The instrument
The Glockenspiel is a percussion instrument, composed of a set of tuned
metal bars resting over a frame like a trough. The Alto Glockenspiel is a
variation of it with an one octave lower range, which sounds more soft
and mellow. The rcorded Alto Glockenspiel was the legendary red model
of Hohner™
What we did
The instrument was recorded by beating the metall bars of the
glockenspiel with thin sticks (hard articulation) as well as soft mallets
(gentle articulation) in 2 or 3 dynamic layers and three Round Robin
variations.
Finally a lot of interesting and inspiring features were added giving you a
wide range of tools to vary and change the sound at your own
requirement such as an cabinet simulation, a rotary simulation, a tone
control, a length control and reverb and delay amount. With these
possibilities it is very easy to transform the normal glockenspiel sound
into other worlds of sound.
