我们决定以前所未有的深度和创意对这款乐器进行采样。目前最好的水音乐器库包含约180-200个样本，不到Tonehammer Waterphone的十五分之一，后者拥有多达2903个样本，这些样本是用各种琴弓、大量的木槌、金属装置、手和其他装置录制的。
该库还包含各种更具实验性的音色，包括四种不同温度的沸水、水听器录音（水听器中的水下麦克风）、水听器音叉上的磁铁以及用金属钉填充的水听器和其他一些小玩意儿。该样本库涵盖了所有可以想象到和无法想象的演奏技巧类型，我们可以自豪地说，我们采样了水音乐器的灵魂。所有可演奏的木槌程序都包含我们标准的10个力度层 - 10个循环，以实现最佳可演奏性。此外，Waterphone 还包含一组额外的水电话氛围音效（注：仅限 Kontakt 3），由 Steven Tavaglione（乐器演奏家兼音效设计师；曾为《机器人总动员》、《美国丽人》、《犯罪现场调查》、《邪恶力量》以及其他数百部电影/电视剧/游戏创作）制作。

We decided to sample this instrument deeper and more creatively then ever before in the history of samples. The best current water phone libraries contains approx. 180-200 samples, which is less then 1/15 of the Tonehammer Waterphone, which contains a mighty 2,903 samples recorded with a variety of bows, a huge set of mallets, metal devices, hands and other contraptions.
The library also contains a variety of more experimental patches, including boiled water at four different temperature levels, hydrophone recordings (underwater microphones in the waterphone), magnets on waterphone tines and filling waterphone with metal nails and other goodies. The sample library simply covers all thinkable and unthinkable type of articulations and we can proudly state we sampled the living soul out of the waterphone. All playable mallet programs contains our standard 10 velocity layer - 10 round robin for maximum playability. In addition Waterphone contains a bonus set of waterphone ambiences (note: Kontakt 3 only) made by Steven Tavaglione (Instrumentalist and Sound Designer; Wall-E, American Beauty, CSI, Supernatural and 100s other movies/shows/games).
