As obvious in soundtracks and classical arrangements as in anything
from pop and rock to hip-hip and all thinkable offshoots of electronic
dance music, the marimba and the xylophone are the uncontested
big two in the family of wooden melodic percussive instruments. The
dark, rich, full, earthy and plucky sound of the marimba is as ideal for
arpeggios and leads in an EDM track as it is for a dramatic segue in
a film or a accentuations in spoofs and comedies. Equally, the more
accentuated, bright and dry tone of the xylophone is an amazing and
piercingly effective melodic voice in any context it’s used.
Recorded to cater to anything from full-scale classical compositions to
any general songwriting needs, both instruments were captured at the
famed 330 square meter main hall at Galaxy Studios using an array
of different microphones. In addition to a generous selection of close
mics positioned to pick up the immediate attack and body of each
instrument, several mics were positioned around them for complete
surround sound compatibility in up to 5.0 systems.

In addition, the marimba was also recorded in the smaller Studio 1
room to offer en even more intimate take on the same instrument.
Aside from the instruments, this EKX also includes a basic library of
MIDI unique to the product as well as a broad collection of presets
showcasing the sounds and microphone options in anything from the
scaled-down to the monumentally big.
Be it for classical, acoustic or electronic – if you’re looking for the
quintessential melodic percussion instruments that can be seamlessly
applied in virtually any musical narrative, this EKX is for you.
