TIMPHONIA was made using MODWHEEL’S pedal and fixed skin Timpani. The two fixed Skin
Timpani were retuned to allow recording of as many pitches as possible.
MODWHEEL felt that a lot of other percussion libraries that feature Timpani have been recorded
in large concert halls or auditoriums that make the instrument less flexible for using outside an
orchestral setting.
Timphonia was recorded in a neutral studio space with close and room microphone placements.
This enables the user to be able to place the instrument easily within mixes of different genres
and styles. It can be a more intimate instrument or huge and roomy depending on what is
required.

The TIMPHONIA recordings were performed by New Zealand drum and Timpani maestro Riki
Gooch. Riki is New Zealand’s in-demand drummer, producer and all round musical
phenomenon. To find out more about Riki here’s a link to his tumbler site
http://rgooch.tumblr.com/bio
TIMPHONIA would not be what it is without the Riki’s incredible talents.

TIMPHONIA owes a big debt of gratitude to Australian musician and tech whizz Kirke Godfrey
who has designed a number of the TIMPHONIA patches and beta tested the hell out of it. To
find out more about Kirke go to http://www.shapednoise.com
MODWHEEL would also like to thank our other beta master Chris Byrum Harris.

TIMPHONIA​ is part of the MODWHEEL Creative Differences drum and percussion series.
