Spitfire Audio has announced the release of Dulcimer, a freely downloadable expansion pack for the LABS virtual instrument which is available in VST, VST3, AU, and AAX plugin formats for compatible digital audio workstations on PC and Mac.
The expansion pack features the sounds of two different dulcimers. The samples were recorded by Christian Henson who is also the founder of Spitfire Audio. By recording a variety of playing techniques, Christian managed to capture the versatility of the two sampled instruments. The result is an expansion pack that is as streamlined and user-friendly as the rest of the LABS instrument range yet immensely expressive at the same time.

The large dulcimer was sampled with hammered, fingerpicked, and tremolo playing styles, all three of which boast rather unique and distinct sound characteristics. The mini dulcimer was played using the glissandi technique which provides even more contrast to the warmer and more substantial sound of the larger instrument. You can hear the library in action in the promo video embedded below.
