Product Overview

This technique enhances the instrument's natural resonance, resulting in a more musical and accurate intonation, making it suitable for expressive solo lines in various scoring contexts.

Details

The library features a monophonic legato articulation with sustained notes and same-note repetitions, recorded in a hall environment. It employs close mic positions alongside section, Decca, outrigger, and ambient mics, allowing for a range of tonal options. The dynamic level is roughly espressivo forte, providing a rich and intimate timbre that retains key and mechanical details.

Legato transitions are designed to be smooth, although users may notice a delay of approximately 180 ms, which is tied to the instrument's timbral sensitivity. The recordings have undergone a post-production process to enhance their usability, though some pre-note ambience and instrument noise may be present, particularly in the longer sustains. This library is built for Kontakt 6.8.0 and above, ensuring compatibility with modern workflows.
