This library is a tribute to the legendary musical style of its namesake, Django Reinhardt, innovator of gypsy jazz (also known as gypsy swing, hot club jazz, or jazz manouche). We recorded three instruments – acoustic lead, electric lead, and acoustic rhythm – designed to deliver solo and accompanying parts in the characteristic expression and speed of this wonderful style. With over 20,000+ samples total, we can confidently say we achieved our goal!
But the degree of sampling depth and authenticity included in DJANGO makes the instrument suitable for other contexts as well: modern jazz, swing, blues, or even pop, and can provide an alternative sound for lead steel or nylon acoustic guitar parts played with a pick. The rhythm instrument is ideal for the well-known upbeat swing rhythm, best known as “la pompe”, in any key and with a wide range of chords.
The designer of DJANGO, Dimitris Plagiannis, also produced our popular bouzouki and oud sample libraries, and approached this with the same sampling philosophy: meticulous recording, editing, and scripting techniques to make the instruments sound absolutely real. Not just through intelligent note playback (smart virtual fret selection, bends, slides, release noises), but also by including playing inconsistencies that provide the dynamics, flow, and expressiveness of real acoustic performances. It’s these subtle (and controllabe) imperfections that give sampled and sequenced performances true life and depth.
We hope you’ll enjoy the result!
这个库是对其同名传奇音乐风格的致敬，吉普赛爵士乐（也称为吉普赛摇摆乐、热俱乐部爵士乐或爵士乐 manouche）的创新者 Django Reinhardt。我们录制了三种乐器——原声主音、电主音和原声节奏——旨在以这种美妙风格特有的表达和速度演奏独奏和伴奏部分。总共有超过 20,000 个样本，我们可以自信地说我们实现了目标！
但 DJANGO 中包含的采样深度和真实性使该乐器也适用于其他环境：现代爵士乐、摇摆乐、布鲁斯音乐甚至流行音乐，并且可以为用拨片演奏的铅钢或尼龙原声吉他部分提供替代声音。节奏乐器非常适合著名的快节奏摇摆节奏，最著名的是“la pompe”，适用于任何调和各种和弦。
DJANGO 的设计师 Dimitris Plagiannis 还制作了我们广受欢迎的布祖基琴和乌德琴样本库，并采用了相同的采样理念：细致的录音、编辑和脚本技术，让乐器听起来绝对真实。不仅通过智能音符播放（智能虚拟音品选择、弯音、滑音、释放噪音），还通过加入演奏不一致性来提供真实原声表演的动态、流畅度和表现力。正是这些微妙的（且可控制的）缺陷让采样和排序的表演具有真实的生命力和深度。
我们希望您会喜欢这个结果！ |
