Charango: Kontakt Instrument by Loot Audio

Loot Audio sampled the instrument with 15 samples per note, covering a range of dynamics and round robins. The developer says it combined vintage and modern recording techniques, using several microphones and preamplifiers.

The developer describes the top end as sweet and harmonic-rich, with shimmer that suits melodic and rhythmic parts alike. Compared with the Ronroco, the charango version is described as offering more dynamic range across the instrument's full span.

The DOUBLE feature loads two charangos, which can be used to add depth and a sense of space to a part. This is useful when a single instrument sounds thin in a mix or when you want a fuller ensemble texture from one track.

The developer says the instrument is straightforward to play, so it can be used without a long learning curve.
