The Sound of the Unheard
Black Lotus fuses authentic African instruments with a vibrant, cutting-edge Kontakt engine to deliver genre-defying sounds that push modern music into uncharted territory. From urban pop to cinematic thunder, this toolkit empowers producers and composers to create with fearless originality.
Built for those who thrive on experimentation, it offers boundless versatility for today’s dynamic production landscape — a toolkit designed not just to make music, but to reinvent it.
Inspiration
Inspired by the boundary-breaking work of Cristobal Tapia de Veer and his score for White Lotus, we began with a simple but radical idea: take traditional, authentic instruments and process them through modern production techniques to create something truly unheard — a sound both ancient and futuristic.
Rooted in South Africa’s vast tapestry of musical traditions and blended cultures, Black Lotus captures that diversity and reimagines it through a refined, production-ready interface. The result: a revolutionary toolkit for those searching for something different, raw, and alive.
The Instruments
Eight handcrafted instruments form the beating heart of Black Lotus — each captured in meticulous detail and transformed for modern composition.
Dundun, Frame Drums, Sticks, Reed Shaker, Reed Pipe, Bamboo Pipes, Bow, and a unique Bass Marimba — every sound designed to surprise, inspire, and transcend genre.
Grooves
The Dundun, Frame Drum, and Sticks come loaded with a collection of handcrafted MIDI grooves, ready to spark ideas the moment you load the library. Each groove can be paired with its matching preset via the Load With Sound Preset function, or you can choose to keep your current sound while only loading the rhythm — instant flexibility for your workflow.
Effects
Black Lotus includes a curated suite of effects meticulously tuned to elevate creativity. Every knob and parameter has been refined to inspire sonic exploration. The Randomiser deserves special mention — an ingenious tool that instantly generates new textures and ideas, perfect for breaking creative barriers and discovering the unexpected.
