About the Library
Modern Bodhrán is a traditional Celtic percussion library featuring four unique drums. These instruments have been hand built by master craftsmen.
The bodhrán is capable of producing a wide array of tones based on the musician’s hand position within the instrument. Despite the complex nature of playing a real bodhrán this library makes it easy for anyone with a keyboard to play like an expert.
The five performance presets make the library incredibly flexible. You can choose the preset that suits your playing style to quickly integrate the library into your workflow.
LibreWave recorded five unique tones for each drum, they were all played with three different sticks, recorded at three dynamics, with five microphones, and we included individual up and down strokes, with 6 repetitions for each. This gives you a total of 36 recorded variations per tone.
In addition to the library and its 13300 samples, you’ll also receive 22 MIDI loops to give you a starting point for your own creations. The loops were created from notation provided by Marissa and as a bonus you will also receive that hand written notation.
