Feb 10 - 01:07 PM | Virtual Instrument > Orange Tree Samples |
Orange Tree Samples has just released CoreBass Pear, an upright bass sample library for Kontakt 2 and 3.
Using Kontakt's scripting engine, CoreBass Pear intelligently interprets the input from your MIDI controller (or sequenced MIDI data) in order to produce realistic upright bass tracks. The library was sampled both using a mic and directly from the output of the bass pickup—two separate signals which can be mixed to create a variety of different upright bass tones. You can select between the presets CoreBass Pear comes with, or create your own, all within the sample library's interface.
The library features :
- 400 MB of hand-tuned 24-bit samples
- Full sustain with natural decay and release samples
- Separate mic and DI samples
- Individually sampled strings
- 2x intelligent round-robin sample cycling
- Seamlessly slide from one note to any other
- Variable pre-pluck noises
- Dynamic vibrato
- Harmonics, string slaps, mutes, and other special effects
CoreBass Pear is available for an introductory price of $54.95 (normally $64.95) as a direct download. The introductory discount ends on February 15th, 2009.

Feb 10 - 11:29 AM | Industry > Source Distribution |
Source Distribution today announces its appointment as the new distributor for the legendary Moog brand, covering the territories of the UK & Ireland. Effective immediately, Source will supply all Moog products to the market - including the Minimoog Voyager & Little Phatty keyboards, the Etherwave Theremin, the Moogerfooger effects processors and the innovative Moog Guitar.
Commenting on the appointment, Source's Director of Distributed Brands Howard Jones said: "We've always greatly admired Moog and are absolutely thrilled to be working with the Moog team. For Source, this is an important step in our development, since Moog is our first 100% out-and-out musical instrument line, but one that dovetails perfectly with our existing pro audio brands. With so many "me-too" products out there, there is something refreshingly unique and individual in each and every one of Moog's offerings. We're really looking forward to raising the Moog profile even further in the UK & Ireland."
Moog's President, Mike Adams added: "With the considerable financial turbulence we've seen in the UK market over the last 12 months, we're delighted that our new partnership with Source means that we'll now be working with the most stable and professionally run distribution outfit in the UK. We're all looking forward to a long term and very fruitful relationship together."
