Product Overview

The Recorder - Baroque Collection is the definitive recorder sample library, featuring 7 top-of-the-range Baroque instruments from prestigious makers around the world. Created with performer Emily O’Brien and sponsored by the American Recorder Society (ARS).

Note: This is the Baroque Collection. For the Complete Collection please see here: https://www.lootaudio.com/category/kontakt-instruments/versilian-studios/the-recorder-complete-collection

Cutting-Edge True Legato

Versilian Studios - The Recorder - Baroque Collection - Cutting-Edge True Legato

Many libraries today promise natural legato intervals, only to provide a stilted delivery due to a simpler (and cheaper) recording method which requires two crossfades, in and out.

The Recorder eschews this practice and utilizes instead a vastly more time consuming method which eliminates the need for the second crossfade, giving a beautifully natural transition.

A more “traditional” set of legatos are provided for comparison and timbral clarity, using chromatic destination notes rather than the diatonic destinations sampled.

VISAGE exposes full control over every parameter of the legato behavior, allowing you to tune the legato exactly to taste, or you can pick between six pre-calibrated presets and get playing.

Five Unique Microphone Positions

Versilian Studios - The Recorder - Baroque Collection - Five Unique Microphone Positions

A specialized range of microphones were used to capture the recorders accurately and naturally, comprising five arrays in four positions.

Up close, a stereo ribbon microphone (Samar VL373A) provides detail, warmth, and texture, ideal for solo uses or when adding your own favorite reverb plugin. It can be collapsed to mono easily or fed through an external Mid-Side processor for control over the stereo image.

Next are two pairs of microphones in what is called a ‘Wide Faulkner Array’, with a wide pair of brighter omnis flanking a narrower set of darker directional mics. You can mix smoothly between the two to achieve a more direct or more spacious sound.

The Mid array is a pair of ultra low noise LDC’s, Microtech Gefell M940, provide a neutral, unhyped sound ideal for blending with most other libraries.

Finally a distant, NOS array of Rode TF5 SDC’s capture the acoustics of TRC Studio A, suitable for combining recorders with orchestral samples from scoring stages.

Historical Tuning & Temperaments System

Versilian Studios - The Recorder - Baroque Collection - Historical Tuning & Temperaments System

Our new VISAGE 3 engine allows you to work in a range of historical temperaments and intonations, from various flavors of Meantone to the rich key coloration of so-called “Well” temperaments, to even some varieties of near-Equal options.

A useful Transposition feature allows you to utilize A=415 instruments in modern A=440 production (and vice versa), providing many different timbral options to perfectly fit the context and range of your virtual production or composition.
