This is the home of the worlds first multi-sampled rare and beautiful 150 (ish) year old DULCITONE,
and infact one of the few ways you can listen to what one actually sounds like.
Originally designed and manufactured in Scotland in the 1800′s, and with allegedly only 2000 in existence the DULCITONE is a portable keyboard that was made for missionaries to hump around remote african village churches to help perk up hymn services. It has a very basic piano action with spring loaded felt covered hammers striking small magnet shaped tuning forks. Its a bit like a Fender Rhodes electric piano without the electric bits, and has a very lovely woody, clonky glockenspiel/celesta kind of sound.
These things are starting to become deeply fashionable, especially amongst “with it” film composers looking for something with a bit of character in a Tom Waits or Bjorky kinda way ( Jon Brion uses dulcitone extensively on his soundtracks of Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind .)
This is your chance to to play my lovingly sampled 150 year old antique Dulcitone in all its glory. 70megs, 3 velocity layers and some fancy programming ( Kontakt, Ableton and Reason Combinator formats ) but without the slightly iffy forks and sticking keyboard.
Available as Kontakt 2/3/4/5 ( full Kontakt needed ), EXS, Ableton Sampler, Reason, SFZ ( imports into Alchemy Player) and Soundfont formats.
