Description
Overview
The Accordions 2 Collection Upgrade by EngineAudio allows registered owners of at least one single Accordion (Engine 2 or Engine Player) to expand their library into the comprehensive full collection. This upgrade brings together a diverse array of authentic accordions, refined for maximum realism and musical depth, including the addition of the brand-new Folk Melodeon.
Recorded at Eldana Estudio using the legendary U47 microphone, this collection captures the “living breath” of the instrument. With chromatic sampling featuring 3 dynamic layers and 3 round robins, the library delivers an incredibly authentic playing experience that includes the subtle nuances of bellows movements, key noises, and natural release sounds.
Key Details
- Expanded Instrument Palette: Access 10 authentic accordions, including the new Folk Melodeon, a traditional diatonic accordion known for its warm, characterful tone.
- Rhythmic Accompaniment: Integrated accompaniment for Accordion, Folk Accordion, Concert Accordion, and French Musette, featuring 14 styles, a latch function, and independent note length control for bass and chords.
- Enhanced Realism: Revised dynamics and layer structures provide a more responsive playing feel, complemented by enhanced key and release noises.
- Engine Player Integration: Designed for the fast and intuitive Engine Player interface, providing direct access to registers, reeds, dynamics, and effects.
