sjoens Posted February 20, 2024 Share Posted February 20, 2024 There's a few in the Sonar/CbB offerings but they sound more like pianos and organs. Any recommendations for free or cheap authentic sounding plugins? William Dowd 1967 Italian harpsichord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fret_man Posted February 20, 2024 Share Posted February 20, 2024 $9 for this one by Experimenta. $39 for a bundle of 3 from RealSamples. I think these deals last only 19 more hours from me posting this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSistine Posted February 20, 2024 Share Posted February 20, 2024 There are also the 2 harpsichords from Sampletekk: https://www.sampletekk.com/historic-keyboards I like especially the ST Virginal for integration in rock music. I prefer it over the one of Experimenta or the one in the Kontakt Factory Library. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted February 20, 2024 Author Share Posted February 20, 2024 (edited) Thanks for the replies, will be checking them out. Also learning not all harpsichords sound the same so I may even sample one if it comes to that. I lean more for Renaissance sound. On another ♪, kind of amazed how nice some of the saxophones in Dimension Pro sound in a mix. Probably not so good soloed but my needs are pretty basic.

Glenn Stanton Posted February 20, 2024 Share Posted February 20, 2024 (edited) one thing i used extensively about 12-15 years ago was the Bolland [Super] Brass sound font - not partcularly "real" compared to todays ampller VI but it made adding horn sections really easy and in the mix was pretty decent for an soundfont. https://www.zanderjaz.com/downloads/soundfonts/brass/ Edited February 21, 2024 by Glenn Stanton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
