Description
Sonokinetic has sampled this beautiful 18th century spinet in high quality 24Bit wave format and constructed it into a very usable and authentic, natural sounding Kontakt instrument.
With the build-in release triggers all keys and dampers will sound as realistic as the original instrument. Originally tuned in 41.5 but re-tuned to 44.1 for optimal usage in modern orchestration.
A spinet is a smaller type of harpsichord or other keyboard instrument, such as a piano or organ. The bentside spinet shares most of its characteristics with the full-size instrument, including action, soundboard, and case construction. What primarily distinguishes the spinet is the angle of its strings: whereas in a full-size harpsichord, the strings are at a 90 degree angle to the keyboard (that is, they are parallel to the player’s gaze); and in a virginals they are parallel to the keyboard, in a spinet the strings are at an angle of about 30 degrees to the keyboard, going toward the right. The other major aspect of spinet design is that the strings are arranged in pairs. The gap between the two strings of a pair is about four millimetres, and the wider gap between pairs is about ten. The jacks (which pluck the strings (see harpsichord)) are arranged in pairs as well, placed in the wider gap.
Sonokinetic recorded this powerful instrument in full stereo. Please, listen to some performances on “Spinet 1790″ by Rob van den Berg in our Curiosity Corner section (top left).

PLEASE NOTE:
Due to the large sizes of Sonokinetic's sample packages, Sonokinetic have split them up
in multiple files: _part1, _part2, _part3, etc. using the .rar extension. You should use the software provided above to unpack the files. Smaller packages (containing only 1 file), are zipped. For this you can use your OS (XP, OSX etc.) to extract the samples from the zip-file.
When extracting Sonokinetic sample packages only open the “.part1″ files with your extraction software. All other files will extract automatically!
NOTE TO MAC USERS:
If your .rar files download with an HTML extension on the end, please delete the .html extension so the .rar files will extract correctly.
