Boxed Ear releases "Mighty M5" Kontakt sample pack + free CR-78 samples

Boxed Ear has announced the release of Mighty M5, a new library for Kontakt 4 and 5 made entirely with the Macbeth M5 semi-modular analog synthesizer.

The Macbeth M5 is a monophonic, three oscillator, two filter, semi-modular analogue synthesizer, crafted by master Scottish synth wizard, Ken Macbeth. These synths were made to order and are now discontinued.

The M5's sound is characterised by its full, rich bass, crystal highs and a distinctly analog tone. Huge basses and leads, luscious pads, electric pianos, drums, one-shot effects, and crazy modular bleeps and bloops are all included. The pack has been endorsed by the synth's creator, Ken Macbeth.

Details:

• 1.5Gb soundset.
• Over 4300 samples at 24-bit, 44.1 kHz quality.
• Over 100 Kontakt instruments.

Mighty M5 costs $49, €39 or £30 inc. VAT and is available now from the Boxed Ear website. The Full version of Kontakt 4 or 5 is required. Mighty M5 does NOT work with the free Kontakt Player.
