Jason Morin 75 Posted November 27, 2020 Hello, Just in time for Black Friday, Ample Sound announces the release of a new Virtual Instrument: Ample China Zheng WINTER SALE: Not only do we have a new instrument, but we also have some HOT DEALS that are now available at Ample Sound. Make sure to check them out, from 20% To 65% Off until January 1, 2021. Please login to your account to see your personal discounts. Purchase: https://www.amplesound.net/en/purchase.asp Ample China Zheng is a new sampled virtual instrument based on a Dunhuang Guzheng - Purple Cloud. It's an 8 GB sample library with 13 articulations: -Sustain, Natural Harmonic, Expression Tremolo, Straight Tremolo, Glissando, Glissando Up, Glissando Down, Full Bend (major second and minor third with speed slow and fast), Bend Up (major second and minor third with speed slow and fast), Bend Down (major second and minor third), Tap, Mid Speed Vibrato, and Slow to Fast Vibrato. Special Guzheng bend system: -Each string can be bent individually, while other strings are generating normal notes. -When a string is bent, the status will be kept so it can be released when it is played again. -The Advance Bend system simulates real instrument by modeling the change of sound such as timbre and velocity.

Piotr 1,245 Posted December 13, 2020 I would be probably interested to join group buy if any for this but I am afraid not this year. Money spent or reserved for other things. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just installed 8 acoustic instruments and can play them just fine in the host app. No iLok required. I used the resident Ample Activation Manager which connected to my account on their website and activated the libraries that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fret_man 79 Posted January 18 Well that stinks! I may have to switch over to OrangeTree to get my mandolin (in the plans for Ample Sound after they get their banjo done). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guys, iLok seems to be required for their products which are Chinese instruments only (native to their own market). So no rule new product will get iLOK but only Chinese one.

According to Jason, iLok is only being used for the Chinese instruments; there are no plans to use iLok on the other instruments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
