Duduk

The Duduk is a Kontakt instrument that captures the haunting, meditative voice of the ancient Armenian woodwind made from aged apricot wood. Famous for its role in the Dune scores, this library delivers over 80 snapshots across natural articulations, drones, sound design textures, and rhythmic loops. You get sustains, vibrato, trills, crescendos, flutter-tonguing, ornaments, phrases, and experimental techniques like deep reed and lip vibrato. The 26 accompanying drones feature cello, violin, shakuhachi, bamboo flute, accordion, harmonica, hulusis, bawu, tongue drums, and handpan, plus synthesized hybrids. Recorded mostly at 192kHz/32-bit, the instrument is ideal for film scoring, ambient, world, and cinematic music. It suits composers and producers seeking expressive, emotional woodwind textures in Kontakt. Articulations are key-switched with clear keyboard markings, and percussion loops are tempo-synced at 100bpm.
