KONTAKT | 1.76 GB
Charles’ Dulcimer is a beautiful hammered dulcimer with a full, bright tone and a rich resonating sound, sampled by Luis Filipe Costa.
The sample library is 3.3GB in size and comes with 3 mic perspectives and 7 round robins, making it a beautiful sounding instrument.

3 Microphone Positions to Choose From – Close, Room & Ambient
Charles’ Dulcimer was sampled with three different mic positions: a close perspective, a room and an ambient/hall perspective. The Close perspective consists of a pair of cardiods (Shure SM57) spaced about 1 to 2 feet apart facing down about two inches away from the dulcimer. With this perspective I intended to get a very detailed and clear recording, a clear first attack of the note, the string and hammer noise.

The Room perspective is an X/Y configuration of small diaphragm condensers (AKG C1000) for at about 3 feet away from the instrument, placing the instrument in a room while still managing to get a clean, bright sound due to the sensitive nature of the condenser microphones.

The Ambient perspective is a Large diaphragm dynamic microphone (Sennheiser MD421) placed 6 to 8 feet away from the instrument to capture the sound of the hall and the tail/decay of the instrument.

Luis has over five years of experience composing and producing his own works for picture. He owns a Masters Degree in Music, an Edexcel approved sound engineering certificate and has been working as a composer for highly creative and dedicated teams on a wide variety of projects, from animation to drama, from documentary features to advertising.
