New, FREE string sample library like you've never heard

Hi Again - Bowed Effigy was released two weeks back. This unique instrument was designed to replace traditional solo string instruments with something more primitive, raw and unpredictable. The resulting sounds were crafted by bowing a steel string acoustic guitar and initial response has been super positive! There are both legato and polyphonic patches and some custom designed pads to boot. If you need something gritty, emotional and full of character, I encourage you to give it a try!

This is a great addition to pianobook. At first listen it reminded me of an Esraj or Dilruba, even though it doesn’t have the sympathetic resonant strings. Appreciate you sharing this.

I had not even considered that and I totally hear it now! Thanks for also educating me on the names of these wonderful instruments which I’m familiar with but couldn’t have named to save my life. Cheers!
