Cartago is a Kontakt library built around an extensive collection of ancient, modern, and custom-designed cinematic percussions. Created in collaboration with renowned sound designer Stefano Maccarelli—whose acclaimed works include the Ethera vocal library series, Elements, Kepler, and many more—Cartago offers a rich array of meticulously crafted sounds organised in two highly powerful Kontakt instruments.

Cartago features a wide selection of both acoustic and designed percussive instruments, from classic orchestral bass drums, timpani, and snares to custom Roman Timpana and various frame drums. Traditional world instruments are also well represented, including Japanese Taikos, Middle-Eastern darbukas, and West African djembes, alongside rare idiophones like the crotala, tintinnabula, sistrum, and scabellum.

Cartago is structured into two versatile instruments: the Acoustic Percussions Sequencer and the Designed Drums Kit. Both instruments are designed for an intuitive, composer-friendly experience, enabling seamless percussion sequencing and drum design that’s as creative as it is efficient.
