  • Chord and Key quantise – selectable to fix scale and chord type across all keys
  • Sample start and loop length control per instrument
  • BPM synced pan and volume modulation per instrument
  • BPM synced vibrato and chorus per instrument
  • 24 custom convolution reverbs per instrument
  • 4 fully controllable insert effects – dirt, eq, rotor, phaser and master algorithmic reverb

​It starts with ancient keyboards (see Dulcitone 1884 and dULCITONE1900) – with a Dulcitone 1884 through tape, a stretched Dulcitone 1900, and a Dulcitone 1900 clunk layer;  but it doesn’t stop there, that would be too easy.

I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but it’s curtains for GHOST DULCITONE 1900 – she was a beautiful friend – but her time had come.- GHOST DULCITONE has left this spiritual plane – long live DULCITONIUM!

DULCITONIUM upgrades GHOST DULCITONE with almost completely new samples, 6 really special articulations, and a new engine. She sounds similar – but at least 37% better – and with many more possibilities.​

Clunk Dulcitone : short and percussive – every note recorded binaurally directly from the simple dulcitone mechanism – 4 levels of velocity. Sample start, loop length and octave control . BPM synced pan, volume , vibrato and chorus speeds from 12 bars to 1/256 of a bar. Low pass and high pass filter, convolution reverb with 24 custom reverb impulses. Delay send and distortion insert.
