Product Overview

Harpsichord captures the distinctive timbre of this Baroque instrument, offering a full and charismatic sound suitable for both classical and modern cinematic compositions. The library features three registers, allowing for a rich palette of tonal colors, including a unique "buff" stop for a softer tone.

The instrument is meticulously recorded in the Sofia Session Studio, utilizing various microphone positions including Close, Mid, Decca, and Hall. This setup provides flexibility in mixing, enabling you to adjust the perceived space and character of the sound. Each register can be combined in different ways, with key switches for easy access to these combinations during performance.

Performance controls include options for modern tuning at 440Hz or traditional baroque tuning at 415Hz, as well as a toggle for release samples. The interface allows for volume adjustments, stereo width control, and the ability to designate outputs for each microphone position. This attention to detail ensures that the Harpsichord can fit seamlessly into a variety of scoring contexts, from intimate chamber music to expansive orchestral arrangements.
