Discover the unique sound of the electric Arabic Oud, meticulously sampled and transformed into a versatile virtual instrument. Created in collaboration with the renowned musician Bassam A. Jalgha, this instrument delivers the authentic and expressive sound of a modern Oud, perfect for contemporary music productions. Thanks to the direct input (DI) recording, you get a clean, warm, and full tone that you can further shape and customize to your exact needs.

The library is cleverly divided into two main sections: Deck A and Deck B. Deck A is designed for melodic playing, offering a wide range of intuitively controllable articulations. Deck B focuses on rhythmic performance, containing patterns and phrases that allow you to easily create complex accompaniments. In total, you have 25 different articulations at your disposal, including sustains, staccatos, hammer-ons, pull-offs, glissandos, and tremolos, ensuring maximum realism and playability.

Key Features for Authentic Sound

One of the most crucial components is the integrated collection of microtunings and scales, which is essential for creating authentic Arabic music. The instrument includes an extensive collection of traditional scales but also gives you the freedom to create and save your own tunings. For further sound shaping, an effects section is ready with cabinet simulation, EQ, delay, and reverb. Additionally, an integrated phrase generator and arpeggiator make it easy to create typical Oud melodies and rhythmic patterns. This instrument is the perfect choice for film scores, ethnic and traditional compositions, as well as modern genres like pop and electronic music.
