Cinematique Instruments has announced the release of Bowed Psaltery, a new Kontakt format sample library of a wooden soundbox with unstopped strings over it, that is played with a bow.
The Bowed Psaltery is triangular in shape, allowing each string to extend a little farther than the one before it, so that each can be individually bowed – only one note at a time. The Bowed Psaltery belongs to the Zither family.
Bowed Psaltery contains samples of sustain/ legato notes as separate upbow and downbow stroke variations, short as well as staccato bowed notes in 4 times Round Robin and tremolo notes. Beyond that there are “slow – tremolo” loops and some noises and scratches made with the bow – all in tempo-sync.
Summary of all 8 patches:
Pricing
Bowed Psaltery costs €19. Kontakt 3 or higher is required.
