The deal
$89 at KVR Marketplace (down from $129, 31% off). Sale ends August 28, 2026.
What it is
Arabic Oud is a virtual instrument built around three authentically sampled Middle Eastern ouds, captured with the warm, resonant tone and natural playing dynamics of the real instrument. It's designed to handle both delicate, ornamented melodic phrasing and driving rhythmic accompaniment patterns, and it includes built-in microtunings for the Bayati, Rast, Saba, and Seka Arabic modes so the pitch and intervals stay authentic without manual tuning work.
Who it's for
Composers scoring film, TV, or games that call for authentic Middle Eastern or world-music color, and producers working in traditional Arabic, world, pop, or contemporary genres who want a real oud sound instead of a generic ethnic patch.
Key features
- Three sampled ouds covering 39 articulations for melodic and rhythmic playing styles
- Multiple velocity layers with up to 8 round robins per note for natural-sounding dynamics
- Integrated microtunings for Bayati, Rast, Saba, and Seka modes, plus Latch and Hold keyswitches for expressive real-time control
