New Product: Ilio Plectrum
Oct 15, 2007 3:51 PM Asher Fulero (Writer)
Ilio Plectrum is a virtual
instrument for Windows designed to simulate plucked, strummed, tapped, scraped,
flicked and otherwise unusual but untreated real-world sounds. Operating in
VST, RTAS or stand-alone versions, Plectrum contains 185 instruments ranging
from stretched strings, glass vessels and water-filled cups to breaking twigs
and thousands of other bizarre-yet-usable sounds, all at high 24-bit/96 kHz
resolution and all carefully pitched and mapped for fast keyboard control.
Round-robin playback of multiple unique samples per key means slight variation
when repeating a note, and the very high polyphony of the Tascam GVI streaming
audio engine means no cut-off samples; both factors are important for making
convincing takes. The library of fast-loading instruments is divided into nine
categories: Strummed Strings, Struck Strings, Plucked Strings, String
Harmonics, Glass, Ceramics, Metals, Found Objects and Habitats. Simply select a
category, select an instrument and start playing to discover the otherworldly
in the real world.

real-world virtual instruments for yourself for $299 at www.ilio.com.
