Chiqui-Audio - The Pirates

Captain Charles Johnson and his crew are ready to embark on a treasure hunt adventure on Providencia Island in the Caribbean Sea. However, they know that they can come face to face with mythological creatures and monsters such as mermaids, the Leviathan or the Kraken. This bundle offers four orchestral library bundles for Kontakt:

The Pirates - Captain's Strings: This bundle contains the four string libraries; violin, viola, violoncello and double bass.

The Pirates - Sea Monster's Brass: This bundle contains the orchestral brass section; trumpet, trombone, french horn and tuba. But it also contains another bundle called The Pirates - Sea Monster's Saxs which can be purchased separately to get the sound of four saxophones, soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone and baritone saxophone.

The Pirates - The Kraken: This bundle contains the four woodwinds of an orchestra; flute, clarinet, oboe and bassoon. But mixed wind instruments with a pirate theme cannot be missing; accordion, harmonica and melodica and the completely free simple libraries of a recorder and a music box.

The Pirates - Voices Of The Sea: This bundle contains three vocal libraries. The two main libraries include the vocal range of five singers. Voices Of The Sea - The Mermaids is a vocal library with five options of female singers with different ranges and tessituras. Voices Of The Sea - Drunk Pirates is the equivalent of the mermaid library but with five male singers and Voices Of The Sea - The Mermaid is the free version with basic features and only one female singer.

Features:

• Twenty-four orchestral libraries for Kontakt.
• Striking and intuitive design that includes effects and editing tools such as equalizer, compressor, saturation, reverb, delay, modulation effects, among others.
• Variety of articulations with key switches for ease use.
• Performance details such as breaths and/or sounds obtained when playing the instruments to get a sound as close to a real performance.
• 129 Factory Snapshots.
• Over 10.26 GB uncompressed file size.
• 9225 samples / 48kHz, 24-bits.
• User manuals with useful tips to reach the full potential of the libraries.
• Compatibility with Kontakt Player in demo mode.

The suite of Chiqui-Audio's instruments are super jam-packed with instruments for every taste coupled with multiple articulations and effect modules to truly tailor your desired sound. The Choral, Tape Saturation modules and Rotator effects are a novel touch to add an all-in-one solution to a truly 'global' set of instruments. They definitely have a place in my instruments template moving forward. Great value and highly recommended.
