Marimba Renaissance


Marimba Renaissance is a virtual instrument based on a damaged marimba recording that has been restored. A combination of audio engineering techniques has been used to make these marimba samples great: spectral repair, adaptative noise removal, manual retuning, and physical modeling. The result is a versatile instrument, rich in tone and easy to use.
