Orange Tree Samples – Evolution Bluegrass Banjo 1.3.0 Full + Update WIN MAC

We are pleased to present Evolution Bluegrass Banjo, a rich library of samples for fingerpicked banjo. The banjo we sampled for this library has a pleasant, clear, bell-like tone and a rich sound. The library’s timbre is quite versatile, capable of providing elegant, clean sustain and an immediate, powerful attack that adds drive to your song when needed. This banjo is also no stranger to a tenacious, gritty sound, which can be achieved by using louder dynamics, playing closer to the bridge, or using the built-in effects.

Evolution Bluegrass Banjo is based on our Evolution engine, which offers a wealth of features, including an innovative strumming pattern editor, automatic chord detection, and a powerful built-in effects engine. If you’ve used any of our guitar or bass libraries using the Evolution engine, its interface and workflow will be very familiar. The library includes numerous factory presets for creating ready-to-use classic and modern banjo tones that fit perfectly into a mix.

We developed this library in collaboration with Rosewood Recording Company, one of Utah’s most respected recording studios. Guy Randle, owner and engineer at Rosewood Recording Company, used analog audio equipment to skillfully shape and highlight the banjo’s rich tonal qualities.

For the sampling session, Guy Randle recorded versatile multi-instrumentalist Ryan Tilby. Known for his broad palette of sounds and styles, Ryan Tilby has performed at Telluride, Merlefest, FanFest, RockyGrass, and numerous other festivals across the United States, as well as toured Europe extensively. His music has been featured on Duck Dynasty, the Discovery Channel, and Outdoor Photo Adventures. Ryan Tilby also offers remote recording services for clients worldwide who require tracks for guitar, banjo, bass, mandolin, and ukulele.
