QanunA renowned Arabian relative of the zither, famous for its unique, melodramatic sound
OudLiterally “wood” — the key instrument across Middle Eastern and North African traditional and popular music for centuries, even millenniums in its region of origin

What a color isTwelve individual color presets, all radically different in character, incorporating various effect settings and multiple impulse responses

The oud has no frets and the qanun has levers. One bends pitch with a finger, the other steps it in quarter tones with a latch — which is why the two together cover a scale that neither reaches alone.
