Dulcius by Libre Wave is a sample library capturing the essence of the Persian Santur, a traditional hammered dulcimer known for its bright and resonant sound. This virtual instrument is designed to provide a realistic and expressive playing experience, suitable for various musical genres.

The samples for Dulcius were performed and recorded by musician Nuno Silva. The library currently includes one instrument, the Persian Santur, with plans to expand with more instruments in the future, available as a free upgrade for existing customers.

Key features of Dulcius include:

• Six Idiomatic Articulations: Includes longs, damped, strike and mute, harmonics, dorab, and rizz, each with phase-aligned dynamic layers for realistic performance.
• Round Robins: Two recorded round robin samples per note, coupled with an infinite variation engine to ensure non-repetitive playback.
• Dynamic Control: Articulations are sampled at three dynamic levels, controllable via MIDI velocity. The rizz (tremolo) articulation can be dynamically crossfaded using a continuous controller.
• Expansion Plans: More instruments will be added to the library, available as free upgrades to existing customers.
• User Interface: Designed for ease of use with a MIDI keyboard, making it accessible for both novice and experienced musicians.

Dulcius is perfect for composers and producers looking to add the rich and intricate sounds of the Persian Santur to their music, offering both versatility and authenticity.
