Sonokinetic has released Yiddish, a new sample library for Kontakt 4 and Kontakt 5.
Sonokinetic has specialized in in-depth musical history heritage exploration since 2008. With "Yiddish" they fulfil their premise to capture part of the Jewish music culture and complement their signature sampling line with this very recognizable musical style. Different from the mystical Sephardic "Voices of Israel" and their cross-over to the Yemenite style, "Yiddish" brings a more Jewish-European oriented style which found its roots in the high-German and Ashkenazi language.
