“Eduardo’s Accordions library takes accordion sampling to the next level! I was concerned that the patches wouldn’t be expressive enough for the film music I’m working on currently, as I’m using a lot of live instruments… But these patches are totally expressive and organic! I’m able to create a very realistic mock-up… and whether dry or through multiple effects, it is totally working in the mix…”
