Culture - the world's most authentic percussion collection

The internationally multi-award winning Independence Instrument Culture comes with a premium sound library of world, ethno, orchestral and industrial percussion.

Thus you will find instruments from all over the world, with every detail, making Culture sound incredibly real. For example, a single djembe contains the playing techniques: bass tones, closed, half closed, open, damped and fingered... everything with 16 velocity splits per note for left AND right hand. All these techniques are available for the different playing styles like hits, flams, rolls, ghosts and drags. With the recording of all these articulations and playing techniques Culture achieves a so far unrealized and stunning authenticity of percussion instruments, enabled by the innovative Hyper-Mapping in three axis.

Culture is vast, user friendly, intuitive to play from keyboard, hand percussion controllers or any other MIDI controller and is unique in content and sound quality to meet the demands of musicians, film composers, songwriters and music producers.
