Articulations and Playing Techniques in The Ronroco

The Ronroco includes 9 articulations, each with its own key switches. Long notes are recorded in round-robin with three dynamics per note, which helps repeated notes sound less mechanical. Staccato, pull-off, mordente and tremolo notes give you short and ornamented phrasing without leaving the instrument.

Chords and strokes are provided in many tonalities, so you can build progressions directly in the library. Southern Winds is a separate tool for realistic tremolos, and Rontoor is a sound produced by striking the strings with a metal wand, which adds a percussive texture.

Arpeggios, Soundscapes and Effects

The arpeggio menu holds a large set of patterns intended to create original sequences. The soundscape menu is aimed at building broad beds and atmospheres, and the effects menu offers sounds made by playing the Ronroco in unusual ways.

Loot Audio provides videos and sound demos on the product page so you can hear the instrument in action before loading it.
