Articulations
Phase Aligned Samples
Perfect blending between dynamic layers
One of the most unique feature in CH-Harmonica are the Phase-Aligned samples.
After 6 months of research, Chris Hein found a solution to phase-synchronize the samples.
This enables an absolutely perfect blending between six dynamic layers.
During the development of CH-Harmonica very much attention was spent on how to work with dynamic expressions.
Glide-Mode
Realistic runs - easy to play
The Glide-Mode is a unique feature to play realistic runs.
Instead of fiddling with short notes, the Glide-Mode provides real played runs, with adjustable scales and tempo.
Just play two notes legato, and the interval is played by a real played run.

Berthold Matschat
Chromatic Harmonica Player
We were very happy when Berthold Matschat consented to have his rare harmonica sampled. There are very few chromatic harmonica players worldwide, and he is the leading player in Germany. BM is also an accomplished jazz pianist and composer. Because he works extensively with sample instruments in his own studio, he had a detailed concept of what needs to be played on the harmonica and sampled.
His tone is particularly soulful and emotional. We recorded and old Hohner harmonica, that dates back to those times, when Hohner could impress with the words “Made in Germany”.
BM has been touring and recording in Europe extensively. He is also specialized in recording via internet. Feel free to contact him and have him play on your recording:
