Reproduction of an historic Alfred Arnold Bandoneon

The Bandoneon choosen for sampling is an historic Alfred Arnold of 50s.with 40 keys on the right hand and 32 notes on left hand.

The Bandoneon was recorded with a Neumann TLM103 large diaphragm microphone thru an 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!

By careful analysis of the sound PSound found a great variation of the harmonic spectrum during the dynamic range of the reeds. This variation depends on the high quality of the hand made reeds of the instrument. They tried to reproduce this amazing feature!

There are 4 dynamic layers and 2 round-robins for each note of the instrument. All the samples of the Bandoneon are perfectly looped with "DSPQuattro" audio editing software. In this way, you can play very long notes from your instruments without interruptions.
