Product Overview

Mountain Dulcimer focuses on an immediate, playable mountain dulcimer tone built for real‑world scoring. It emphasizes connected phrasing and a natural dynamic window so melodies, textures, and supportive lines sit comfortably in a mix. The instrument stays practical—legato that feels alive, shorts that avoid repetition, and straightforward shaping over timbre and expression.

Details

The engine centers on connected legato transitions for the mountain dulcimer, supported by complementary short articulations so you can move between lyrical phrases and rhythmic punctuation without switching contexts. Dynamics are continuous and easy to shape; timbre controls let you bias brightness/softness or add subtle mechanical/air detail when the source warrants it. Round‑robins on repeats help avoid the ‘machine‑gun’ effect, and mapping keeps common performance gestures close at hand.

Natural pick/finger noise and sympathetic overtones add realism to folk‑leaning cues. The instrument is designed to sit quickly in a mix: start dry and intimate, then open up with ambience or gentle tonal broadening when you need scale. Controls are intentionally few but musical, prioritizing phrasing and feel over deep menu diving so you can stay in writing mode.
