The soundbank « Blanchet_1720 » has been created by René Berthault and is distributed by SONI MUSICAE. Using this sound bank and the softwares Hauptwerk or GrandOrgue, it is possible to play a 3 stops 18th century french harpsichord, on two keyboards.

The author has decided to distribute it freely to anyone who will find it useful. 

Photo coming soon

This soundbank has been created for the softwares Hauptwerk and GrandOrgue, and the mapping files (extension : *.organ) are usable only with these programs. However, the samples, in 'wav' format, are usable in any sampling program (for ex : Kontakt, Halion, etc...). If you create special mapping files for these programs (Kontakt, Vsampler, Halion, GigaStudio, etc...), please transmit them to us, because it will be suitable to distribute them freely to the community. But we do not accept any modification of the samples themselves. In particular, we refuse them to be reduced for an integration to a General Midi bank, or a low quality soundbank.

It is forbidden to sell this sound bank or to insert the samples in any commercial application.

DISPOSITION FILES

We propose 2 definition files for this harpsichord, for differents keyboards and midi consoles (because the organ keyboard compass is not compatible with the harpsichord's):

1) taskin_C1-F5.organfrom C1 to F5, for specific organ midi keyboards (but F1 to B1 are missing).

2) taskin_F0-F5.organ, from G1 to F 5, the complete compass, which doesn't fit with organ keyboards, but only with longer midi keyboards.
