Dulcitone sounds like an elderly fragile celesta, with a quieter and rounder tone. Team Wrongtools spared no effort in sampling it. Employing different new piano hammers, cutting-edge technology and a century-old instrument (well, actually two).
The sound comes from tuning forks, which vibrate when struck by felt-covered hammers. We utilized a variation of different hammers.
Here’s a playful demo : Grieg Op 43 No 17 (Op.43-1) Butterfly, rearranged for Dulcitone Pro. Using the main patch only.

The instrument was overhauled by a professional piano restorer prior to the sampling session. Mechanics and pedal, squeaks and keysounds were recorded and mapped to individual tracks.
Imagine sliding your fingers through a curtain of small threads with bells. This feeling, was something we have tried to implement in the Sculpt FX settings. Simple XY movements leading to complex and unexpected results.
