The DRY version of the instrument

Although recorded close-up, there is always some minor reverberation still present in the samples. This time, we opted to leave these tiny reverberation tiles in the samples, not muting them. For this reason, the sample set is not completely dry, but "moist". The releases may be truncated in the Hauptwerk itself, should the user wish that.
