Le Parisien
Le Parisien is a sample library for Kontakt based on three accordions.
It's a faithful recreation of the sound and behaviour of the real instruments.
Accordion collection for Kontakt
Recorded with three mic positions and multiple round-robin in a perfect studio environment. The library includes all the features you need to create beautiful and evocative accordion tracks and accompaniments easily.
Le Parisien offers sustained notes in all the registers that the original instrument has, but also full chords (major, minor) and bass notes. With the included sequencer you can create patterns that can be easily played with the left hand while the right hand plays melodies on top.
In this video overview, Matt Vanacoro walks you through Le Parisien and shows you the sound and workflow of the library.
