Accordion, shruti box, harmonium etc...

BuffaloGhost

I have been searching for good small reed based piano libraries (That will run in Kontakt player) - sorry I just don't have the full version... And it strikes me that this is a LABS project waiting to happen. As a song writer I would mainly use them underneath acoustic guitars or pianos as you would use an organ perhaps or underlying strings.

I would not really use them as a solo instrument like many of the sample libraries out there seem to focus on.. In fact a drone based shruti box or harmonium would be a lovely LABS instrument...

The main feature really that is missing from such instruments in logic (fro example) is the dynamic controls as accordions and any other instruments with bellows sound differently as you push more air through the reeds. the dynamic range not only in volume and but tonally is incredible. I am not sure if Spitfire (Whom I love and provide me with incredible products) read these forums but I thought I would put this out here as a suggestion.

I came here looking for the same thing - I'm just getting into composition and would love a harmonium to play with.
