ProjectSAM have release Lineage Percussion, a collection of orchestral percussion instruments. The Pro version is available at the intro price of €349.00 + tax, increasing to €399.00 + tax after the promotion. There’s also a lighter “Core Edition”, available at the intro price of €129.00 + tax, increasing to €149.00 + tax. The offers end February 6th.
Readers may remember ProjectSAM’s True Strike, the ‘legendary’ orchestral percussion library first released in 2003. It’s a classic, originally released for Gigastudio and HALion, and then of course Kontakt. True Strike has now ceased to be on-sale. Lineage Percussion is not a follow-up or sequel to True Strike – there is no upgrade path or crossgrade option – but it’s something like a spiritual successor, after a 20-year improvement in technology. The lighter version, Lineage Percussion Core, is the same size as the full True Strike.
Lineage Percussion is an exquisitely detailed and highly versatile percussion library, Lineage Percussion will be an instant hit with orchestral, film, TV and game composers looking for powerful and cinematic percussion samples.
Lineage Percussion contains a comprehensive selection of orchestral percussion, making it the only library composers need to bring hard-hitting, versatile and dynamic percussion to their projects. Covering essential elements from Timpani and Snare Drums through more obscure, harder-to-find options like Anvil and Tubular Bells, to custom-made combinations like Melodic Shimmer and Big Drum Ensemble, this is the last word in percussion libraries.
For digital composers, the star of the show is Adaptive Sync, ProjectSAM’s technology that keeps crescendos, rolls and swells perfectly in time with a project, even through multiple tempo changes. And because this is ProjectSAM, also included are pre-rolled crescendos, multiple positioning options in the virtual concert hall, and incredibly performable instruments and kits.
Lineage Percussion is available now for Kontakt and Kontakt Player. The ‘Pro’ version of the software costs €399 (introductory price €349) and a reduced ‘Core’ version is available for €149 (introductory price €129). The Core version of the software features 47 instruments, as opposed to 70 in Pro, and only a premixed microphone output.
With XY Stage mode, you can position each instrument into your desired place on the stage. Back, front, far-left, far-right, and anywhere in between. The Premixed option lets you run with our exquisitely engineered setup, while the Custom Mix lets you blend level and panning between Close, Stage and Far mics, plus the Premixed feed mentioned before.
Choose the articulations and keyswitch settings that work for you, and gain more control over the sound and performance of an individual instrument.
Determine how an instrument responds to velocity and modulation wheel settings, and select the Round Robin behaviour for repeating notes. The Note Stacker lets you layer multiple tonal sounds into intervals or whole chords.
Don’t waste time lining up your crescendos between instruments. With Adaptive Sync, rolls match with a project even through multiple tempo changes. It’s all powered by ProjectSAM’s most extensive set of recordings yet.

Lineage Percussion requires a free or full version of Kontakt 6.6 or later.
