Best Service X Sample Vol.12 - WAV

Xsample Volume 12 brings us the clarinet family. It takes a lot to
beat my old Korg T3's solo clarinet multisample, but the Xsample
instrument, with its finely co-ordinated attacks, is truly excellent
As with the strings, the sustained notes are played at three
different dynamics with no vibrato, each program using about 28Mb
of memory. The combined 84Mb instrument is excellent; the room acoustic
is dry, but add a little reverb and you're hearing a world-class sound.
The three-dynamic staccatos are also very good, though someone forgot
to provide a separate program for the 'p' samples.

The bass clarinet follows the same format as the clarinet, and maintains
its high quality. Only one complaint: I pushed up the mod wheel in the
hope of hearing something approaching a realistic vibrato, but what I got
was a slight, random pitch modulation. As Stravinsky would have said,
bogus! Moving on, the 'basset horn' does not refer to a football manager
in a state of sexual excitement, but is the name of an 18th century
ancestor of the clarinet with an extended low register. While its staccatos
and quiet long notes sound identical to a clarinet, its loud sustains are
less plummy and more nasal. The medium-dynamic samples reminded me of a
melodica! All three instruments on Volume 12 (which total 438Mb) come with
two dynamics of flutter tongue sustains, 'multiphonics' (harmonic overtones,
squeals and honks), key clicks and air noises. I think this disc succeeds
better than the previous two and deserves a four-star rating.

contains the following:

* Clarinet (B flat)- standard (3 velocity splits), staccato
(3 velocity splits), flutter tongue (2 velocity splits) special fx,
d3-a#6 chromatic

* Bassetthorn- standard (3 velocity splits), staccato (2 velocity splits),
flutter tongue (2 velocity splits) special fx, f2 - f6 chromatic

* Bass Clarinet- standard (3 velocity splits), staccato (2 velocity splits)
flutter tongue (2 velocity splits) special fx, slaps, a#1 - f5 chromatic.
