Here’s something we’ve wanted for a long time, and after much development it’s finally here! Herring Clarinet was a project over two years in the making. José Herring, an avid VI-user himself, reached out to us wanting to create something that had never been done before, and the challenge was set to create a sample-based Bb clarinet with wide dynamic expression. We adventured into some deep new territory in terms of technology, and came out with one of our finest creations! Implementing dynamic morphing and breath pressure response as the fundamental performance behaviors, you can enjoy sweeping through the ranges without any fake crossfading of samples.
Using a series of modulators based on analysis of real samples and an understanding of the physics of multiphonics, we’ve recreated this effect so you can seamlessly transition to-and-from multiple note tones for wild effects with the turn of a knob.
This experimental setting allows you to introduce some chaos in your performance by randomizing each note’s pitch by a small amount. Subtle use of this can add an extra layer of humanization.
We recorded every note transition within an octave for 2 Legato styles: Slur and Tongued. The result is that you hear an actual performance when transitioning between connected notes.
