Dulcius

The samples in Dulcius were performed and recorded by musician Nuno Silva. The library currently includes one instrument, a Persian Santur, however we will be expanding it with more instruments.

We recorded this library playing a variety of articulations. The samples were then mapped and scripted in such a way as to make it easy to perform the instrument with a MIDI keyboard.

The final result is a virtual instrument that is just as enjoyable to play as the real thing.

The articulations we recorded give you everything you need to craft a highly realistic performance. Including longs, damped, strike and mute, harmonics, dorab, and rizz.

All of the articulations, with the exception of the harmonics and damped, have been sampled at three dynamic levels. These can be controlled using note on velocity. In addition the rizz (tremolo) articulation can be dynamically crossfaded using a continuous controller.

With the exception of rizz, all the articulations include two round robin repetition samples. This is coupled with a scripted repetition engine to produce endless variations of each note.
