Mountain Dulcimer

About

Mountain Dulcimer is a world instrument plugin by Embertone. The Mountain Dulcimer is a strummed zither, native to the Appalachian region of the United States, sampled from a hand-chosen instrument. It can be played in a traditional drone-like manner, or with chord changes, notes and patterns that a live instrument could not perform. Each string has recorded up and down slides and hammer-on transitions, and the engine adjusts hammer-on transitions based on how recently and strongly each string was plucked.

What it sounds like

Embertone describes the instrument's tone as shimmery and inviting.
