zircon Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (x-post from KVR) I didn't design this one, but we're releasing it through Impact Soundworks nonetheless because it's absolutely amazing. Impact Soundworks is proud to release Plectra Series 1: 8-string Acoustic Bouzouki, the first instrument in a new series of picked, plucked and strummed instruments from around the world. Designed and produced by Dimitris Plagiannis, this exquisite library covers the Greek bouzouki in previously unheard-of depth with multiple dynamics, round robins, articulations, intelligent scripting and deep customization. The 8-string acoustic bouzouki is an excellent instrument for both solo and rhythmic playing in any style, from traditional Greek music to film, TV and game scores, pop, rock and more. Its bright strings and resonant body allow it to cut through a mix when necessary or provide harmonies and rhythmic backing; either way, it's a real joy to simply load and play. Even though there are numerous customization options and keyswitches available, one need only load either the Close or Room patch and simply begin playing to get a great result. Note: This library was originally released by Handmade Sounds, but it is now exclusively part of our catalog and we're very pleased to be working with Dimitris on this and future releases! Existing customers will receive a refund of $10 as we've lowered the price of the library AND added additional content in the form of a new stereo room mic position. Features: * Over 3,000 24-bit WAV samples * Kontakt 4 format * Multiple dynamics and strokes (RRs) * Close and room mic positions * Advanced, intelligent scripting * All 8-strings sampled and selectable * Hammer-on, pull-off and legato slides * Tremolo and pitch bends * Sampled chord strums (major and minor, multiple voicings) Demo Video (Narrated video walkthrough coming soon!)

theshaggyfreak Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 It sounds good and I'm impressed of how it's set up! I just wish I could buy every library that I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
