VST Buzz has launched a limited time sale on the Bluegrass Banjo Kontakt sample library by Bolder Sounds.
Bluegrass Banjo by BolderSounds is a 5 string banjo owned and played banjo wizard Chris Elliot.
This instrument has the classic warm tone associated with pre-war banjos with plenty of punch to cut through a mix. Even though this library is called a Bluegrass sample library, you will find it to be quite flexible across many different musical genres. Recorded with 5 round-robins on each of the 5 strings, strings 5 round-robins for each of the 5 strings of the banjo, strings 1 through 4 were sampled chromatically up to the 17th fret and the first string was sampled up to the 22nd fret.
Bluegrass Banjo requires the full version of Kontakt 4 or above and is 1.5 GB uncompressed.
The sample library is available from VST Buzz for $42 USD until June 18th, 2013 (regular $60 USD).
