Belarus Winter by Assaf Rinde

Belarus is named after the Belarusian manufacturer (Беларусъ) of upright pianos, founded in 1935 in the (back then) Soviet Union. Due to its low cost it was a common instrument in most of the Bulgarian homes.

Feature Overview

The sample library "Belarus" features a fresh and unique upright piano sound. Most of those pianos were popular not only by being cheap and affordable, but also as being easy to detune and not so 'pure soundingl', compared to a Steinway piano. 

Still we captured the sound of a typical "Belarus" right after tuning (and as you can hear the tuning is not perfect because the instrument is quite old) - you can use it in soundtracks, pop music and experimental electronica. 

There is only one mic position, a mixture of 4 mics that were placed as close to the strings as possible. It has 6 dynamic layers and 1 round-robin. The interface has 2 options: 

  • RR mode - borrows neighbour samples
  • REVERSE - plays reverse samples
  • Use MOD Wheel CC#1 to control the built-in low-pass filter

FAQ

Can I use your libraries with the Kontakt Player?

As not all of our products come with unique serial numbers which you are to insert into Native Access, please pay close attention to the products' "Requirements" sections - they can tell you if you can power a certain library through the free Kontakt Player, or if you need to purchase the retail version of Kontakt in order to use the library to its fullest potential (for instance - Architecture of Sound is meant only for the full Kontakt v5.7.1 or higher, while Storm Choir Ultimate can be powered through v5.7.1 or higher for both the full / paid Kontakt and the free Kontakt Player).

Are there payment options other than PayPal at your store?

True, PayPal is our primary processor. But so that people don't feel pressed to use their services if they don't want to, we also accept money orders through Wise (formerly known as TransferWise) and regular bank wire transfers. Just leave your order open and reach out to our support team, please.

I bought one (or more) of your libraries through Native Instruments. Can I have it/them added to my account on your site?

Yes, indeed, please do! That way (assuming you're using different emails for our site and NI's) you'd get higher crossgrade rates to other libraries of ours'. Reach out to our support, and include the invoice you were issued and/or your serial number(s).

Do you offer educational discounts?

Yes, we do! We offer a total of 30% off all single products' full retail prices and, again, a total of 35% off all bundles (Counting the existing discount rates! For example, our CHOIR COLLECTION isn't subject to EDU pricing, as its discount is higher than 35%) . We only request that you provide us with a scanned image of your student / faculty / staff ID and a recently dated document proving that you are currently studying or that you are a faculty/staff member, and send it to support@strezov-sampling.com . And, of course - to save some time, include the product(s) you're interested in and are ready to purchase. Please note that the educational discount is not "stackable" with other offers we might be having at a certain point. And yes, a library's intro pricing is considered a promotional offer, so the same rule applies :)

I completed my order, but didn't receive any download links?

In the new version of our site, all our existing clients have profiles of their own, containing orders, download links for libraries and updates, personal / company information for invoicing, crossgrade options and gift cards. Try yours - we believe you will enjoy having everything in one place! :)

How do I add your libraries to my Native Access profile?

If you haven't received a Native Access serial number with one of the confirmation emails we are sending out, then the library you have purchased is to be treated as "third party" - we can't provide serial numbers for those and so the products aren't visible in the standard "library view" of Kontakt. We can still offer you a workaround for the Strezov Sampling libraries you are using.

Is there a specific OS version I must have in order to power any of your libraries?

Our libraries don't work in standalone mode without Native Instruments Kontakt, so you only need to pay attention to the required Kontakt / Kontakt Player version. If you can open Kontakt's respective version with your current OS, then you can be sure the library will work, as well.
