Details

The instrument features five presets, including sustained, damped, and tremolo articulations, allowing for a range of expressive performances. It was performed by renowned percussionist Greg Knowles and recorded at AIR Studios in London. The library provides three mic signals: a close option for added definition, a Tree configuration for a spacious sound, and a Pitched signal that lowers the ambient tone by an octave, creating a deep, atmospheric effect.

Control over attack and decay times enhances the instrument's versatility, enabling it to shift from realistic cimbalom sounds to eerie textural elements seamlessly. This makes the library suitable for both primary melodic roles and as an additional layer in orchestral arrangements, enriching the overall sonic palette.
