Several Reverb Types Vibraphone is equipped with several reverb types including our favourite 'Infinite' type. The Vibraphone is a percussion instrument very similar (and at the same time very dissimilar) to the Marimba. Its tone is produced by metal bars that are arranged like the keys on a piano
• and resonator tubes underneath them. More advanced in comparison to the Glockenspiel
• it features a tremolo driven by a motor
• and a pedal to either let the metal bars ring or dampen them. During their stay in Australia
• Cinematique Instruments recorded a Vibraphone in cooperation with Michael Askill
• one of Australia's finest percussionists
• using his playing and our recording technique. The Vibraphone captured has a range of 4 ½ octaves and has been recorded with close-up condenser microphones such as the Schoeps MK4 to achieve a rich and defined stereo sound with no room
• so you can add one afterwards. They mostly recorded 4 round-robin groups with up to 4 velocity layers. Articulations: There are three groups of articulations. The first group called “Mallets” consists of open and muted articulations
• which are natural to the Vibraphone. With the button „Pedal“ set to enabled
• the instrument will play muted by default
• unless the sustain pedal (CC 64) is pressed
• which is when it switches to open. With the button on „Hold“
• only open notes will be played and you are able to adjust an overall length. Besides the regular articulation
• they also added a bowed articulation
• achieved by stroking the metal bars with a bow
• which results in a sound with a beautiful
• slow attack. Finally
• they recorded some prepared articulations
• which are achieved by placing coins
• spoons
• spatulas
• washers and respectively fold paper on the metal bars. The prepared articulations can be played apart from each other if you chose a single articulation
• or mixed if you chose „Custom“. By using the „Assign“ button and then choosing an articulation
• you can set a specific key to play that articulation; meanwhile
• if you press „Random“
• a random articulation will be assigned to each key. With the Solo Vibraphone
