PMX-309 Exotic Plucked Ableton Pack

PMX-309 Exotic Plucked by PerforModule
A set of six odd and unique plucked string instruments, sampled from the PX-300 Digital Piano and presented in a self-installing pack for Ableton Live 9+.

Included Instruments:
PMX-300 Banjo
PMX-300 Harp
PMX-300 Kalimba
PMX-300 Koto
PMX-300 Shamisen
PMX-300 Sitar

The samples for each of 88 keys have been individually recorded through a dual triode vacuum tube at 96k for a touch of analog fidelity. 
They have been crafted into instrument racks optimized with parameters to reflect their true acoustic counterparts.

The Exotic Plucked set also comes with some different effects which vary per instrument, such as "Harpeggiator", "Buzz", "Scrape", and "Sympathy". There is also a bonus effect rack, "Pluck Space", which is great for adding a feeling of natural space to digital plucked instruments.

Macro Controls (assorted):
"Reso Twang": adds in extra resonance akin to a banjo resonator.
"Buzz": adds in a sound like strings vibrating loosely.
"Tone": controls the overall EQ curve. 
"Sustain": choose how staccato or how sustained notes are.
"Reverb Dry-Wet": percentage of reverberated signal.
"Palm Muting-Damping": emulates a guitarist's palm mute technique.
"AmpCab %": percentage of the signal fed thru the combo amp.
"Finger vs Pick": fade from softer to sharper response.
"Whammy Bar": play with this like a real whammy bar to cause deep pitch scoops and wacky effects. At maximum (0) = not pressing.
"Vibrato": add in humanesque vibrato which increases in intensity as the knob is turned up.
"Space": percentage of echo + reverb signal.
"Harpeggiator": play arpeggios by holding down keys. Disabled at 0; brings in and speeds up the harpeggiation as you turn it up. 
"Key", "Mode": filters the notes to fit within a chosen key and mode. Hover over the controls to see details.
"Sympathy": fades in the resonant sound of the sympathetic strings.
"Symptahy Key", "neutral--min--maj": set the root note of the sympathetic resonance, and the overall mood. Use "min" for a dark, sinsiter vibe, and "maj" for a bright, joyous vibe. For abstract modes, try "neutral".
