Make music with a train set, music box and collection of toy xylophones.
Native Instruments is giving away a pack of sound samples for Christmas “based on the timeless sounds of vintage children’s toys.”
Kinetic Treats features three instruments: an electric train set, a music box and “Xylo Polyphones,” which includes harmonicas, xylophones and metallophones like the Fisher Price instruments everyone had as a child.
The train set includes railroad crossing bells alongside the train sounds themselves, while the music box also doubles up as a toy turntable.
The pack needs NI’s Kontakt instrument to use, but that’s also free. Kinetic Treats is free until January 4, and NI is also giving away a free €25 voucher for use in its store – full details here.
