Evolution Bluegrass Banjo

About

Evolution Bluegrass Banjo is a guitar plugin by Orange Tree Samples. It is an extensively sampled, fingerpicked banjo library. The library is built on the Evolution engine, with a strumming pattern editor, automatic chord detection and a built-in effects engine. It includes factory presets for classic and modern banjo tones.

What it sounds like

The banjo has a sweet, clear bell tone with body, and can sustain purely or attack immediately. A plucky, gritty sound is available through louder dynamics, playing closer to the bridge, or the built-in effects.
