Diverse sources, cohesive sound

The 25 pots are diverse in size and structure; some are old handmade Victorian pieces while others are smooth and modern. The bell-like tone is consistent but there are intricate differences between them that, when combined, create a beautifully diverse instrument. Each pot was sampled with 4 round robins and 4 velocity layers, capturing natural performance variation across the full keyboard.

Blend and explore

You can blend in 'mixer' sounds to create new tones — a resonating large ceramic bowl, a music box and a plucked steel string. The 40 included presets range from straightforward percussion to creative textural explorations that push the instrument beyond its acoustic origins.
