OVERVIEW

Alto Glockenspiel is a concert mallet percussion library for Kontakt & Decent Sampler, featuring a 25-key alto glockenspiel and 7-key toy glockenspiel. The GUI offers a variety of articulations, microphone mixing, FX rack, arp and sound-designed ambiences to layer and shape.

Alto Glockenspiel

The Alto Glockenspiel was captured from a close, dry stereo position and a far, wide position out in a large cathedral, so you've got two very different flavors to work with. These distinct instrument articulation and microphone sets can be independently loaded and controlled, providing you with lots of tonal and atmospheric flavors to layer and shape.

We recorded the alto glockenspiel with 3 different articulations: hard mallet, soft mallet and choked. We've also rolled in our classic little children's toy glockenspiel library as a bonus. Each articulation has several dynamic layers and plenty of round-robin variation to create a very dynamic and naturally playable virtual instrument.

The Kontakt interface includes a suite of automation-ready sound-shaping controls to give you total creative flexibility. You have control over swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, pitch (coarse & fine), articulation switching, cross-fading and layering, and so much more.

Pan the sounds anywhere on the virtual sound stage for total spatial control.

This library includes a flexible LFO system with tempo sync, assignable modulation targets, and a selection of 12 filters for shaping motion and tone. A customizable arpeggiator and built in key and scale lock make it easy to create musical patterns quickly and stay in key.
