Feature Overview
The Performers - Virtuosic performances at your fingertips
Intro Price Ends June 12th 2026 Normal Price 82 € excl. VAT
Continuing Strezov Sampling's boutique The Performers series, focusing on virtuosic musical performances not possible to create with traditional multisampling methods, "Anna" brings everyone back to the roots of Bulgarian folklore and allows them to access our country's unique female throat singing once more after Rhodope 2's success. Recorded in the Sofia Session Studio and later mixed down to three mic positions (Close, Decca and Hall).
All performances are wrapped together in a brandnew NI Kontakt based engine allowing the user to freely map all phrases and musical parts of phrases to their liking, thus creating new combinations beyond the well known layouts.
In order to ensure maximum usability and flexibility all performances were recorded with click at various tempi and on wholetone scale within one octave. You are not limited to certain tempi or keys with this collection. In addition to that, The Performers - Anna also comes with open .wav files to import all performances into the DAW or sampler of your choice.
Anna Asenova is a captivating Bulgarian folk vocalist whose voice embodies the raw beauty, power, and emotional depth of the Shopluk and Graovo traditions (and folklore regions). With a performance style rooted deeply in authentic Bulgarian folklore, she brings centuries-old musical heritage to life through expressive phrases, haunting ornaments, and unmistakable vocal character. Her artistry blends tradition with cinematic emotion, making her voice equally compelling on the concert stage and in modern music production.
MORE THAN 60 PHRASES FROM ANCIENT BULGARIAN FOLKLORE TRADITION
The collection includes over 60 phrases (unmeasured, regular and irregular rhythmic forms) from the ancient Bulgarian folklore tradition.

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.
