Designed for producers and composers who dare to push creative limits, Black Lotus delivers genre-defying soundscapes — from urban pop to cinematic thunder 🎧.

🌍 The Story Behind Black Lotus

Inspired by the visionary sound design of Cristobal Tapia de Veer (The White Lotus), Black Lotus reimagines the power of traditional African instruments through the lens of modern production techniques.

Born in the rich musical soil of South Africa, this toolkit captures the essence of a culture where rhythm, melody, and storytelling collide. We transformed 8 rare instruments — including Dundun, Frame Drums, Sticks, Reed Shaker, Reed Pipe, Bamboo Pipes, Bow, and a custom Bass Marimba — into a refined, production-ready experience that’s truly unheard and revolutionary. 💥

Black Lotus isn’t just another sample library — it’s a sonic revolution designed for the bold, the unconventional, and the award-worthy. 🏆

🧰 Inside the Toolkit – Instruments & Sound Design Magic

🎵 Dundun – Handcrafted percussion with punchy, short-muted tones perfect for layering in drum sections. Includes 5 Dunduns, multiple play styles (hands, mallets, sticks), and 200+ inspiring MIDI loops & presets.

🥁 Frame Drum – Deep, warm, and ancient. A timeless instrument reborn for the modern score.

🔔 Sticks – Inspired by Woodkid’s “Run Boy Run”, we blended wooden and metallic articulations for a signature hybrid tone. With humanizer controls and one-key strikes, these sticks hit differently.

🌾 Reed Shaker – Organic rhythm in motion. Authentic African craftsmanship delivers hypnotic textures that groove effortlessly.

🎹 Bass Marimba – Soulful, resonant, and alive with Cape Town’s spirit. Prepared through our custom FX engine to deliver unmatched low-end beauty.

🎐 Reed Pipe – The voice of the wind. Overblown harmonics and malleable tones that drift between traditional warmth and cinematic magic.

🎻 Bow (Uhadi) – A South African bowed gourd instrument with deep, expressive resonance — reimagined through morphable textures and effects.

🎋 Bamboo Pipe (Nyanga Pan Pipes) – Ethereal and melodic. Transformed into ambient dreamscapes and haunting harmonies.
