PSound has announced Vintage Accordion, a new virtual instrument based on a vintage Italian accordion made in Castelfidardo in the 60’s.
To realized it I made a deep study about its special sound. I love that sound and all its expressive variations! To capture its soul I worked with amazing technical tools (from microphones to sound card, from editing software to developement system)!
I recorded, edited and looped almost 1300 waveforms for a total of 2GB of memory storage. All samples are perfectly looped. I recorded all the registers of my accordion, all the keys for 4 velocity layers and 2 round robin.
I adopted a filter to simulate the harmonic variation of sounds during its dynamic range. I separately recorded the key-on and key-off noises for a more realistic sound! Now I can tell: “Yes! This is its real sound!”.
The library will be available for purchase soon, priced at 119 EUR.
