The carillon installed in the tower of the city hall has 35 bells made from [[wikipedia:Meissen porcelain|Meissen porcelain]], the lowest note being an a and the highest note g2. The bells are driven by solenoids with plasic tips, there is no velocity dynamic possible. For playing and composing with the original sound of the Weimar porcelain bells just download and unzip the soundfont.<br /> | The carillon installed in the tower of the city hall has 35 bells made from [[wikipedia:Meissen porcelain|Meissen porcelain]], the lowest note being an a and the highest note g2.

==FAQ== | |||
'''Which are the possibilities of nuances of amplitude of the "porcelain-carillon"?''' | |||
*''technically there are no "nuances" for the touch-response: once you played a note the mechanical hammersystem hits the bell with the same intensity.'' | |||
'''What is the repeat rate of a single bell / speed of execution of melody?''' | |||
*''we just sent a request to the guys who build the carillon if there is any limitation (techically/concerning "health" of the bells). As soon as we have an answer we'll let you know. As far as we tested the carillon with a MIDI-Keyboard there were no limitations except the speed of our fingers :)'' | |||
'''Is there a full polyphony resp. how many voices can be played simultaneously?''' | |||
*''as far as we know there is a full polyphonic response. In principle you can play 35 bells simulaneously...'' | |||
