Egyptian Ney is a set of 3 neys: A,B, and C . Where ney A is more like a synth ney or a lead ney with fast attack designed for synth sounds gurus who want the ney to sound like a synth lead sound, and B is darker sound with slower attack that sounds more like a Turkish - Persian ney, and finally C which sounds more like a Kawala with mid attack and more airy sound. All sound samples are looped and scripted to work with Kontakt version 5.4 to get a realistic performance of the instrument as much as possible.

The concept of the instrument is to have dynamics controlled by the modulation wheel that controls volume and air of the ney itself, but because of the special characteristics of the ney sound and the way it is played we had to add an option as a function that we called "dynamic to pitch" that can be enabled /disabled. The dynamic to pitch function is basically linking modulation wheel and pitch bender together where pitch can go up/down along with dynamics and this will create the realistic vibrato that the ney player produces while playing the instrument. The amount of the pitch change whether up or down can be controlled with a knob designed for that purpose called "Pitch amount". Please see product images/screen shots

Wind/air and release samples volume can be controlled by two knobs and can be assigned to any controller by midi learn option. Even though the ney does not or its not common to have a growl effect like the saxophone for instance, we did add that as an option along with the tongue flutter effect. The volume control of growl and flutter effect is assigned to midi CC 23 and 21 but you can still use the midi learn option to assign them to whatever you want.

The two meters on the interface named "Dynamics" and "pitch" show the change in pitch and/or dynamics in real time while playing, they can be used also to control both on screen with mouse or assign different controllers to them by right clicking and using the midi learn option. Keep in mind that this does not apply to dynamic to pitch function meaning you can control pitch and/or dynamics with other than bender and modulation wheel but you cant link them like dynamic to pitch function.

The quarter tone option allows you to use middle eastern and Arabic scales by quarter toning notes with one click plus adjusting the tuning amount +/- 50 cents.

The effects tab includes Reverb with real IR spaces and a delay.

The instrument smart articulation script will detect the articulations automatically by velocity and speed of playing and moving between keys, even though the ney is a monophonic instrument poly playing is allowed and it is detected automatically. Articulations included are slow and fast portamento, legato, staccato, and poly.

Thank you for this library, but i think there is a problem. There should be 3 Ney instruments, A,B and C. In the rar archive there is just the ney A. Both ney B and C are missing. Maybe they can get uploaded too. Thx.

Hello,

yes my bad, the library is fine, one should just switch from one ney to the other through the yellow keys. My bad once again, maybe an admin can delete my comment. Thanks to the uploader for posting this, and lets hope for more Findasound stuff here soon!

It is a function called Dynamic to pitch that will create the realistic vibrato.

Dear xiaoyan thank you for replay
I know what is mod wheel function exactly!
BUT it doesn't work as a Dynamic on this library for me and that was strange for me!
That's why i asked for :)

Best regards,

this sounds okay unless you try and do fast trills then it sounds super robotic - but it's great for slower passages...
make music, not walls.

Has anybody else noticed that some of the notes (actually quite a lot of them) are staccato only, with Ney C. In the youtube demo, they seem to be able to be to play sustained notes with those same exact keys...pretty weird. Seems like their auto articulation script is fucked up (just for me ?).
Anyway, those are good sounding instruments nonetheless ! Thanks for the share !

The windiness of the instrument is not pleasing to my ears. That wind sounds like someone blowing and it gets in the way of the instrument. Now, here's why I make a point of this. IF this instrument goes way back to the ancient Egyptians, and we have pretty good evidence that they were able to do amazing things like move things and perform healing with certain sound frequencies, I think I'll be waiting forever to be convinced that the ancient Egyptians could have created those tones and frequencies with this crappy-sounding instrument. I hope you see where I'm coming from. This instrument was also in use in ancient Persia and Turkey, and I'm guessing probably not so ancient Egypt; probably ancient (Arabic) Egypt, long after the pharaoes had disappeared. So be careful about anything called Egyptian. It may not be what you think it is. Yes, the ancient Egyptians painted themselves playing some wind instrument on their now ancient walls, but did it sound as crappy as this flute. it really sounds aweful. You can hear much nicer American Indian and ancient Chinese wind instruments. This one sounds bad.
When I get this one, I'll be able to create something

quote by Thankfulperform healing with certain sound frequencies


In today's medicine, machines are built to generate the Fibonacci frequency of only 528 Hz, as if it was the 'Dó5 (523)' a little higher up, and that is being used to repair the DNA. Some have named it as 'The Miracle of 528 Hz'.
Whether the instrument is Egyptian or not, what is known is that Egypt exploded culture to all sides, as the same with all Asian culture, in my opinion, there were two huge cultural big waves, Egypt and Asia exploded one each other at a certain moment in history, then Greece appears, and things get mixed, then it will be difficult to pinpoint facts. So that instrument MAY have ended elsewhere in the 'Middle East', for there the oldest documents of the 'Ney' are in Egypt, and that the Greeks had absolute influence from Egyptians and gave origin to the 'Pan god' and his 'pan flute'.
