

Composing these instruments require a lot of attention to detail. With the UI, I try to communicate what mood might these libraries evoke or how inspiration came to me.

Sample Libraries

Áferð — Synth

My first attempt at creating an instrument was sampling my Korg Minilogue. The UI was inspired by that synth's layout and decided to lean into it, giving it a proper homage.

That is the only sample library I created that got released on Pianobook to date.

Áferð — Toolkit

I wanted to explore a way to expand on the synth concept, to create an all-in-one instrument for an album of mine.

Åtte Noire

This sample library is a Kontakt instrument based on an 8-string guitar. The challenge was that I wanted a single-tab UI with lots of customisation and articulations.
