Accordion, styrian harmonicas, clarinets and brass instruments are available just like guitar, bass and drums. And of course, we haven’t forgotten traditional instruments like the dulcimer, the Zillertal fiddle and the alpine bells.

All instruments have been recorded with full details and offer different articulations that can be keyswitched to deliver authentic sounds. Also, the clearly arranged user interface of the Engine player allows to individually adjust specific characteristics of the instruments such as release-noises for the accordion. In addition, levels, panning, legato, reverb and further functions can quickly be set here.
All instruments have been played by masters of the Volksmusik genre, just read the list below. These experienced musicians are not only virtuosos for the corresponding instruments; they also have a deep knowledge of getting that characteristic folkloristic sound out of them. By using this library, you may now finally benefit from these specific sounds in your productions.

Alpine Volksmusik can be used in flexible ways. Are you a singer or a soloist, wanting to arrange your own compositions? Do you need semi-playbacks for your live-performances?

By using the outstanding instruments of this library, you will be able to compose and arrange your songs with your digital production system to your liking and in highest quality.

Alpine Volksmusik may sound traditional as well as modern. Simply choose the instruments that fit your music. Select a dulcimer and an accordion for family music or go for a small marching band from the upper Carniolan region! Are you in need for a soft sounding nylon-string guitar for a ballad or do you want modern drums, brass, vocal effects and a special synth-bass from Zillertal? Alpine Volksmusik will deliver it all! Naturally, you may complete this library with other instruments to create party-music, cover-versions and Après-Ski-tunes with authentic folkloristic sounds.
