Product Overview

Pedal Steel centers on pedal steel performance with a natural, mixable capture aimed at Americana, country and documentary scoring. The focus is immediacy and idiomatic phrasing rather than complex programming.

Details

Sampling focuses on idiomatic techniques—sustains, measured shorts, slides and ornaments—captured at close range for detail. The goal is to retain the tactile quality of picks and bar work while keeping noise under control so lines layer cleanly with rhythm sections. Round‑robins on repeated notes preserve life in tremolo picking and broken‑chord figures.

Mapping emphasizes direct playability with clear keyswitches for common articulations and quick access to vibrato or slide behavior. Basic tone shaping, subtle saturation and room/plate ambiance are available in the internal mixer, allowing you to move from intimate documentary cues to brighter country leads without rebuilding a signal chain. The instrument drops naturally into Americana, folk and modern score contexts.
