Ink Steel is inspired by modern pedal steel guitarists like Daniel Lanois, Russ Pahl, and BJ Cole. It’s perfect for singer-songwriters, Americana, ambient, or what Brian Eno called “zero-gravity country music.” Play with the built-in effects or use your favorite plugins or pedalboard. It’s simple and a lot of fun.
More details
How it works:
The instrument features eight unique chord sets and four sets of individual notes, which can be selected on-screen or switched using keys on the keyboard. For each chord set, the pitch change corresponds to a major scale.
In chord sets, white keys represent diatonic chords, while black keys represent other common chords (1st variation, 2nd, 4-minute, #5-minute, b7).
In single note sets, white keys represent the major scale, while black keys represent repeating notes of the scale that don’t respond to pitch bend. Play single notes, double notes, or create unique key combinations with pitch bending.
Transpose chord sets and single notes using the arrows in the user interface.
You’ll need:
• The full version of Kontakt 6 or higher (not Kontakt Player).
• A MIDI keyboard with a pitch bend wheel.
• 420 MB of free space on your computer or hard drive.

• Plate and Spring – Pedal steel with 100% processing through Plate and Spring reverbs
