Bollywood Sounds has released Bollywood Harmonium, a virtual harmonium instrument for UVI Workstation.
Harmonium usually belongs to the family of free-reed aerophones. The instrument is a small, tabletop size, organ which has bellows at the back that is pumped by one hand while the other hand plays the keyboard. A standard Harmonium always has a wooden box known as body, handles to move the instrument, bellows, keys, stops (main and drone), reeds, reed board, coupler and scale changer. Today in India it is widely used in all forms of Indian music be it classical, Hindustani, devotional or film music.
A high quality Harmonium with full sound range and keyboard has 39 keys and thus supplies a tonal range of 3 octaves, 4 adjustable drones are possible. The Double reeds make sure that every tone is supplied with two reeds (for medium and lower octave). Three variations with different settings can be achieved by blowing the reeds either separately or together.
Bollywood Harmonium: This is one of our finest sampled “Harmonium” Virtual Instrument. Pristinely recorded at Beatfactory Studios New Delhi by Music Producer, Gaurav Dayal and Studio Engineer, Rajat Nagpal.
The library is available for purchase for $79 USD.
