Ireland is a Kontakt instrument from Native Instruments that features 11 traditional Irish instruments, including tin whistle, fiddle, bodhrán and Irish harp. It requires the Kontakt 7 Player or Kontakt 7 version 7.7.2 or higher.
Ireland is part of Native Instruments' Spotlight Collection and focuses on traditional Irish music. The instruments were recorded in Milltown Malbay with musician Noel Hill. The collection covers pipes, fiddles and flutes, along with instruments such as the banjo, and it can be used for full folk arrangements or to add an Irish color to modern productions.
The instruments include ornaments and articulations associated with Irish folk playing. Native Instruments says the collection includes true legato samples that capture the expression of each instrument, from the Irish flute and tin whistle to bowed fiddle.
The library is organized so you can work with melodies directly. Each instrument contains snapshots with six MIDI phrases, which can be auditioned quickly to shape a performance.
Each snapshot's MIDI phrases are mapped to the scale and root note you select, so phrases follow your key. You can also adjust the tuning of each instrument and shape the sound with the studio controls.
The built-in mixer and studio effects are included for arranging the instruments into a finished mix. With Kontrol keyboards, the instrument supports polyphonic aftertouch and release velocity, and the color-coded Light Guide helps you switch between playing styles.
