Experience the rich, layered sound of the Cinematique Instruments Hammered Dulcimer v2, a meticulously crafted Kontakt instrument that brings the enchanting tones of this classic stringed instrument straight to your digital studio. With its 62 trapezoidal strings, this virtual instrument captures the authentic essence of the hammered dulcimer, allowing musicians to explore its unique sonic character with ease.

Crafted with precision, the Hammered Dulcimer v2 offers three distinct articulations: the traditional "Mallet" for classic strikes, "Sticks" for a percussive edge, and "Muted" for a softened, palm-damped effect. Each articulation is recorded in 4 round robin variations and up to 4 velocity layers, providing a dynamic and realistic performance. Two microphone positions, utilizing Neumann U87s in a stereo setup, ensure a broad and immersive soundscape, with customizable mixing options to suit your creative needs.

The instrument also features an innovative tremolo system, allowing you to create organic roll-like tremolos with either key release duplication or mod-wheel control. This flexibility, combined with built-in effects like reverb, delay, and distortion, provides a versatile toolkit for adding depth and character to your compositions.

Whether you're using it for solo performances or as a textural layer in your tracks, the Hammered Dulcimer v2 enriches your music with an authentic, organic feel.
