Details

The library captures the nuances of its performers in a unique acoustic environment, allowing for a direct connection to the emotional intricacies of the sound. Each instrument is recorded closely, with multiple mic options available to tailor the ambience to your needs. The collection includes a soft upright Steinway piano, traditional Estonian kannel, and a variety of vocal articulations from the acclaimed Vox Clamantis ensemble.

Articulations span a wide range, including sustains, staccatos, crescendos, and irregular repetitions, providing ample flexibility for expressive playing. The library also features 71 sound-design patches, enhancing the instrumental offerings with layered and processed sounds that respond dynamically to performance controls. This makes Salu particularly well-suited for underscoring and creating intimate soundscapes in film and contemporary music contexts.
