Native Instruments LORES (KONTAKT)

EVOLVING TONES AND TEXTURES
– An eclectic collection of organic instruments, purpose-built for creating musical stories
– Add dynamic realism and movement to your productions with this playful, multi-dimensional library
– 16 instruments expressed through over 300 hand-played articulations – classic woodwinds, rare chordophones, and compelling vocals.

THE ART OF SONIC STORYTELLING
Music is a story, LORES is your narrator, inviting listeners on a sonic trip around the world to hear your own unique tale. From traditional strings to eclectic instruments, such as the hurdy-gurdy and shakuhachi, this innovative library makes it easy to add magic to your scenes. Play yourself into the narrative with an intuitive interface that lets you create extraordinary, evolving soundscapes.

IMMERSIVE, INVENTIVE, INSPIRING
Meticulously curated and refined, LORES dissolves the boundaries of traditional instrumentation, allowing you to seamlessly blend eclectic tones. Enter a space where the timbre of a Mongolian horse fiddle dances together with a woodwind ensemble, or hear what medieval pipes sound like accompanied by violin with a Middle Eastern flair. Choose from 16 instruments and hundreds of articulations to mix and match – the possibilities for fantastical blends are boundless.

PLAY WITH HUMAN FEEL
Stories told through song are universal to the human experience, and that’s why LORES continues this age-old legacy with personable touches. Musicians were sampled playing with organic variations – random swells, unexpected tremolos, and stray harmonics create natural movement at the performance level. Using multi-mic recording, instruments can be physically staged within multi-dimensional smoke plumes, adding dynamic realism to your productions.
