Details

The library features a collection of over 600 phrases, including eight themes for the fiddle and seven for the nyckelharpa, all designed to sync with your DAW's tempo. Each instrument can be played separately, offering flexibility for composers to create their own melodies or integrate the phrases into larger compositions. Articulations include sustains with three velocity layers, staccatos and pizzicatos with four round robins, as well as a variety of trills and turns, enhancing the expressive potential of each instrument.

Close capture ensures that the intimate timbre of both instruments is preserved, highlighting the mechanical details and the natural resonance of the strings. The interface includes a full suite of contemporary effects, such as reverb and delay, alongside a four-band equalizer, allowing for precise control over the sound. This makes it easy to evoke the lively atmosphere of medieval markets or taverns, bringing a sense of historical authenticity to modern compositions.
