Auddict have released Solaris Duduk, available at the intro price of $45.00, increasing to $100.00 after the promotion.
Welcome to Solaris Duduk, an expressive, deeply sampled virtual instrument that brings the soulful voice of the Armenian duduk into your hands. If you’re scoring for film, games, or need haunting melodies with emotional weight, this is where you’ll want to start.
The Solaris Duduk, performed by Duduk master Naser Sezavar, captures the raw, emotional soul of the Armenian duduk, an instrument renowned for its ability to express longing, hope, and mystery in a single breath. Heard in blockbuster scores like Gladiator and Dune, its sound is instantly recognizable and universally evocative.
At the core of the Solaris Duduk lies a deeply expressive legato engine, capturing both vibrato and non-vibrato styles with seamless transitions between notes. This is essential to the duduk’s identity, where the real magic happens in the smooth glides and subtle nuance between phrases. To bring cultural authenticity and dynamic realism, Solaris Duduk includes eight unique ornament articulations, each crafted to reflect the traditional flicks, bends, and flourishes that define live performance.
Built for today’s composers, Solaris Duduk offers three mic positions, close, mid, and hall, so you can sculpt the instrument’s space and texture to suit any mix. Go from raw and intimate to atmospheric and grand with just a few adjustments. The intuitive interface gives you hands-on control of EQ, filters, envelope shaping, and effects. Activate polyphonic mode to transform the duduk into lush harmonic beds or ethereal pad-like textures. And with AI-enhanced tuning and transition smoothing, every note feels pristine and performance-ready out of the box.
