Albanju is a unique banjo sample instrument designed to bring authentic Middle Eastern tonal qualities to your music. It features two distinct Middle Eastern banjos, each recorded twice—once with a guitar pick and once with finger plucking—resulting in four diverse tonal options. These tones can be blended to create rich and original banjo sounds that capture an ethnic vibe without complexity.

The instrument offers an intuitive interface divided into three main sections: a top panel for in-depth effects adjustments and preset browsing, a middle section dedicated to sampler engine controls for precise sound shaping, and a bottom panel for quick effects tweaks. This streamlined design enables easy navigation and fast sound sculpting, allowing producers to focus on creativity rather than technical hurdles. Minimal built-in effects encourage the use of familiar external plugins for further sound enhancement.

Albanju is a lightweight plugin that delivers powerful sounds without burdening your CPU, making it suitable for a wide range of production setups. It comes with 10 factory presets, supports both Windows and Mac platforms with VST3 and AU formats, and offers a straightforward installation process. Compatible with most digital audio workstations except Pro Tools, Albanju is ideal for musicians seeking fresh, culturally inspired banjo tones that stand out.
