Majetone releases Extended Glockenspiel for Kontakt

Majetone has released Extended Glockenspiel for Kontakt.

They say:

We here at Majetone like recording acoustic instruments with techniques that are difficult or impossible to play acoustically - take for example 'Pong' - a ping pong ball dropped on to the keys.

The instrument includes regular playing options and additional mic and performance options.

The instrument includes:

• 1800+ samples (24-bit/48k).
• For Kontakt 5.8.1+.
• 8 performance options:
  • Hard - Hard Mallet.
  • Soft - Soft Mallet.
  • Magnet - Single Coil Pickup - think a celeste meets a Rhodes.
  • Ping - A ping pong ball on a stick played as a mallet.
  • Pong - A ping pong ball dropped on the key.
  • Bow - Bowed with a cello bow.
  • Tape - A physical tape tremolo with an 80's Fisher Price Cassette Recorder.
  • Stretch - Digitally stretched, giving a granular/digital synthesis texture.
