Precisionsound have released Greek Lira - a sample set for HALion and NI Kontakt.
The Lira (kemance) is a traditional Greek instrument used in Mediterranean folk music.
A small 3 stringed instrument played with a bow and with a quiet limited tonal range.
Precisionsound told us, “We decided to sample the Lira in a way that makes it more like a universal ‘ethno violin’, the articulations represented in this SampleSet are more ‘over the top’ than the actual instrument is used for traditionally. For example; pizzicato and staccato playing is not, traditionally often or at all, played with this type of instrument.� The articulations are:
Regular unlooped notes
Legato unlooped notes
Staccato
Pizzicato
Tremolo
Glides

The Sample Set contains 254 24bit WAV files divided into 28 programs for NI Kontakt and 25 programs for HALion. Pricing and Availability:
