Spitfire Audio releases another free Labs instrument called Charango
Sampled Andean guitar plugin
Spitfire Audio has released another sample-based instrument in its Labs line of free plugins, called Charango.
Named after the instrument itself, the Charango is a small stringed-instrument from the Lute family that originated from South America.
This sample set was recorded back in 2006 by Christian Henson on a KM184 mic in his Soho flat, played by his brother Joe. This was the instrument that inspired Christian and Paul to create Spitfire Audio.
Charango joins a growing number of sampler instruments; Drums, Electric Piano, Amplified Cello Quartet, Soft Piano and Strings, which work within a dedicated VST/AU/AAX plugin that’s been designed in collaboration with UsTwo (Monument Valley).
To sign up and download the free instruments, go to the Spitfire Audio Labs website now.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
