Nightfox Audio Plucks and Mallets Standard

Unlock a world of sonic exploration with Nightfox Audio Plucks and Mallets—the virtual instrument that seamlessly blends 11 meticulously sampled acoustic sources into one endlessly versatile creative palette. From the rich resonance of an 8' concert pedal harp to the crisp attack of a steel tongue drum. You'll discover an array of acoustic instruments at your fingertips, each sampled with exacting detail to capture their nuanced character and authentic tone.

Forge New Hybrid Voices

With Plucks and Mallets, you're no longer confined to the conventional sounds of any single instrument. Combine and crossfade between the sampled sources—electric guitar, cello, glockenspiel, chimes and more—to sculpt entirely new hybrid voices that defy traditional categorization. The onboard mixing faders offer precise control over each instrument's level, allowing you to find the perfect balance that speaks to your artistic vision.

Expand Your Rhythmic Horizons

The powerful arpeggiator is your gateway to rhythmic expressions that transcend the limitations of your own technique. Dial in intricate patterns with adjustable step numbers, rates, octave ranges and swing amounts or explore uncharted territory with the random mode. Six arp patterns, including up, down, up-down and chord modes, enable you to craft anything from pulsing grooves to cascading melodic sequences—all while retaining the organic feel of the original samples.

Shape Your Sound

With Plucks and Mallets, the art of tone sculpting knows no bounds. A fully customizable filter with 10 types and adjustable resonance allows you to precisely contour the spectral character, while three LFOs (Gain, Pitch and Filter) introduce rhythmic modulation with six waveform shapes. Dial in the perfect articulation with the AHDSR envelope controls, then explore a wealth of effects—from vintage-inspired drive to lush reverbs—to imbue your sounds with unparalleled depth and movement.
