TOY
GLOCKENSPIEL

by Sluca

This is a 2 octaves (G4->G6) Toy Glockenspiel with

plastic resonating box and metal plates.



It was recorded in stereo with two paired condenser

mics at 24 Bit/96 Khz. The samples were processed

(mainly high-pass filtered and little denoised) and then

downsampled at 16 Bit/44 Khz.



The glockenspiel was cromatically played with its own

plastic mallets at 3 dynamic ranges (p, f, ff) and then

mapped in crossfaded velocity layers for a total of 75

single-hit samples.



The kit includes also a considerable number of (up and

down) glissandi played at different speeds and strenghts

and a couple of Fx. These samples were not normalized

to preserve the natural dynamic of the instrument.
