Free Tenor Ocarina .wav,.nki

[abaga129]

Hey everybody!
Last night I got out my ocarina for the first time in years and I thought, why not try recording it. So I sampled each note and split them up.

Its a ceramic tenor ocarina (meant to look like the one from the ocarina of time).

It has a very limited range and I cheated a bit to get a couple notes that arent even in it's range.

Maybe this will be of use to someone

I actually think it sounds fairly good with pretty heavy reverb.

Here's an example: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/56167527/ocarina test.mp3

Dude thanks you rock! I layered this with an ocarina I hand made. I'll post the Nkm here if it's ok with you, give them two different types!

sounds really cool, thanks!

what mic did you use? and what kind of blowing technique was used?

 

[abaga129]

The mic used was a slightly modded mxl 990 about 8 inches away pointed directly at the ocarina. I figured that would be best since that is the perspective that the ocarina is typically heard from.

As far as blowing technique, I just tried to used a medium flow of air since I felt I had the most control over pitch that way. However I still had to bring several of the notes into melodyne and flatten the pitch

But I'm glad people actually like it! Its nice to give back to the community
