PastToFutureReverbs Nashville Mandolin Strummer [KONTAKT]

If a MIDI library deals with the topic "strumming", the result can often be very artificial and hideous, even with many popular and well-known libraries.

It was our challenge that we develop a strumming library that should sound realistic and is very diverse in its area of application for all music genres.

That's why we took our beloved Collings Mandolin in hand to get that great mandolin sound.

We decided to record on a stereo setup with two "Schoeps CMC 5" microphones in XY microphone position with 2 Neve 1073 mic-pres.

Then we played chord by chord, countless chords... We cleverly scripted the samples into a small masterpiece in which we can now realistically represent a MANDOLIN in strumming mode.

Here are the main features:

- NASHVILLE MANDOLIN.nkm for Kontakt 5.4.3 (48khz/24bit)
- authentic tempo-independent rhythmic play of MANDOLIN strums
- controllable velocity hit for a mix-ready sound! 3 articulations of strummings that are easily handled in a live mode situation; Playing soft: open chords / playing medium: open strum chords / playing hard: sus-chords
- 30 RR per tone-pitch
- easy to use interface / one-octave major, one-octave minor
- Over 430 MB of Samples
- mixable Lexicon 480 reverb
- dead easy control of humanized guitar noise in sustain mode and normal playing mode.
Mod-wheel for SUSTAIN/black "c" for STOPing chord sustain with humanized guitar noise and stop-noise. That's all!

This enables a live performance to be presented very convincingly.

Above all, the number of RoundRobins and the ease of use of the controller makes this instrument a natural-sounding MANDOLIN Strummer.
