Recorded at 96KHz/24-bit stereo, this collection of sounds brings you 463 sampler-based metal mallet strikes creating five full sets of samples mapped to a Kontakt 5 patch. As opposed to playing the piano normally, these sounds were created by striking the string with a metal mallet, creating a harsher attack. The five different samplers offer you a wide variety of durations:
- Damped instantly (84 sounds; five octaves)
- Damped after 1 second (97 sounds; seven octaves)
- Damped after 2 seconds (97 sounds; seven octaves)
- Damped after 5 seconds (88 sounds; six octaves)
- Sustained fully (97 sounds; seven octaves)
This version is sampled at 96kHz/24-bit.
