Origins Vol.7: Tar & Chonguri is a Kontakt instrument from Sonuscore that pairs two Eastern string instruments, the Tar and the Chonguri, in one plugin. It includes a Multi-Arpeggio-Designer for interlocking patterns and 80 rhythm presets.
Origins Vol.7: Tar & Chonguri is an ethnic string instrument built for Native Instruments' Kontakt. It combines two individually playable instruments: the Tar, a plucked string instrument with a clear, defined sound, and the Chonguri, which adds warmth and depth. Sonuscore presents the pair as a single instrument that can be played together or separately, with a Multi-Arpeggio-Designer for building rhythmic and layered parts.
The Tar is played with a plectrum on steel strings, which gives it a pure and defined tone. The Chonguri uses silk strings and contributes a softer, warmer character. Sonuscore says the two combine to create a broad range of timbres, from percussive plucks to ambient textures.
Each instrument can be played on its own or layered with the other, so you can shift between a bright, articulate voice and a rounder, more sustained one within the same patch.
The Multi-Arpeggio-Designer (MAD) is the central feature of the instrument. Two arpeggiators can be customized separately and run together to produce interlocking patterns. Sonuscore describes the engine as designed for musically shaped, human-style performance rather than random note placement.
The instrument includes 80 rhythm presets and 12 colour settings. Each colour has its own character, effect settings and impulse responses. Arpeggio designs can be copied to other Origins instruments.
