Ableton Forum

On the Ableton's Tension page it clearly says "Tension is capable of modeling stringed instruments including bass, violin, viola, cello, guitar, piano, harpsichord and clavinet, or it can synthesize entirely new hybrid instruments." Yet there are no harpsichord patches in the Tension library? What gives?

Well, as it says "is capable of modeling".

Have you checked the preset packs there are, for instance the three in the AAS bundle?

I personally prefer Collision, though I never tried making a harpsichord. It would seem Tension is a natural choice for that.
