Kinder Klang - what does that even mean?

Kinder Klang Just Landed — Prepare for Toy Pianos, Kazoos, and Utter Chaos. Our 15th Library!

Hey everyone!

Kevin here, composer, dad, and the guy behind Triumph Audio. I’m thrilled and a little stunned to say this is our 15th sample library in under two and a half years. And trust me, this one is different.

First, a quick note on the name Kinder Klang. It’s a German phrase that literally means “children’s sound” or “children’s tone.” That pretty much sums up the whole vibe of this library: innocent, playful, imperfect, and full of charm.

Meet Kinder Klang, our biggest, weirdest, and most playful collection yet. It’s a massive, deeply sampled collection of children’s and preschool instruments, and it all started with a scoring gig for a preschool animated show. I wanted the music to sound like it was written by the kids themselves. Not polished. Not Hollywood cute. Just raw, messy, hilarious, heartfelt chaos.

So I raided my children’s old instruments, toy bins, thrift stores, music classrooms, and grabbed anything that made noise, then went into the studio. What came out? A collection that’s charming, scrappy, and surprisingly useful. Toy pianos, toddler drum kits, boomwhackers, glockenspiels, kazoos, recorders, ocarinas, pots and pans, junk percussion. If it squeaked, rang, plunked, or honked, we probably sampled it.

We recorded everything here at Triumph Audio in stereo in my perfectly dry writing room. Because of the nice dry sound, It drops into your template and just works. No weird reverb tails. No overdone gimmicks. It’s playful, but professional.

The cool part? You can score entire tracks, full cues, ads, quirky indie projects, kids shows, experimental scores using just Kinder Klang. I dare you to try.

But in usual Triumph Audio fashion we went one step further…..

We passed the raw instruments to our team of Triumph Audio collaborators and told them to go nuts. The result? A really fun processed section. Think lush pads made from toy bells, aggressive synth basses born from a kazoo, pulsing rhythms from a baby drum kit. We even have entire voice menus full of beatboxing, reward stickers in audio form saying great job, silly songs in Italian, weird phrases, and vocal effects that will either make you smile or question your sanity.

Kinder Klang ended up with over 340 patches across tonal instruments, percussion, voices, and all the crazy processed stuff. It’s 5.99 gigs of pure childhood chaos in Kontakt format, refined just enough to be usable in serious work but still totally unfiltered.

Honestly, this one was a blast to make. It’s playful, musical, unexpected, and I think one of the most unique libraries out there. If you score animation, games, quirky films, or just want to shake up your workflow with something totally outside the box, Kinder Klang is ready for you.

Thanks for being part of the Triumph Audio family and making it to library number 15 with us. We have more wild stuff coming soon, but for now go make something ridiculous.

P.S. Human beatboxing made from a preschool instrument library? Yes. Yes we did that.
