Details

The library features a comprehensive sampling of the harpsichord, recorded with three distinct mic positions: close, Decca, and outrigger. This allows for flexible blending to suit different arrangements. All notes are sampled without pitch shifting, and the instrument includes four round robins to enhance realism. Time-based release samples contribute to the natural decay of notes, ensuring a faithful representation of the instrument's behavior.

A full mixer is included, enabling independent control over each mic position, with options for panning, volume, and phase shifting. The effects page allows for the addition of various processing tools, including EQ, compression, and reverb, enhancing the sonic capabilities of the library. Settings for dynamic range, velocity curve, and release sample volume provide further customization, making it easy to tailor the instrument to specific scoring needs.
