Orange Tree Samples has released Evolution 10 String Stick, a Chapman Stick sample library powered by Native Instruments' Kontakt Player. They say:
Evolution 10 String Stick recreates the unique sound of a Chapman Stick.
We sampled each of the instrument's ten strings individually, all the way up the instrument's fretboard for a total playing range of over five octaves. Evolution 10 String Stick automatically determines which strings and frets to use based on adjustable positions for both hands. You can also select where the split point is between the treble and bass ranges.
Evolution 10 String Stick was developed in collaboration with Rosewood Recording Company in Utah. Guy Randle, the owner and recording engineer at Rosewood Recording Company, incorporated analog audio equipment to emphasize desirable tonal qualities of the instrument. Evolution 10 String Stick includes both the as-recorded signal as well as an enhanced signal.
Key features:
- Over 10,500 samples totaling 14.5 GB of uncompressed samples.
- Articulations such as sustains, muted notes, natural harmonics, plus special effects like string slaps and divebombs.
- Legato samples for slides, hammer-ons, and pull-offs.
Intro Price: $139 until May 26th, 2023 (Reg. $179). Evolution 10 String Stick is powered by the free Kontakt Player.
