The library features single notes, one-shot rolls, and sustained rolls, all controlled by velocity and mod wheel for expressive playability. Captured in a resonant concert hall, Dulciano provides three mic perspectives: Close for crisp hammer strikes, Mid for balanced warmth, and Far for an ethereal quality. The Perspective slider allows for easy blending of these mixes, while dedicated faders enable individual mic adjustments.

With up to 12 round robins, the instrument ensures authentic performance, and intuitive sound-shaping controls like the Colour slider and Damping dial allow for tailored tonal adjustments. This makes Dulciano a versatile choice for composers seeking a distinctive sound that bridges traditional and contemporary styles.
