Details

The library features a full set of articulations, including short and long notes, legato, dynamics, and flutter tongue. Each articulation is recorded at the Silent Stage, ensuring a dry and controlled ambience that captures the cimbasso's unique timbre. The instrument maintains a homogeneous sound across its range, providing a mellow and resonant character.

Performance options include repetitions and various attack styles, such as staccato and portato. The mixer presets allow for authentic placement within a virtual orchestral setting, and optional convolution reverb can be applied for added depth. This flexibility makes the Cimbasso suitable for both operatic and symphonic contexts, where clarity and richness are paramount.
