If a MIDI library deals with the topic “strumming”, the result can often be very artificial and hideous, even with many popular and well-known libraries. It was our challenge that we develop a strumming library that should sound realistic and is very diverse in its area of application for all music genres. That’s why we took our beloved Collings Mandolin in hand to get that great mandolin sound. We decided to record on a stereo setup with two “Schoeps CMC 5” microphones in XY microphone position with 2 Neve 1073 mic-pres. Then we played chord by chord, countless chords… We cleverly scripted the samples into a small masterpiece in which we can now realistically represent a MANDOLIN in strumming mode.

Hoard Mandolin KONTAKT

P2P | 25 July 2024 | 2.43 GB

Hoard Mandolin is a versatile and dynamic legato mandolin library designed for Kontakt. Performed by renowned session player and producer Jason Hoard, our goal was to develop a comprehensive mandolin library capable of delivering virtuosic performances as well as heartfelt simplicity. The Master Legato Main patch is a true workhorse, suitable for a wide range of musical contexts. The Chicken Peck variant offers the same functionality while incorporating repetition sustains optimized for rapid and successive picking without compromising the inherent legato capabilities. Both patches seamlessly integrate downstroke and upstroke legato picking techniques. In addition to the performance sustains, we have included playable repetition patches with split-keyboard options, tremolos, sustained chords, carefully-crafted short chords derived from phrases, and even choked chucks; both playable and tempo-synced live grooves recorded at 90, 120, 150 & 180 BPM.

Old Mandolin v2 KONTAKT

HORiZON | 25 November 2014 | 66.4 MB

I found this old, unused mandolin, hanging on a wall in a dark corner of my cellar. I bought it about 10 years ago in a local music store. I played it for some time, but then turned to another instruments and good old mandolin got down there. When I saw it after such a long time I knew immediately, that its time has come again. The result is a mandolinesque experimental library, what is emphasized by quite a lot of percussive sounds I got from its body, neck, strings beating and knocking them with my hands. Old Mandolin already in its first edition was not meant to be an exact sonic portrait of this instrument. As the title “Old Mandolin” implies, the goal was capturing the instrument with its flaws and imperfections to maintain its organic value, unpredictability and obscurity. Rubbed off frets, tuning issues and “not that great sound” really would not compete for more, but there are always more angles to take the view from.

​​MANDOLIN TEXTURES is a Kontakt instrument created using the sound of an acoustic mandolin. On some patches the sound is heavily manipulated, giving birth to unexpected sonic creations. Mandolin Textures – Unexpected Sonic Creations for Kontakt This instrument does not represent a sampled mandolin with all articulations. This is an inspiring tool which is based on a mandolin source, and is highly inspiring and musical. The first two patches are standard muted mandolin sounds, which we like a lot and find highly flexible and natural. The Muted Mandolin patch is sampled in 4 velocity layers and 3 round robins. Other patches are various textures, pads and ambient sounds. Mandolin is sampled with a Royer SF 12 stereo microphone in combination with an original Neve 1073 stereo pair of preamps OR occasionally Millenia HV-3C.

GODFATHER’S TREMOLO

The Mandolin is a small string instrument – it is a flat back soprano Mandolin from Ireland. It is tuned like a violin in G-D-A-E. The Mandolin is a small string instrument which evolved from the lute family in Italy during the 17th and 18th centuries. It is usually plucked with a plectrum and has 4 courses of doubled metal strings, usually tuned in perfect 5th. Our Mandolin instrument is a flat back soprano Mandolin from Ireland. It is tuned like a violin in G-D-A-E. Our primary focus was on creating a Mandolin instrument that delivers a natural and organic feel. Our instrument provides two different plucking sounds, “Plec”and “Finger”, as well as “Vintage” and a “Strummed” articulation. All of those are equipped with a compelling and organic tremolo feature which allows you to easily play the Mandolin in the typical “tragic “tremolo style. In addition to that, we programmed a strumming engine which performs patterns based on the pressed keys. This is best suitable for accompanying your song or music.

Mandolin v2.2 KONTAKT

The concept of the mandolin is very simple. You can play any note on any string between the open string (0 fret) and the 12nd fret using key switches. I made this kontakt instrument so I can have the ability to play any note that I want, that way I can play the mandolin and have the same spacing of the chords that the mandolin has and the same tone that the strings has. It’s very important to have the right TONE OF THE STRING so it will sound the right way. In the mandolin you can select always the right note on the right string or you can select the open strings if you like that sound. you can decide what is right to you it’s your choice. You can hear it clearly if you play arpeggio notes, but also if you play fast chords up and down strokes.
