Pretty Red
The Melodica Cassetto 26 in Kontakt form
Melodica Cassetto 26 as a multi-sampled Kontakt Instrument. Take advantage of the different characters of the four microphone types and mix your own original redma sound until it fits your taste perfectly
The Melodica Cassetto 26 is another easy to use and super rich sounding reed instrument made by the German company Hohner*.
The sound is generated by blowing air thru a mouthpiece into fine brass reeds like those used in Harmonicas. This one got an extra chamber at the bottom for more resonances.
This underrated instruments were used by musicians like UB40, Depeche Mode, The Gorillas, The Hooters, Supertramp and… you too name a few!
We are very happy to get our hands on one of these super rare instruments in a very good condition. The Cassotto Melodicas are very hard to find in a good condition.
We have recorded this old, plastic and fantastic pretty with four different types of microphones thru well selected preamps after some time consuming experiments.
Overview
Each microphone can be tuned in separately in the master area at the head of the instrument. So you can take advantage of the different characters of the four microphone types and mix your own original pretty red sound until it fits your taste perfectly.
The noise from blowing air into the Melodica was separated from the musical material and made usable thru an extra mixing knob. The same processing we did with the clicks which were produced by pressing the keys on the Melodica. So you can now add/reduce the noise from blowing by turning the noise knob and add/reduce the clicks from the keys by turning the click knob.
