在阿拉伯音乐中，乌木被认为是最古老的乐器之一。事实上，在中东，它在音乐传统中扮演着重要的角色。尽管这种乐器的起源尚不确定，但乌德琴的流行已遍及地中海、北非和东非以及中东，直到今天它仍然很受欢迎。在西方世界，乌德琴可能最为人所知的是欧洲琵琶的先驱。
阿拉伯乌木图书馆是与著名音乐家和乌木演奏家 Bassam Ayoub 密切合作创建的。Bassam Ayoub 演奏并录制了所有演奏变奏，主要强调实现真实的声音，无论是旋律演奏还是节奏伴奏。
阿拉伯乌德琴提供令人惊叹的 39 种力度层和多达 8 个循环演奏，让最古老的弦乐器之一触手可及。多用途的声谱覆盖了总共 3 种录制的乐器，可以丰富任何类型的音乐，并且集成的微调非常吸引专业的木卡姆表演者!由于其广泛的演奏风格，Arabic Oud 非常适合录音室和现场表演。

In Arabic music, the Oud is considered one of the oldest musical instruments; in fact, in the Middle East it plays an important role in musical tradition. Although the origins of this instrument are uncertain, the popularity of the Oud has spread across the Mediterranean, North and East Africa and the Middle East, where it is still very popular to this day. In the Western World, the Oud is probably best known as the forerunner of the European lute.
The Arabic Oud Library was created in close collaboration with the renowned musician and Oud virtuoso Bassam Ayoub. Bassam Ayoub performed and recorded all playing variations with the main emphasis on achieving an authentic sound, both for melodic playing and rhythmic accompaniment.
The Arabic Oud offers breathtaking 39 articulations with velocity layers and up to 8 Round Robins and brings one of the oldest string instruments to life right under your fingertips. The versatile sound spectrum, which extends over a total of 3 recorded instruments, can enrich any kind of music and the integrated microtunings are very appealing to professional Maqam performers! Because of its wide range of playing styles, the Arabic Oud is ideal for both studio and live performances.
The Engine
The Arabic Oud transports the sound of the Middle East into todays DAW-based production environment. The Engine Player’s carefully programmed interface makes it really easy to work with the library, allowing you to be inspired by the sound of the Arabic Oud and unleash your creativity.
The Arabic Oud user interface gives you access to the most important and commonly used microtunings of oriental music: Bayati, Rast, Saba and Seka. Each tuning offers two variants (Normal and Syriac Church) as well as free choice of the root key.
The Keyswitches allow you to switch between the different playing techniques to create incredibly realistic performances. There are two types of keyswitches: latch and hold. While Latch Keyswitches remain active after the key is released, Hold Keyswitches remain active only as long as they are pressed and held by the player – after the key is released, the playing mode changes to the last selected Latch Keyswitch.
The green Midi Song Keys above the playing area provide short Midi sequences which showcase the numerous playing possibilities of the Arabic Oud. (See the Info tab for more information about the correct speed and tuning for each midi performance)
Syrian-born Bassam Ayoub, musician and singer, has toured with various bands across many Arabic countries and Europe. He has worked with countless artists, as well as with renowned oriental keyboard and expander manufacturers such as Korg, Farfisa and Limex.
