Sample Logic has released The Elements, a new Kontakt Player 2-based sample library that provides the "6 Elements of music":

1. Ambience (456 patches)
2. Bass (122 patches)
3. Harmony (138 patches)
4. Impacts (391 patches)
5. Melody (354 patches)
6. Rhythm (227 patches)

The Elements is a collection that aims to transform your work, pushing the envelope beyond today's standard of music and sound design. Since the instruments are broken up into 6 intuitive elements, you won't waste any time browsing through unneeded sounds. These instruments were crafted to excite, inspire, and electrify.

"The library is packed with deadly, ear scraping ambiance to serene melodic choirs; glitched out distorted beats to funky harmonic guitar licks; woofed out basses to spine bending transitional impacts; traditional brass ensembles to psychedelic spirals of exotic colors. And with a bunch of extra sounds made from unicorns, hobbits, and dragons, this library is sure to be fun for the whole family."

The Elements is a 14 GB / 4 DVD library containing over 1700 instruments, tempo-synced loops, and multis with an MSRP of $299. It is available for Mac OS X and Windows in Audio Unit, VST, DXi, RTAS and stand-alone formats via the included Kontakt Player 2. The library can also be loaded and customized in the full version of Kontakt 2.
