ACOUSTIC BASS
The Gimbri is a three-stringed skin-covered bass that originated in Morocco. It is actually a lute that produces rich deep but also somewhat harsh and earthy tones through its wooden body and goat gut strings. Often compared to a bass guitar, the gimbri brings deepness into the music with its low dynamic range.
The main focus was to capture different articulations of the Gimbri while keeping its organic feeling and warm sound. Traditionally played with the fingers, we recorded it muted, with a plec and through an amp to ensure a wide variety of tones. It comes with five presets, while the possibility of custom settings is kept open.
Please note. Kontakt 5 or higher full version is required.

Organic Sound
The emphasis was mainly on capturing the notes in a very realistic and organic way. We recorded all main articulations with a cool condenser in four round robins and three velocity layers.

Strumming Engine
It is effortless to use - you only need to draw your pattern in the sequencer and flip between dead notes and open strokes - that's it.
Additional Features
We included additional features, like an arpeggiator and several audio effects. You can also shape the envelope to create different sounds.
