The steelpan is a quintessential symbol of West Indian creativity, and has become a medium for percussive expression globally. Indigisounds' Steelpans takes the power of the steelpan sound a step further by bringing you the first ever sample library to capture the entire range of the conventional steelpan and its performance criteria.

The Indigisounds team has carefully crafted these samples to mirror the sounds of pan yards across Trinidad and Tobago. At your fingertips is the potential to compose, arrange and produce the authentic sound of an entire steel orchestra.

Indigisounds users will be able to access the samples for live performances, as well as for arrangement/production services via KONTAKT 5 PLAYER.

Features:

• Allows for composing, arranging and producing at the convenience of your fingertips, using the creative vibe of the widest variety of authentic steelpan samples ever created (4GB).
• Package includes the option to access velocity control (for single strikes - 5 velocity layers, and for rolls - 3 velocity layers), transposition, extended instrument ranges and ADSR envelope.
• Bonus feature, sampled "engine room" instruments found in a typical steel orchestra.
• Playback capability for music notation software and Digital Audio Workstations using KONTAKT PLAYER as a VST or AU plugin.
• Samples were critiqued by steelpan tuners and users in Trinidad and Tobago, spiritual home of the steelpan.
• Unlike the physical instrument, samples do not require periodic specialist re-tuning.
