FILTER
Choose between LP, BP & HP filters and add modulation.
FX RACK
All you need to create a great skank. Shape, modulate and spacialize.
KEYSWITCHES
Special keys to switch between Major and Minor chords and to 'play' send FXs
GUITAR SECTION
Set up your guitar tone : from dark & soft to bright & punchy.
AMP & CAB
Add character with a Cab. There are 8 different Cabs from Kontakt, and the option to load your own IR samples.
PLAY IT LIVE
When you press a key, you strum the guitar down. When you release the key, you strum the guitar up.
The Kontakt 6 version of The Skank takes advantage of the newly integrated NI FXs.
Please note that Kontakt 5 FX will be slightly different. You can compare them here :
DYNAMICS
Shape the dynamics of your skank. Use it if you need more bite. I added a transient Attack parameter to make it even sharper.
MODULATION
Chorus & Phaser. Widen your guitar or make it move. I put an option to 'send' the phaser to the delays and reverbs.
EQ
Enjoy Kontakt's SSL EQ effect. You know what that's for...
(These are Kontakt 6 newly added FX’s. Kontakt 5 uses legacy effects.)
TAPE DELAY
Use a classic old-school Tape dealy effect. Its efficiency has been proven over the years.
DIGITAL DELAY
If you need to delay things a bit more, you can choose between several dealy types.
REVERBS
Space things up with these reverbs : you have Room, Hall, Plate & Convolution reverbs, just pick one !

Tired of spending hours looking for the right reggae guitar loop which will match your song ? Me too. Few years ago I started making Reggae & Dub Music and I was disappointed to see there was no vst to get that particular skank sound…
So I decided to create it.
I sampled an ESP guitar with split-pickups to get homogeneous samples.
And here it is : A kontakt library for all reggae & dub producers !
You can go from old-school Reggae & Ska Music to the Sound of Modern Dub & Electro. It works great with HipHop & Trap too.

Le Skank will give you Reggae chops for days. The numerous settings/parameters included can and does refine you sounds in a plethora of ways, but with one slight drawback/omission which I raised in my YouTube review [thus the 4 stars], that being the lack of a two-chord/sustain pass feature, as that style is a ‘rub-a-dub standard’ in Reggae guitar playing. Other than that. I do like the sound and the other options available on Le Skank very much. My guitarist in my band still has a job, but only just lol
Just kidding…..Le Skank gives you an instant Reggae vibe when a real live guitarist is not available or in your production budget. An ideal addition to your guitar plugin collection nonetheless

Great Guitar Plugin for Reggae / Dub. Very fun to play in an instinctive way. The sound is great and the tools (Fx’s, etc) are great to achive an unique and distinctive sound. I recommend it. Dubmaster Conte. http://www.dubmasterconte.com

Early days yet for me using Le Skank in Logic Pro X, but already it is a long-term favourite. The presets are varied and effective and the effects are wonderful. I use it with Basstone Dub Bass and the plugin Dubstation on other instruments and suddenly I am my own Mad Professor. Thanks SoundFingers for such great value and quality.

Totally awesome… beats me hands down when as non guitar player I was struggling to record a single correct loop on my demos :p Tried the full version I got from a plugin website, then as I was totally satisfied I had to come here and buy it to support the developer. Big big up! Jah jah rules!
