Best Service 1133-210 Overview

Explore the more modern sounds of Arabic music with Best Service Arabic E-Oud, a virtual instrument designed for the Engine platform. Here the electronic oud has been sampled, giving you a sound popular in the modern music scene of certain Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean countries. Best Service has enaged virtuoso Bassam Ayoub to bring this electric oud to life. Together, they present a comprehensive sampled library for your productions and compositions.

This software offers 25 articulations with 20 velocity layers and up to 16 round-robins per hit. Easily controllable by means of keyswitches, Arabic E-Oud comes with Engine Player included. To take full advantage of the instrument, download Engine 2.7 or later. This software is compatible with Mac and Windows platforms, and will operate in AU, VST, and AAX formats.

Modern Arabic Sound
The Arabic E-Oud captures the sound of an electric oud, and brings it to your DAW. The included Engine Player's interface makes it easy to work with the library, allowing you take advantage of this hybrid modern/ancient sound, and to unleash your creativity. ENGINE 2 Sample Player is included, but for full functionality, download Engine 2.7.0 or later.
Microtunings on Hand
The interface gives you access to the most important and commonly used microtunings in this style of music: Bayati, Rast, Saba, and Seka. Each tuning offers two variants (Normal and Syriac Church), as well as free choice of the root key. These integrated microtunings are very appealing to professional Maqam performers.
Keyswitch Control
The Keyswitches allow you to switch between the different playing techniques to create incredibly realistic performances. There are two types of keyswitches: latch and hold. While Latch keyswitches remain active after the key is released, Hold keyswitches remain active only as long as they are pressed and held by the player. After the key is released, the playing mode changes to the last selected Latch Keyswitch.
Included Sequences
Your MIDI controller's keyboard range is larger than the natural range of the instrument. So, outside of its range, Best Service has turned certain keys into triggers. Press the keys (color-coded green in the software's GUI), and you'll be able to play short musical sequences. These show off the oud in its most natural light and can be used in your compositions.
Played by a Consummate Pro
Syrian-born Bassam Ayoub has toured with various bands across many Arabic countries and Europe. He has worked with countless artists, as well as with renowned oriental keyboard and expander manufacturers such as Korg, Farfisa, and Limex. Arabic E-Oud is the result of his extensive experience in sampling Middle-Eastern instruments bringing playability and realism to the next level with Engine 2.
