Bentside Spinet derives from spinetta, a word used for all quilled instruments in 17th-century Italian.
The spinet was a preferred household keyboard since it took up less room than the harpsichord,
produced a dark & quiet tone, and was aesthetically stunning.
As one of the precursors of the pianoforte, the oldest artifact is dated 1490,
but started to gain popularity around 1631. By the 18th century,
bentside spinets were found all over Europe and were used for daily home entertainment and musical instruction.
The instrument shape resembled a harp laid horizontally, with the keys in the position of the sounding-board.
As a result, the spinet produced a rich and sustained timbre, but darker and less brilliant than the harpsichord.
It had a five octave range with natural keys re-covered with ebony and ivory topped accidentals, giving it a strikingly memorable look.
From Classical to Latin

The Fields of Rock SDX features seven drum kits and a comprehensive collection of percussion instruments
recorded by multiple award-winning engineer/producer/mixer Tom Dalgety
(Ghost, Rammstein, Pixies, Royal Blood) and drummer Mat Hector (Iggy Pop, Gutterdämmerung).
It was captured at Rockfield, the Welsh dairy farm-turned-into-studio that ended up leaving colossal footprints in
its now-fifty-year-long path through music history.
This unlikely studio, to which bands like Queen, Rush, Judas Priest, Hawkwind
and many of their contemporaries in the 1970s pilgrimaged,
became a creative haven where some of the best rock songs of our time materialized.
But even beyond the heydays of classic rock, Rockfield has...
Kageyama Taikos
Taikos have been an essential part of traditional Japanese music for thousands of years.
Their deep, resonant, yet crisp sound is unmistakable, whether played solo or as part of a massive ensemble.
In the last century, their prominence has risen far beyond the borders of Japan, appearing in major film & television scores, video game soundtracks, and international events.
We wanted to devote a sample library entirely to taiko, with several accompanying percussive instruments, played by a master to open up as many options for inspiration as possible.
We brought these drums out of the more common ensemble or concert hall setting, focusing...
