The latest release for Organic Instruments’ Elemental Player software instrument platform captures a toy glockenspiel, and as with the host player, is available to download for free.
Glockenspiel’s GUI follows the same format as the company’s previous releases, offering a simple set of controls in a compact and user-friendly layout. A Dynamics section allows users to control the gain, panning and velocity range of the core samples, and is followed by an ADSR Envelope module. There’s also a built-in reverb effect equipped with Size, Width, Damp and Dry/Wet parameters. The company say that the instrument was recorded in a bedroom with a range of different mallets including plastic, wooden and felted, all of which can be selected from a Sound section to the right of the plug-in, along with dampened and deadened articulations.
Organic Instruments are currently running a sale on their Elemental Studio platform — the same tool which the company use to create their own instrument range — for those who have any of the company’s existing products in their account at the time of checkout.
