Gentle Harpsichord
Soft sounding harpsichord with two stops. Tuned with historical french tuning, A=440.
The story
A harpsichord to take you somewhere else.
Francesco Elgorni’s first harpsichord sampled with the softest touch and no mechanical noise. His recommendation is to play it gently and with lots of legato. It’s ok for notes to overlap with eachother.
A J-P Rameau “Ordinaire” temperament has been chosen for the instrument, on a diapason of A=440.
The instrument comes with two different manuals (keyboards) with slightly different timbres. Each one selectable by playing C1 or D1.
Two stereo samplings are avaiable, both in 44.1 kHz sample rate:
-close-up (body)
-bineural (from player’s prospective, best for study)
Sample editing, interface and programming are made by me.

Explore with caution and remember, “easy keys” sound better. Don’t get lost!
This sample pack is dedicated to composer Jacques Duphly (1715-1789).

Such a great "gentle" sound..........
Nice little plugin and such a gentle harpsichord sound....
Beautiful.Love it - just a small thing that needs an update
Love the general sound of the Harpsichord, but some notes are just slightly out of tune, sometimes 20-30 cents, so it can be significant..
It's a matter of a simple update :)
But other than that I think it has a beautiful sound !Life (and OST) savior :D
I needed a harpsichord for an OST I'm working on and I this gave me the exact thing I was looking for.
I really appreciate the efforts of this community and today, especially, I want to say thank you to JSamples :)
