About
Wellencraft
Wellencraft is a company that develops Sample Libraries, Virtual Instruments and Plugins for music and sound creation. We also offer a boutique Production Music Library for Film, TV and Video Games.
Our main motivation is to develop novel virtual instruments in the field of sampling libraries to offer the public attractive and easy to use products. We are also motivated and influenced by our Colombian and Latin American roots, the typical music of these regions, to preserve the musical heritage of our ancestors and prevent it from being forgotten. We wish to impregnate all this in the final product and in the process of musical creation, making them something intuitive, enjoyable and effective.
With a musical, musicological and technical knowledge of music, we, Wellencraft, are proud to offer our services to the public, starting this year 2022.
Wishing you a productive and long-lasting relationship,
Yours,
Jorge Porras and Joshua Porras
