Cinematique Instruments: Alto Glockenspiel Essential
We are excited to introduce the free Alto Glockenspiel Essential by Cinematique Instruments for HALion and HALion Sonic, which provides you with the original sound of the legendary Glockenspiel but adds some fresh effects to turn the sound into something new. This sampled model has a one octave lower range than a usual Glockenspiel, resulting in much softer and mellow sounds.
Recorded with Thin Sticks and Soft Mallets
The instrument was recorded by beating the metal bars of the Glockenspiel with thin sticks (hard articulation) as well as soft mallets (gentle articulation) in two or three dynamic layers and three Round Robin variations. This enables musicians to create a range of tonal possibilities, from bright and percussive to warm and mellow.
Transforming the Sound into Something from Another World
With the included cabinet simulation, a rotary simulation, a tone control, a length control, and reverb and delay amount, it is very easy to transform the sound into something from another world. The cabinet simulation allows you to choose from a range of different cabinet types to alter the tonal character of the instrument, while the rotary simulation adds a subtle and organic movement to the sound.
The tone control enables you to shape the overall tonal balance of the instrument, while the length control allows you to adjust the length of the notes. This is particularly useful for creating ambient textures and pads. The reverb and delay amount allows you to add space and depth to the sound, making it perfect for cinematic soundscapes and atmospheric compositions.
