Although people have been using various approaches throughout history to give guitars a more muted sound, the concept of using a rubber bridge is thanks to Reuben Cox, luthier and owner of Old Style Guitar Shop in Los Angeles, California. Since the late 2010s, rubber bridge guitars have been multiplying throughout indie rock music, even making notable appearances in pop music. 15 gigs of samples ensures that all the articulations you want are right at your fingertips.Įvolution Banshee is $139, direct from the Orange Tree website.Orange Tree Samples have released Evolution Rubber Bridge, a new Kontakt library available at the intro price of $139.00, increasing to $179.00 after the promotion. But it makes perfect sense – why shouldn’t drummers have access to the same kind of tech that guitarists do to make their songs come to life? I see no reason.Įvolution Banshee might not be the first of its kind, but it’s likely the most extensive – over 15,000 samples were used for maximum realism and usefulness. In an article we wrote up last year, we talked about drum hero Anup Sastry and his compositions which feature live drums and sampled guitars, which is a bit backwards from the normal recorded guitar and sampled drums thing I hear all the fucking time. Luckily for everyone involved, logic prevailed and I gave him some solid advice, and now many months later, this extremely patient man has released Evolution Banshee, an extensive sample library of a Schecter Banshee 8 string with Bare Knuckle Juggernaut pickups. So when my friend Greg Schlaepfer of Orange Tree Samples asked for some advice on 8 string guitars for his upcoming sample library, that same part of my brain was like “DON’T YOU FUCKING DO IT TRAITOR!”. My stupid limbic system is just feeling things that don’t make sense, and it’s just screaming “They’ll put you out of a job! It’ll be the soup line for you!” despite the fact that the earliest sampler (the Mellotron) came about in 1963 and never put anyone out of a job. Of course, this is stupid – I use sampled instruments all the time, drums especially. As a guitarist, it feels just so… wrong to me to extensively sample my instrument.
