Two string instruments that form the basis for Portuguese and Latin American music, the fado guitar and cavaquinho especially are also featured in styles across the world. They form a beautiful and compelling pair for the ORIGINS VOL. 8 traditional strings plugin. The cheerful strums of the cavaquinho make for the perfect bed upon which lie the soulful melodies of the fado guitar.
For this traditional strings plugin, the Multi-Arpeggio-Designer (MAD) gives a wonderful duet performance when playing chords, melodies or progressions on your keyboard.
Play accented, rhythmic sequences with the Cavaquinho, adding the light metallic chime of the Fado Guitar, letting both instruments dance together. The Fado Guitar offers a wide variety of effects from percussive timbres to melodious plucks and more! Round them up using the more empowering and rhythmic Cavaquinho.
ORIGINS VOL. 8: FADO GUITAR & CAVAQUINHO is designed with easy usability at heart. Use the instruments individually, or unlock the full glory of the duet by joining them together.
