Alpine Volksmusik 2

Alpine Volksmusik 2 is the independent sequel to the popular Alpine Volksmusik Library, offering 42 unique patches for folk and brass music. The library covers all the instruments you need for authentic productions of Swiss Folk Music, Austrian Stubenmusik and German Marching Music.

All instruments were carefully recorded and feature multiple articulations, accessible via keyswitches for authentic performance behavior. The interface makes it easy to shape and customize each sound. Alongside standard controls like volume, pan, and reverb, each instrument and patch includes dedicated parameters.

Alpine Volksmusik 2 can be used in many ways. Are you a singer or instrumental soloist arranging your own pieces? Do you need half-playbacks for live performances? Or additional layers for studio recordings? Or pre-productions for guest musicians? With Alpine Volksmusik 2, you can do all this and more with ease - directly in your DAW, in high quality and fully tailored to your workflow.
