Picked Bouzouki is an expressive, picked legato bouzouki library with bite, warmth and attitude.

A companion to our previously released Fingerstyle Bouzouki, this picked variation offers a distinctly different sound. Both libraries lend themselves to softer performances, but Picked Bouzouki features sharper attacks and an expanded dynamic range – it really sings at the higher velocities.

Picked Bouzouki also includes our strum engine. It’s simple: hold down a note or chord in the playable range, then trigger downstrokes or upstrokes using the keys to the left. Adjust the speed of your strums with our Strum CC.

We have also included the usual arsenal of velocity-activated articulations for the legato patch: natural legato, slide plucks (with speed control), hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slide no plucks. 

While Fingerstyle Bouzouki covers the intimate side of things, Picked Bouzouki brings rhythmic energy, greater dynamic range and a little more attitude.
