Angelic Zither is a handmade 15-string, pre-80's zither from the Republic of Belarus (a little west of Russia). The zither's strings are tuned diatonically in the key of G, but the samples are stretched to cover the instrument's range chromatically. Although it only spans two octaves (stretched to 4 octaves total), this zither has a gorgeous, magical tone.

We sampled the zither using a close dynamic mic and a pair of small diaphragm condenser mics as a stereo overhead, and you can blend between these two signals to get the tone you're after. The sample library has 3 dynamics, from soft, delicate notes to loud, resonant plucking, each with 3 alternating round-robin samples. The release samples have three round-robins and three dynamics as well, capturing the slight buzzing sound that the string makes when muted.

This is great fun, even the notes above the native range are sweet.
A zither was one of my first 'real' Christmas gifts, I think age 6, ballpark,
and it was like magic, for a child. Along with the black keys on
grandmas ancient square-grand piano, it provided blissful childhood mysticism.
So it will be very rejuvinating to play your version. Plucked/strummed sounds fit in a
surprisingly wide range of music 8)
Cheers

Greg,
Angelic Zither just went straight to the top of my to-buy Kontakt libraries.
And once again, the audio demos are stellar. Congratulations for this wonderful release!
