If you need to slide some genuine pedal steel magic into your own music, Pedal Steel 2 is the perfect choice. The loop pack provides a huge collection of inspiring pedal steel phrases, capturing the magic of that sound when in the hands of a master player. The perfect way to expand your sound and performance options for genres like Country, Bluegrass, Blues and Hawaiian. This library lets you easily put the authentic character of this iconic instrument into your own productions.
The loop pack contains 2.3 GB of sample data and 510 individual loops and phrases. All of these phrases come in two versions. The AMP version features a mix-ready sound with some reverb, compression, EQ and a touch of saturation for a warm, rich sound that is full of personality. In contrast, the DI version features a clean sound that is perfect as a basis for your own choice of effects or processing.
The loops are organized into 26 folders based on the original tempo and key of the performance. Each folder contains up to 26 related phrases, many of them extended in length. These can easily be linked to build longer performances. The original tempos range from 70 to 128 BPM. Elastik’s powerful tempo matching and pitch manipulation tools allow you to mix and match phrases between folders, providing further flexibility when creating your own unique arrangements. Many of the phrases include a fully decaying end note, making it easy to create a natural ending or outro.
The distinctive sound of the pedal steel guitar lies at the very sonic heart of many County, Bluegrass and Blues songs. If you work in these styles, Pedal Steel 2 is the perfect choice. It works great alongside the first Pedal Steel library and is also a welcome compliment to other Elastik libraries such as Country Rock, Delta Blues, Blues Rock and Aloha Hawaii.
