These exclusive packs are engineered with a meticulous attention to detail that sets them apart from standard sample libraries:
: Most instruments are fully resampled at 48kHz and 24-bit depth using dual or room microphones. Multi-Mic Control
| Feature | Description | |--------|-------------| | | 3-8 velocity layers per note, often 2-4 round robins | | Articulations | Legato, staccato, mordent, meend (slide), gamak (oscillating), kan-swar (grace note) | | MIDI CC mapping | Pre-assigned controls (CC1 = dynamics, CC11 = expression, CC64 = sustain/meend) | | Tuning system | Adjustable from equal temperament to 22-shrui Indian just intonation | | Performance scripts | Legato detection, automatic ornamentation based on note speed |
Instruments are sampled at multiple dynamic layers, so soft touches sound delicate while hard strikes deliver full-bodied impact.
This pack often includes essential, high-quality recordings of popular instruments like the Sitar, Bansuri, and Tabla, offering much greater nuance than basic, legacy instruments.
: Starting with recent expansions, Swar Systems introduces dedicated room mic controls. You can independently adjust the levels of stereo, mono, and room microphones within the "MICS" pane to customize the spatial depth of your mix.
