Intuitive Instruments is proud to introduce its Exquis-Dualo Legacy soundbank for decent|SAMPLES’ Decent Sampler plug-in — porting the iconic soundbank from its du-touch and du-touch Sall-in-one instruments (originally released under the now-defunct Dualo brand name) to the now-fully-MPE-compatible sampler plug-in from well-known composer, music tech YouTuber, and software developer David Hilowitz — as of December 17…
Intuitive Instruments’ Exquis-Dualo Legacy ports the iconic soundbank from its (discontinued) du-touch and (available) du-touch Sall-in-one instruments to decent|SAMPLES’ Decent Sampler plug-in, packing 158 carefully crafted sounds — some only playable or best to play with MPE or polyphonic aftertouch controllers — across every category — from basses and winds to keys, pads, and drums — as a complete and versatile palette for any genre. It is available to download directly from decent|SAMPLES, offered as a full pack of 158 sounds (decentsamples.com) for $149.00 USD or as 10 individual category packs — namely, the 17-sound Exquis – Dualo Legacy (Guitars & Basses) (decentsamples.com), priced at $15.00 USD; 17-sound Dualo Legacy (Winds & Brass) (decentsamples.com), $24.00 USD; 10-sound Exquis – Dualo Legacy (Melodic Percussions) (decentsamples.com), $19.00 USD; 17-sound Exquis – Dualo Legacy (Keys & Plucked) (decentsamples.com), $24.00 USD; 12-sound Exquis – Dualo Legacy (Strings) (decentsamples.com), $19.00 USD; 10-sound Exquis – Dualo Legacy (Drums & FX) (decentsamples.com), $15.00 USD; 18-sound Exquis – Dualo Legacy (Miscellaneous Synths) (decentsamples.com), $19.00 USD; 21-sound Exquis – Dualo Legacy (Synth Basses) (decentsamples.com), $19.00 USD; 15-sound Exquis – Dualo Legacy (Leads) (decentsamples.com), $19.00 USD; and 21-sound Exquis – Dualo Legacy (Pads) (decentsamples.com), $19.00 USD. But better still, even, everyone can explore the ‘Dualo Legacy’ sound for free, courtesy of Exquis – Dualo Legacy (Taster Pack) (decentsamples.com), featuring 11 acoustic and electronic sounds, ranging from electro drum kits to violin, electric piano, leads, and fretless bass — readily representing a compact, yet diverse starter selection.
Saying that, the Exquis-Dualo Legacy soundbank is fully compatible with all MIDI controllers, whether they are standard MIDI or MPE enabled. Every preset has been designed to respond musically on any keyboard or pad controller, though the library shines even brighter on MPE instruments, where it is possible to play with the X, Y (CC74), and Z (Channel pressure) axes to modulate each note individually. It is fair to say, though, that non-MPE controllers — such as polyphonic aftertouch keyboards — can still benefit from Z-axis-controlled modulation and traditional MIDI controls.
Duly designated by name as such, Exquis-Dualo Legacy is also specifically optimised for all variants of Intuitive Instruments’ award-winning Exquis universal MPE/MIDI and CV controller (as well as other MPE instruments), offering smooth response curves, natural expressivity, and presets that make the most of multidimensional performance. Put it this way: with Exquis, users can use its four knobs to shape effects in real time, enjoying enhanced dynamic realism — especially on acoustic sounds, many of which respond to velocity and timbral gestures.
Get this, though: Intuitive Instruments has also taken this trailblazing software development as an opportunity to simultaneously announce a significant update to the accompanying Exquis app to Version 3.0.0.
