Ottoman Oud

The 'Oud' is at the core of makam based music and one of the most well known and highly regarded instruments of the Near and Middle East and has been around for centuries. The Turkish oud is a bit smaller than the Arabic oud and it has five double strings plus a single string at the low end. This characteristic feature allows playing all the complex pitch scales and nuances of the makams. It is the ancestor of the European lute, but it is played with a pick. Like the violin and cello, it has no frets, allowing an infinite variety of tones to be played. In Ottoman and Turkish music theory there are 53 possible tones per octave.

In detail, expect to find 547 MB of raw content featuring 90 beautifully played 'Oud' loops at 90, 110, 130 BPM and includes a dry version (w/o any additional e.q, compressor or reverb effects) and wet version of each, giving a total of 180 files. All loops are Key and Tempo Labelled for ease of use. All sounds are ready to fit straight in your tracks.

This instrument can be used accompanying other instruments and is perfectly usable in a variety of musical genres whether you're producing World music, Ethnic and Organic Folk music, Experimental, Cinematic, Ambient, Meditation, Live lounge, Electronica or even Hip-Hop, also suitable for Film Score, Documentaries and media compositions as well - the only limit is your imagination!
