Le Parisien

Le Parisien by Wavesfactory brings the expressive character of three acoustic accordions to Kontakt. Choose from Chordox, Valetta and Frontalini instruments, with registers ranging from bassoon and musette to single- and double-reed tones. Three microphone positions and round-robin sampling help capture the nuances of real accordion performances, making this library a natural fit for folk arrangements, cinematic cues and melodic accompaniments. A chord recognizer handles major, minor, seventh and diminished chords, while the built-in sequencer offers 10 patterns you can modify or replace with your own. Shape the performance with adjustable velocity response, dynamic range and mechanical noise levels, then add EQ, compression, modulation or reverb through the effects section. It suits producers and composers who want detailed accordion parts without recording an acoustic instrument. Requires the full version of Kontakt 5.7.3 or later; the free Kontakt Player runs it in demo mode only.
