The sound of the Kantele is unique and useful in many music genres, both for strumming and arpeggio style playing and melodies. The Finnish Concert Kantele Sample Set is a 36 stringed (A#0 to A#5) concert Kantele recorded in stereo in 4 velocity layers and 4 round robin layers per velocity layer. We recorded 3 types of articulations/picking styles:
Sustained (4 velocity layers, 4 round robin layers)
Damped (4 velocity layers, 4 round robin layers)
Sticks (1 velocity layer, 2 round robin layers)
The tonal range of the programs is B0-C6.
All 1160 stereo samples were recorded at 24 bits, and 44.1 sample rate. The total size of the library uncompressed is 2.56GB.
