Studio Mallets includes the instruments celesta, glockenspiel, xylophone, vibraphone, marimba, crotales, temple blocks, lithophone, and stir xylophones. The instruments are also part of Vienna’s Studio Percussion Collection.
Vibraphone, Xylophone, Marimba. The vibraphone is the most mechanically complex and sophisticated of all mallet instruments. It was played with soft, medium and hard mallets, and with a string bow. The modern orchestra xylophone has resonator tubes for each bar, at a range of four octaves. It was recorded with six different types of mallets, including cluster mallets. The marimba is larger and has a warm and pleasing sound. This instrument was played not only with various mallets but also with handles, fingers, fingernails, a superball, and a string bow.
Glockenspiel, Celesta, Lithophone. The German name glockenspiel means “bell play” and refers to the sound of small bells. Its sound is very high and piercing and can be clearly heard even through a full orchestra playing in “tutti”. The celesta, a kind of “keyboard glockenspiel”, is usually played by a pianist. The lithophone is the most commonly known stone instrument, with 15 small round slabs of limestone chromatically arranged on rubber pegs.
Sampling. The library features a full set of articulations for the instruments. Recording the samples relatively dry at the Silent Stage makes it possible to place them on your virtual stage and in the stereo field wherever you like, but also enables you to integrate them with the Synchron Series by using the internal convolution reverb of Vienna Synchron Stage.
