WoodBox

WoodBox was recorded with two microphone positions: a stereo pair in front of the cajon and another facing the back, which captures more bass. Every sample was carefully trimmed to keep the two in phase.

The two positions are mixed with the Front and Back faders on the interface.

TheBox

TheBox, the bass cajon, was recorded from a single microphone position, but it still has all the detail needed to sound realistic.

It shares the same mapping presets, MIDI learn and sensitivity controls as WoodBox.

TheBox

Your mapping

Every hit position can be moved to any key in a few seconds with MIDI learn, and saved as a mapping preset, so the cajon fits the way you play or your pads.

The sensitivity is adjustable too, from a narrow dynamic range to every one of the velocity layers.

By far the best cajon samples I've heard. They are detailed and expressive enough that you'd never tell it from the real thing.
It might seem unnecessary to have a sample library for such a cheap and easily played instrument, but it's really convenient to use when doing work late at night and don't want to disturb anyone.
