Lute v2

Lute v2 by Cinematique Instruments brings the warm, intimate tone of a nylon-strung Renaissance lute to your productions. Built around an eight-course instrument with unison tuning, it suits period-inspired arrangements, cinematic cues, acoustic textures and melodies that need a distinctive plucked-string character. Sampling in minor thirds, three dynamic layers and four round-robin variations help performances feel smooth and varied rather than mechanically repeated. You can also play the same note in different hand positions, changing its timbre as a real player would. Position changes are available live through the mod wheel, pedal or keyswitches, giving you expressive control while recording. For hobby producers and composers looking beyond standard guitar sounds, Lute v2 offers a characterful instrument for both historical settings and contemporary scoring.
