Product Overview

Details

The library allows for the Contrabass Panduri to be transposed down an octave, enabling long, resonant plucks that emphasize harmonic progressions. The Tanbur can complement this with its higher, sparkling notes, making it ideal for creating layered textures. The presets are designed to reflect realistic playing styles, with categories that include both standard 4/4 arpeggios and more complex time signatures like 5/8 and 7/8.

Central to the instrument is the Multi-Arpeggio-Designer, which features two customizable arpeggiators that can create intricate patterns and soundscapes. With over 80 rhythm presets and 12 unique color settings, users can sculpt their sound to fit various scoring contexts. The library also allows for the copying of arpeggio designs between different Origins instruments, enhancing workflow and creative possibilities.
