MINA Kalimba Piano VST & AU Plugin

A Kalimba And A Magical Piano

MINA is a deeply sampled kalimba that can be transformed into a magical piano with the turn of a knob.

Pianofy The Kalimba

The Pianofy knob turns MINA from a pure kalimba into an imaginary piano or celeste-like instrument. It reduces the natural ringing of the notes and brings in celeste and dulcitone layers, creating a fuller, warmer and more piano-like sound. At higher settings, release samples become part of the sound, emulating the mechanical noises of a keyboard action.

Two Articulations, 30 Round Robins

The kalimba was recorded with two articulations: a harder one played with the thumb, with 30 round robins, and a softer one played with a felt pick, with 20 round robins. The Softness knob blends between the two, while Bloom controls the attack and Reverse adds reversed samples.

With A Little Mischief

Mischief changes the starting points of the samples, introducing small differences in timing between the two articulations. Space adds reverb, with seven different types to choose from.

MINA offers a 58-key range.
