Included formats

  • Decent Sampler

Description

A Kalikå Leksakspiano (toy piano) recorded on to cassette tape and played back at half speed and normal/original speed. Playing back at half speed results in an octave lower pitch.

Technical specification

Sample rate Bit depth Channels Number of files File size
Samples 48 kHz 24 bit 2 (stereo) 72 94.60 MB
Impulse responses 48 kHz 24 bit 2 (stereo) 4 3.60 MB

Instrument presets

  • Layered
    • Normal speed samples and half speed samples are assigned to the same part of the keyboard.
  • Split
    • Normal speed samples and half speed samples are assigned to different parts of the keyboard.

Velocity and damping

  • Velocity
    • Determines whether the velocity should affect the volume of the samples
  • Damping
    • When damping is off, the sample will continue to play after you release the key (like a toy piano)
    • When damping is on, the sample will fade out quickly after you release the key

Mixer

LFO controls

Volume

Mix between the normal speed samples and the half speed samples. They also have independent tremolo controls.

Tremolo

The tremolo rate and tremolo depth knobs enable you to modulate the amplitude of the sound with the desired depth and rate using a Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO).

  • Tremolo Rate
    • Tremolo rate determines the speed at which the modulation occurs
  • Tremolo Depth
    • Adjust the Tremolo depth to introduce subtle or pronounced variations in volume

Effects

These effects are achieved using carefully crafted impulse responses. The echo effect employs a Fulltone Tube Tape Echo recorded twice for stereo, while the reverb effect draws from a Chase Bliss Audio & Meris CXM 1978 reverb pedal with a room setting.

Echo

Select from two distinctive echo options: the short echo, delivering a classic slapback effect, and the long echo, characterized by a slower decay and numerous repeats.

  • On
    • Turns the echo on and off
  • Long
    • Switches between a short slapback echo and a long echo with slow repeats and high feedback
  • Mix
    • Mix between direct signal and echo signal

Reverb

You'll also find two reverb effects: the short reverb, evoking the intimacy of a small room, and the long reverb, enveloping your sound in the vastness of a spacious environment.

  • On
    • Turns the reverb on and off
  • Long
    • Switches between a short/small room reverb and a long/big room reverb
  • Mix
    • Mix between direct signal and reverb signal

Fidelity

Hi-fi

When the hi-fi switch is turned on, no effects are applied. When it's turned off, some filtering, saturation and modulation are added for a lo-fi effect. The saturation becomes more pronounced when you turn up the volume in the mixer section.

  • Hi-fi
    • Turns the lo-fi effects on and off
