Hanz Zimmer Guitars Vol 2 [Akai]

A brand new volume of expressive instruments

The worlds best-selling guitar multi-sample library has evolved into a brand new volume of expressive instruments created for Hans Zimmer by veteran sound designer Bob Daspit. Many of the new instruments feature velocity switching up and down slides, in addition to a new method for controlling vibrato with dynamics. With the authenticity and character of each instrument beautifully captured, these guitar patches are a real pleasure to play and more realistic than ever.

Among the distinctive sounds in this collection: Great new Pop sounds including a rich, moody Jazz Guitar - a spirited 1909 Gibson A2 Mandolin, perfect for country & folk tunes - a 1947 Lap Steel Slide guitar - the Coral Electric Sitar, originating in the psychedelic sixties - Electric Baritone - and Finally, a brand new Steel String Acoustic guitar. Among the most exotic instruments from South America are the Cuatro - the Charango - the Cavaquiñho - and a bold Flamenco Nylon guitar. Perhaps most rare in this collection are the string sounds of the Middle East (created for The Prince of Egypt score), including the Oud - the Saz - the Cumbus - and the unusual Yayli Tambur.
