Engine Audio Accordions 2 Collection - Upgrade
For Owners of Any Accordions 2 Series Library
The Largest Virtual Accordion Collection
Since its beginnings, Tarilonte's Accordions has been the benchmark for realism, expression and musical depth.
With this new edition, the instrument reaches a new dimension: all previous accordions have been carefully refined and expanded with the brand-new Folk Melodeon - a traditional diatonic accordion with a warm and characterful tone.
Recorded at Eldana Estudio with the legendary U47 microphone, chromatically sampled, featuring 3 dynamic layers and 3 round robins, Accordions 2 captures the living sound of the instrument.
Even the finest details - bellows movements, key noises and natural releases - create an incredibly authentic playing experience.
Additionally, Accordion, Folk Accordion, Concert Accordion and French Musette include a left-hand section with basses and chords plus rhythmic accompaniment (14 styles, latch, note length control) for instantly playable, style-typical patterns.
