REQ: Best Service ERA II Medieval Legends

The English Harpsichord library presents an instrument built by Jacob Kirckman in 1766. Due to its two manuals and many registers, the Kirckman harpsichord offers lots of unqiue sounds, sampled with 6 different register combinations, including the upper 8', lower 8' (principal 8'), both 8' together, the 4' register, the lute stop as well as the nasale stop only available with Kirckman instruments.

'Bass Guitar Collection' from Realsamples brings the sound of a Warwick® Streamer™ electric bass to your sampler with all its full bottom end glory. The bass was recorded directly through a Mindprint® DTC™ high quality channel-strip.

There is barely another instrument to combine both zeitgeist and timelessness in the way a spinet does: Despite being around for centuries already, its sound is still relevant in many musical territories, while at the same time being inextricably connected to the musical works of its time.

'Harpsichord' library by Realsamples contains a harpsichord built in 1988, a reproduction of Ruckers harpsichord from around 1640.The harpsichord, predecessor of the piano, still has its special place not only within classical music, but also in modern productions.

The lutheal is probably one of the rarest piano instruments in existence – with only one original instrument being left. Invented by the Belgian George Cloetens, it uses a grand piano as its basis and allows to change the tone of the piano by applying the Lutheal mechanism. Built in 1922, it has been completely restored and resides at the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) in Brussels.

No matter if you like to rock hard or if you only want to beef up some hiphop tracks, this might be your ticket: the Overdriven Guitar Collection contains single notes of a Gibson SG guitar recorded in its classic overdriven sound.

Real Drums Collection' by Realsamples contains a Pearl™ drum set with two snare drums (wood & brass), ride, crash & splash cymbals. The drums have been sampled with up to 110 velocity layers.
