THE INSTRUMENT. The Bandoneon choosed for sampling is an historic Alfred Arnold of 50s. 40 keys on the right hand 32 notes in left hand.
RECORDING Take it! I recorded the Bandoneon with a Neumann TLM103 large diaphragm microphone thru an amazing Apogee Symphony I/O converter with its own Mic Preamp card for the best audio resolution and musical details. All the 440 samples are in 96kHz/24bit resolution!
ANALYSIS. Observation! By a careful analysis of the sound PSound found a great variation of the harmonic spectrum during the dynamic range of the reeds. This fact depends on the high quality of the hand made reeds of the instrument. Yes, PSound tried to reproduce this amazing feature!
LAYERS & FILTERS. Composing the sound. PSound used 4 dynamic layers and 2 round-robins for each note of the instrument.
