Audio Plugin Deals are offering 80% off English Spinet 1718 by Realsamples for a limited time, now only $19.95, (usually $99.95). The offer ends January 29th.
The English Spinet library features an instrument by Thomas Hitchcock in London in 1718. Hitchcocks spinets are widely acknowledged as the best-sounding of their kind.
The instrument was sampled by realsamples as part of them preserving the “Beurmann collection” in Germany. It has a brilliant timbre with majestic warmth and elegance.
Like harpsichords, spinets are not touch-sensitive. However, no key will sound exactly the same twice, due to slight resonances of the instrument. Therefore, realsamples captured 8 variations of per note to transport the liveliness and depth of the instrument. The “key release” sounds add to the lively picture of the instrument: They were recorded with 4 samples per note.
The antique instrument was recorded in its original Valotti tuning at 403 Hz (Presets in 440 Hz are included). The sample library consists of over 700 single recordings.
