Traditional Celtic Frame Drum For Contemporary Music
Meticulously Sampled Traditional Celtic Drums
Modern Bodhrán is a traditional Celtic percussion library featuring four unique drums. These instruments have been hand built by master craftsmen. The bodhrán is capable of producing a wide array of tones based on the musician’s hand position within the instrument. Despite the complex nature of playing a real bodhrán this library makes it easy for anyone with a keyboard to play like an expert. The five performance presets make the library incredibly flexible. You can choose the preset that suits your playing style to quickly integrate the library into your workflow. In addition to the library and its 13300 samples, you’ll also receive 22 MIDI loops to give you a starting point for your own creations.

Microphones, Tones & Dynamics
Recorded with five microphones. In addition a stereo mix of the five microphones is included. The volume and pan of each channel can be controlled using the on-screen mixer.
Capable of producing a range of tones depending on how and where the player places their hand inside the drum. In addition to the five hand positions we also recorded a selection of rim shots.
For every stick and every tone of the four drums we recorded both up and down strokes at three dynamic levels.
Patches
Each drum includes five patches that change how the samples are mapped and the methods used to trigger them. Which one you choose will depend on your preferred playing style.
There is an auto patch that will select the stroke direction for you automatically so you can focus on the rhythm. Other patches try to emulate the way the real instrument is played.
You can explore the details of each patch in the user guide.
