DS Soundware has announced its second release "Ultimate Timpani Upgrade." This six-disc library contains every performance nuance to allow the most realistic timpani imaginable. Used in the recordings were a set of Hinger Touch Tone timpani. These incredible drums with calf heads produce tones not possible with any standard drums and conventional heads. Five mallets from a warm legato cartwheel to wood have been recorded at eight velocity levels. Adding to the realism, both right and left hand samples are included to make fast articulate passages flow seamlessly and realistically. Files for each mallet include; hits (right and left hands) at eight velocities, rolls at four velocities with release triggers programmed for realistic roll endings, crescendo and decrescendo rolls at three lengths, and true hand muffled strikes at eight velocities. DS has also included a fingers and hand patch at four velocities (right and left hands) ranging from a light tap with one finger to the entire hand at "ff". And, they did not leave out standard special effect timpani sounds including; glissando rolls, bowl hits, booming detuned earthy tones, and eerie rolling glissando's with a cymbal on the head. DS Soundware's new website also has a new help section where users can get help with percussion sequencing. The site also contains an input section where users can view lists of future libraries (including articulations) and can post instruments, not listed, that they would like to see included.
