The world’s first and only convolution dulcitone….An ancient and rare keyboard invigorated with nifty digital witchcraft – and ghosts.
DULCITONIUM takes the gorgeous woody jingle of the dulcitone and transforms it into an extended dusty swoon that goes to infinity and beyond. It contains 70 snapshots, 6 articulations, 2GB of content and requires the FULL version of Kontakt 5.8.1 or above

DULCITONIUM takes the gorgeous woody jingle of the dulcitone and transforms it into an extended dusty swoon that goes to infinity and beyond.
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.
It’s also about the ghosts…
The ghosts are dragged into this spiritual plane by treating each dulcitone sample as an impulse response for a convolution reverb* Load a sample into a convolution reverb plug in, send in 20 second bursts of Moog Voyager white noise and record the result. Do that for every single note/sample and several weeks later you have a collection of dusty, metallic bowed sounding, infinite dulcitone-ness.
*Basically, a convolution reverb takes an input signal (the sound to be reverberated) and processes it with the sound of an actual or virtual acoustic space to create the illusion that the input was recorded in that space. The sound of the acoustic space is captured in what is called an impulse response (IR). Wikipedia
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.
Reversed, stretched and mangled Dulcitone 1884 made by cunning convolution process (see above) 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.
A different set of stretched, mangled and convolved Dulcitone 1884 samples with 7 layers of velocity Sample start 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 unit.
7 velocity layers of binaural Dulcitone 1900 passed through cassette tape for extra artefacts and character. Sample start, loop length and octave control.
