Shake is an extensive collection of 95 shakers, tambourines, tambourines, rattles and bells from around the world. This deep and stylistically expansive sample library celebrates the dynamic live percussion performances of British instrumentalist and media composer David Oliver.

Shake has everything you need for your next composition, including tiny soft plastic and raw leather egg shakers, filled ping pong ball rattles, raw leather, plastic and wooden maracas, small to medium sized instruments, made from natural materials such as reeds, bolls, pumpkins, vines, rattan, coconuts, nut shells, bamboo, wood and metal. There are also many unique tools created or improvised by David, such as a bamboo rain stick shaker, a mung bean shaker, a cocktail stick shaker and a multi-effect shaker with stand (a flat wooden box with ball bearings) and several Caxixi combinations. With our intuitive, layered, modular user interface, you’ll have complete freedom to mix, layer, influence, and customize every sound to your liking.

David recorded a lot of grooves, fills, colors, rolls and individual samples of hits performed live. Shake features African, Latin American, Indian and other ethnic instruments with powerful, authentic and energetic recordings that are carefully handcrafted for easy use in movies, games and any genre of music that requires a shaker.

David has carefully selected this set of recording-ready instruments from among the most sonically and dynamically useful shakers in his extensive collection. He recorded them all several times, cutting the extended performances into the best two-bar seamless loops with time signatures of 3-4, 4-4, 5-4, 6-8 and 7-8, at 20 bpm intervals, from 80 to 140 beats per minute and whole sets of 4-4 maracas patterns with a tempo of 160 to 280 beats per minute.

The built-in loop browser lets you filter your search by instrument style and keywords, tempo and time signature, and you can even mark your favorite loops for quick recall. Once you load your loops into the slot grid, you can set each loop to a separate transition slice with playback direction, slice order, ADSR, and a custom sequence of automation steps for volume, pitch, pan, filter cutoff, and resonance parameters that you You can freely draw with your mouse.
