Description
The Cristal Baschet Sample Pack is the most complete and usable collection of Cristal Baschet sounds available! It includes deeply multi-sampled sounds from the instrument, captured by Tomás Mulcahy at the Triskel Arts Centre in Cork while it was touring Ireland.
Demo:
How the Cristal Baschet makes sound is very interesting. Glass rods are attached to metal rods that are embedded in a heavy metal plate. As the glass rods are rubbed with wet fingers (think of a wine glass with a wet finger), there’s a transformation from a complex, unstable vibration on the glass rods to the metal rod, which, via its length, ’tunes’ the vibrations to musical pitches. The diffusers radiate the resulting acoustic waves generated through the heavy metal plate to which the metal rods are attached. The result is a musical piece of art, designed originally by the Baschet Brothers in France in 1952.
This is a completely unique-sounding instrument. The sound set contains musical tones played on the instrument’s glass rods, plus bells, hits, percussive hits, and flute-like sounds that only a Cristal Baschet can generate. It’s new and rare-sounding and rounds out a library with the ability to perform effects, low rumbles, low harmonic drums, and basses. It’s incredibly textured and cinematic—all in a single sample set.
It will be your secret weapon in demo reels, ambient compositions, and effects work.
