Ircam Solo Instruments

The Result of More Than 10 Years of Research, Recording and Editing

A grand undertaking, we hired extraordinary concert instrumentalists to help us document these instruments and utilized the finest engineers and equipment available to ensure the recordings are as accurate and as clear as possible.

This collection not only contains the usual sounds of these sixteen wonderful instruments, but also some very rare playing techniques that you will not find anywhere else: multiphonic, aeolian, hit-on-body, buzz, crushed... Carefully programmed with expressive key-switches and other crossfading techniques, each preset can be loaded and played instantaneously whatever your system thanks to the supplied UVI Workstation.

If you're looking for your first high quality solo instrument library or are looking to add a choice collection, IRCAM Solo Instruments offers a unique and comprehensive soundset unrivaled in quality.
