• Natively programmed for Kontakt 2 & 3 as well as the Apple EXS24.

Harmonica [Free]
Bolder Sounds has also released Harmonica, a sample library featuring the sounds of a Marine Band harmonica (in the key of A) by the Hohner Company. The samples are 24-bit mono with no loops for a natural sound and total 31 megabytes. Bolder Sounds originally recorded these samples in stereo but decided to sum them to mono for the final version.
