Step into the time-honored melodies of yesteryear with the remarkable “Folk Fiddle” presented to you by none other than Organic Loops, home to the most enchanting samples. Folk Fiddle is a collection of marvelous strings intertwined to weave a tapestry of heartfelt melodies and rustic charm, ready to bring your compositions to life at a tempo range of 85-115 BPM.

Performed by Ben Weedon with production and recording being done by Michael Tedstone, Folk Fiddle includes a selection of clean and ornamented string phrases from English, Irish and, Scottish folk tunes. It also features a set of chords and riffs to accompany these tunes and useful notes and harmony phrases to complement them. The pack provides a large range of lengths from short, muted notes to full melody phrases and sustained tones. Picked patterns and some extra bowed instruments such as a balalaika have also been included for more wild and messy sound effects.

Folk Fiddle was recorded on an old 1840s French violin, a modern English 5-string violin, and a modern English viola hand-crafted by Ben in his workshop. A combination of an AKG 414 ULS and a Neumann U87 was used for its neutrality and renowned airy clarity.

The samples are provided in their dry state to preserve the unique character of each instrument and provide a rare opportunity for producers to bring the flavour of live strings into their work through these sounds which have not been overly tamed.
