Jazz Rhythm Section · Chartwrite Sounds

Sale Price: $20.00 Original Price: $30.00

Launch price: $20 until November 17. Then $30.

A real jazz rhythm section for MuseScore 4’s own playback. Five sampled instruments, leveled to sound like one band. No plugin, no subscription — local files you own.

MuseScore’s built-in sounds weren’t made for small-group jazz. These were. I’m a working jazz saxophonist and teacher, and I built these so my own charts sound like a band when I hit play.

Grand Piano — concert grand in two tones: Felt (warm, default) and Classic. Pedal markings play real pedal-down recordings.

Upright Bass — pizzicato upright, 4 dynamic layers, Eb1 to G4.

Jazz Brushes — real brush swirls, taps and accents, with a ready-made ballad groove.

Jazz Sticks — a swing kit on sticks, with two ride-bell sounds written as their own named notes.

Vibraphone — classic motor tremolo (default), plus soft and hard mallets.

Included: .sf3 files for MuseScore 4; a MuseScore template with all five instruments already set up; starter scores and drumset files with named swirl and bell notes; demo scores “Sometimes It Feels Good To Be Blue” and “Chartwrite Demo Tune” (.mscz + MP3); a 2-minute install guide.

Works with MuseScore 4 on Mac and Windows. Made for MuseScore, not for DAWs.

License: use the sounds in any music you make, including commercial releases; no credit required. One user; the sound files themselves may not be shared or resold.
