Product Overview

Evolution Mellow Mando offers a warm, earthy tone from a meticulously sampled 1917 A-style mandolin. This library captures the instrument's rich expressiveness, making it suitable for a variety of musical styles that benefit from a mellow character.

Details

The library features a comprehensive range of articulations, including sustains, palm mutes, harmonics, and tremolo, with three dynamic layers and up to four round-robins for nuanced performance. The sampling process emphasizes the full dynamic range, allowing for delicate pick sounds at softer velocities and lush sustain when played more forcefully. The instrument was recorded at Rosewood Recording Company, where analog gear was used to enhance its tonal qualities.

Powered by the Evolution engine, the library includes both an as-recorded signal and an enhanced signal that can be blended according to preference. Additional features such as a pattern editor and chord system facilitate authentic mandolin rhythms, while adjustable pick position and a powerful mapping system allow for extensive customization of articulations. This makes the instrument versatile for various scoring contexts, from intimate acoustic settings to more expansive arrangements.
