Free Download Cinematique Instruments - Banjo 3

The banjo is typically a stringed instrument with four or five strings, a long neck, a round body similar to a drum, and a soundboard made of a plastic membrane. Its unique sound is produced by the vibration of the membrane when the strings are plucked with the fingers or a plectrum. The banjo is commonly associated with country, folk, classical music, Irish traditional music, and bluegrass.

We used a 5-string banjo with a 33 cm diameter mahogany body. We played and recorded in different ways to achieve a typical banjo sound . Each of them has several layers of velocity and 2 circle repeats. After editing and processing the samples, we created a patch that features different banjo styles, a short note function, an octaver, a reverb control and improved scripts. We also added banjo noises to this patch . The result is a very realistic and organic instrument.

In 2015 we updated Banjo and combined all the individual patches into one comprehensive patch with a new graphical interface.

In 2022, we recorded two new articulations on a new instrument to significantly improve on the previous version. Now you have a complex and expressive Banjo 3 instrument , capable of playing both familiar bluegrass sounds and impressive scenes from movie soundtracks. Finally, we added effects and editing capabilities, an arpeggiator and a step sequencer in a new, more intuitive graphical interface.
