Product Overview

Slide Lap Steel offers a detailed sampling of the lap steel guitar, capturing its expressive potential across various musical styles. With a focus on realistic pitch bends and slides, this library excels in folk, country, pop, and even rock contexts when paired with distortion.

Details

The instrument features chromatically sampled strings with three dynamics and four round-robin variations for each string, resulting in over 2,000 high-quality samples. The pitch bend slides are enhanced through timbre-corrected bending, allowing for a more natural sound that re-excites the strings and extends sustain. This library also provides the ability to set bend ranges to specific keys or scales, enhancing playability.

In addition to its core sampling, Slide Lap Steel includes five stereo cabinet impulses, along with effects such as spring reverb, tremolo, and chorus. An external preset system allows for easy management and sharing of settings without needing to reload the entire library, streamlining the workflow for users. This makes it a versatile tool for composers looking to integrate the unique sound of lap steel guitar into their projects.
