Apple EXS24
In this new release you will find a 5 string banjo owned and played by our friend and banjo wizard Chris Elliot. This instrument has the classic warm tone associated with pre-war banjos with plenty of punch to cut through a mix. Even though this library is called a Bluegrass sample library, you will find it to be quite flexible across many different musical genres.
