Enjoy Samples has introduced a new Kontakt instrument library featuring the sounds of an old Jeu de Timbre created by Auguste Mustel, the inventor of the Celesta.
Also known as the Keyboard Glockenspiel, it was used in many masterpieces : Daphnis et Chloé (Ravel), La Mer (Debussy), l’Apprenti Sorcier (Dukas) to name a few. This instrument has a more precise and sparkling sound than the Glockenspiel. You’ll also appreciate the organic feel of its hammers.
We designed the patches to sound good out of the box. « Daphnis et Chloé » is perfect if you want to put the instrument behind the orchestra while « The Apprentice » offers a closer and more defined sound (which can also be used in orchestral context). We designed two additional patches named velocity to attack which make the instrument more responsive than the real one, allowing you to perform soft attack when you play gently.
Jeu de Timbre for Kontakt 6.7.1. or higher (full version) is available to purchase for 15 EUR.
