Introduced in 1971 by the German company Hohner -- mostly known for their melodicas and harmonicas -- came the Hohner Model D6. Hohner had released some models before this, and would release some after the D6, but this was without question THE model to have! It has appeared on thousands of recordings and has become the funky trademark of countless artists such as Stevie Wonder on his hit Superstition.By using the disk streaming technique, it has been possible for the first time to reproduce the tone and feel of the original Hohner D6. This sampled instrument has all of the possible tonal presets, sampled at 3 different velocities and with 3 different damper settings. The Hohner D6 has been sampled in thirds, that is, C, D#, F# and A has been sampled for the entire range of the keyboard giving a total more then 1000 samples! The sampled instruments contain no loops!!! All samples are left with its natural decay. This is truly the mother of all sampled D6's!
