Product Overview

Dulcitonium captures the essence of the dulcitone, transforming its unique timbre into a collection of ethereal sounds that evoke the fading ghosts of ancient instruments. This library offers a blend of traditional dulcitone tones and innovative processing techniques, resulting in a rich, atmospheric palette suitable for ambient and experimental compositions.

Details

The library features six articulations, including short percussive hits and elongated, stretched tones, all recorded with a focus on capturing the dulcitone's woody character. Each sample is treated as an impulse response for convolution reverb, allowing for a wide range of sonic textures. The collection includes 850 stereo samples, with 70 snapshots to facilitate quick access to different soundscapes.

Performance controls include sample start and loop length adjustments, BPM-synced modulation for pan, volume, vibrato, and chorus, as well as low and high pass filters. The convolution reverb offers 24 custom impulses, enhancing the depth and spatial quality of the sounds. Additional effects such as delay and distortion can be applied, providing further flexibility in shaping the final output.

Dulcitonium is particularly well-suited for scoring atmospheric scenes, where its unique tonal qualities can add depth and intrigue. The combination of traditional sounds with modern processing techniques makes it a valuable tool for composers seeking to explore new sonic territories.
