Shake

Shake is a deep and stylistically expansive sample library featuring 95 shakers, tambourines, rattles, and bells from around the globe. Created by British instrumentalist and media composer David Oliver, this library focuses on dynamic live percussion performances. It includes a variety of instruments made from natural materials like reeds, seed pods, gourds, vines, rattan, coconuts, nut shells, bamboo, wood, and metal. You'll also find unique instruments like the bamboo rainstick shaker, mung bean shaker, cocktail stick shaker, pad box multi-effect shaker, and multiple Caxixi combinations. With our intuitive multi-layered modular UI, you can mix, layer, affect, and customize each sound to your heart's content.

David recorded numerous live performed grooves, fills, flourishes, rolls, and individually sampled hits, featuring African, Latin American, Indian, and World instruments with authentic and spirited recordings. These samples are ideal for films, games, and any genre needing shaker.

This bundle includes highly recordable instruments selected for their sonic and dynamic usefulness. David recorded multiple takes, slicing extended performances into the best 2-bar seamless loops in time signatures of 3-4, 4-4, 5-4, 6-8, and 7-8, at intervals of 20bpm from 80bpm to 140bpm. It also includes whole sets of maraca patterns in 4-4 with tempos from 160bpm to 280bpm.

The built-in loop browser allows you to filter by style, instrument keywords, tempo, and time signature, and star favorite loops for instant recall. You can tweak each loop down to the individual transient slice, with playback direction, slice order, ADSR, and custom step automation sequencing for volume, pitch, pan, filter cutoff, and resonance parameters.
