Using a set of Hinger Touch Tone timpani with calf heads, this 4-disc library contains every performance nuance to allow the most realistic timpani imaginable. These incredible drums produce tones not possible with any standard drums using conventional heads. 5 mallets from a warm legato cartwheel to wood have been recorded at 8 velocity levels for amazing flexibility and playability. Adding to the realism, both right- and left-hand samples are included to make fast articulate passages flow seamlessly and realistically.Files for each mallet include hits (right and left hands) at 8 velocities, rolls at 4 velocities with release triggers programmed for realistic roll endings, crescendo and decrescendo rolls at 3 lengths, and true hand-muffled strikes at 8 velocities. DS has also included a fingers and hands patch at 4 velocities (right and left hands) ranging from a light tap with one finger to the entire hand at "ff." And don't forget the standard "special effect" timpani sounds including: glissando rolls, bowl hits, booming detuned earthy tones, and eerie rolling glissandos with a cymbal on the head.
