Insanity Samples – The Gurdy: Hurdy Gurdy Wheel Fiddle

The GURDY is the most complete and fully featured Hurdy Gurdy sample instrument on the market (or Wheel Fiddle as we like to call it). Every nuance and real life quirk has been painstakingly recreated, from both a sampling and a scripting level, bringing true-to-life Gurdy performance techniques to your digital writing environment. With a fully chromatic design for every drone string, adaptive turns and other live performance techniques for the melody strings. Along with aftertouch and a moveable ‘dog buzz’ threshold for the iconic buzzing bridge effect. There’s even percussive sounds, and fingernail drone slides to boot – your inner Folk-Pirate virtuoso will be clawing to be released.

We set out to create the Wheel Fiddle of our dreams, The GURDY is the result!
