Orange Tree Samples has released Evolution Jazz Archtop, a hollowbody jazz guitar sample library powered by Native Instruments' Kontakt Player.
Evolution Jazz Archtop is designed to provide the user with the classic tone of a hollowbody jazz guitar, a staple in traditional and contemporary jazz ensembles. The archtop guitar also makes appearances in other styles of music such as R&B, pop, latin, and funk. Evolution Jazz Archtop covers all these musical styles. Evolution Jazz Archtop's samples include multiple round-robin in both pick directions and three dynamic layers. The library covers articulations such as sustains, palm mutes, fully muted notes, and natural harmonics. It also includes extended performance techniques such as legato articulations and effects like string slaps, divebombs, fret noises, and others.
In developing Evolution Jazz Archtop, Orange Tree Samples teamed up with Rosewood Recording Company. Guy Randle, the owner and recording engineer at Rosewood Recording Company, and incorporated analog audio equipment to sculpt and emphasize certain tonal qualities of the jazz guitar. For the sampling session, Guy Randle worked with Rich Dixon, a session guitarist, international performer, and jazz theory/improvisation educator.
Evolution Jazz Archtop is outfitted with Orange Tree's Evolution guitar engine which is designed to provide a user with a built-in strumming pattern editor, automatic chord detection, and a comprehensive effects engine.
