Precisionsound Releases The Persian Santur For HALion, Kontakt, And SoundFont

The Persian Santur is a trapezoid-shaped instrument with 72 strings and a 3 octave range. Similar types of instrument could be found all over the world; "Santoor" in India, "Yang qin" in China, "Hammered Dulcimer" in England and "Hackbräde" in Sweden. They are all slightly different in the amount of strings and the timbre but with similar constructions.

Precisionsound has sampled the Persian Santur with 2 types of mallets in 3 velocities, "Santur 1" (hard mallets) and "Santur 2" (soft mallets). You also get a huge set of different glisses, fx both tonal and percussive divided into 6 programs.

The complete Persian Santur contains 241 24-bit Stereo WAV samples

1. 8 programs for SoundFont (16bit)
2. 10 programs for HALion 1.2->
3. 10 programs for Kontakt 1.5 ->

The SoundFont versions are 100% compatible with all virtual samplers supporting the SoundFont format, like Gigastudio, HALion, Kontakt, EXS24, VSampler, NN-XT, Dimension, Sfz, Audigy and Emulator X.

All formats are included when you buy "Persian Santur" so you can download whatever format you like or all of them.
