Orange Tree Samples Evolution 10 String Stick v1.2.5 KONTAKT screenshot
KONTAKT - 6,12 GB
Looking like an instrument from the future, the Chapman Stick has a range and playability reminiscent of a piano, combined with the expressiveness and tone of a guitar/bass hybrid. The Stick is held vertically and played with both hands using a technique known as tapping. Rather than plucking or using a pick, tapping involves rapidly pressing the strings into the frets to cause notes to sound. This unique invention has a distinctive, harmonically-rich sound capable of percussive staccatos, sparkling chords, and buttery smooth melodies.


Evolution 10 String Stick lets you experience this truly amazing sound in a virtual capacity, meticulously sampled to recreate all the capabilities of the original instrument.

The standard model Stick features ten strings, divided into a set of five treble strings and five bass strings, giving it a playable range of over 5 octaves. We sampled each string individually, all the way up the instrument’s expansive fretboard. Evolution 10 String Stick automatically determines which strings and frets to use based on adjustable positions for both hands. You can also select where the split point is between the treble and bass ranges on the keyboard. Having factors like these automated make it a breeze to play from a MIDI keyboard, all while sounding natural and authentic.

We developed the library in collaboration with Rosewood Recording Company, one of Utah's most venerable recording studios. Guy Randle, the owner and recording engineer at Rosewood Recording Company, incorporated analog audio equipment to skillfully sculpt and emphasize the rich tonal qualities of the instrument. Evolution 10 String Stick includes both the as-recorded signal as well as an enhanced signal that can be blended to your taste.

We can’t wait for you to explore all the features and presets included in Evolution 10 String Stick and let its unique sound bring inspiration to your musical creations.

This doesn't really sound like the stick I have heard Levin and Alphonso Johnson playing on recordings - getting this from listening to the oem audio sample recordings they have posted on the site. I have been using the Trillian stick for a long time and it sounds more like the sticks I am used to. Will be interesting to compare the two side by side...

the natural highs, without effects, sound synthetic, the bass sounds very attractive, now, with fx, as a chorus it sounds good, the truth is that it is good, I do not know if I would take it as an "electric guitar + bass" but I think it is a good complement, and eye at first glance, I have not lowered it yet, from what I hear in the video, in any case I have already tried several virtual guitar instruments and its weak point is the highs, as you go towards them, they sound less realistic, clear in clean sound, but with fx this goes unnoticed.
If you only look at one side of the coin, you'll never truly know if it's a coin.

After downloading all of the Orange Tree Samples Evolution series posted here, none of them are making any sound for me. I'm using Kontakt 8.2 in Reason 13.1 on a PC running Windows 10. None of them are making any sound. Is anyone else having this problem?
