Alto Glockenspiel

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.

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.

Full retail version of Kontakt 6.6 or later is required to use the Kontakt presets in this library. The free Kontakt Player is not supported.

This library includes presets for the free Decent Sampler engine by Decent Samples (version 1.11.18 or later). Decent Sampler is a powerful platform that offers many of the same core features you'll find in our Kontakt presets, with a broad selection of effects, customization features and host/MIDI automation support. It's compatible with VST, VST3, AAX, Audiounit, Auv3 and Standalone for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Linux.
