Produced by Eduardo Tarilonte, who has released numerous renowned libraries, Engine Audio's ""Accordions 2"" series is considered the perfect choice for anyone seeking a realistic and, above all, easy-to-play accordion library. Many prominent composers and producers have praised the authenticity and expressiveness of this virtual instrument.

""Accordions 2 - Collection"" is a product that combines 10 different accordions from around the world, all previously sold individually by Engine Audio, into a single library.

All accordions are sampled using a U47 microphone, with a full scale sampled across three dynamic layers and three round-robin patterns. Details such as bellows movement, key noise, and natural release are reproduced, resulting in an incredibly realistic playing experience.

Furthermore, the accordion, folk accordion, concert accordion, and French musette sections include not only bass notes and chords for the left hand, but also rhythmic accompaniment (14 styles, latch, and note length control), providing readily playable patterns typical of each style.
