  5. Hello, Ample China Traditional Percussion (ACTP) presents a Chinese ethnic percussion ensemble, covering a wide range from bass to treble, including membrane, wood, and brass instruments. It includes 19 instrument slots totaling 49 percussion instruments, such as drum ensemble, solo drum, gongs, cymbals, opera percussion, and vocals. Each instrument features multiple articulations, velocity layers, and sample cycles. -Ensemble: Zheng Yu and Gufeng Percussion Ensemble -Lead Soloist: Zheng Yu (Young Percussion Artist) System Requirements: -Windows: Windows 7/8/10/11, 64-bit only. -Mac: 10.13 or newer versions. -VST2, VST3, AU, AAX and Standalone host (Rectangles) -Intel i5 or higher; If using an external hard drive, it must be a solid-state drive (SSD). -iLok Anti-Piracy system, which requires a free iLok account. The license can be stored on the local machine without an iLok dongle, or on 2nd/3rd generation iLok dongle. Sampling: The ACTP features Drum Ensembles, Solo Drums, Pitched Barrel Drums, Small Barrel Drum, Cymbals, Large Gong, Ethnic Drum, Singing Bowl, Temple Bowl, Bells, Shaking Bells, Opera Drum, Temple Block, Wood Block, Large Opera Gong, Small Opera Gong, Opera Cymbals, Rattle Drum, and vocals — a total of 19 instrument slots with 49 percussion instruments, using 15 GB of samples. The drum ensembles and solo drums include articulations such as Center, Stick, Rim, Rimshot, Edge-Center, Edge, muting with Stick, muting with Hand, Slap, Nails, Roll, Rims Roll, and Expressive Roll — up to 13 articulations in total. Other instruments also offer multiple articulations. The drum ensemble is recorded with 11 microphones, including Left 1, Left 2, Mid Low, Mid High, Mid Mid, Right 1, Right 2, Overhead, and Room. The drum head and rim were recorded separately, with a total of 22 microphones. Other percussion instruments are recorded with multiple microphones, Even the smallest wood block used 4 microphones. Main Features: Dual-Layer Mixer The ACTP adopts a dual-layer mixer design. The first layer is the instrument track, and each instrument track contains multiple microphone tracks. This setup is to adapt to the diverse nature of Chinese percussion, as the miking configuration for drum ensembles and small wood percussion differs. However, every percussion instrument uses the same overhead microphones to ensure tonal consistency. Percussion Version of Riffer -Quickly mark articulations and expressions in the built-in piano roll. -Fully compatible with standard MIDI, with lossless import/export. -Each preset is accompanied by a riff, presenting a quick overview of the performances and sound characteristics. -Each instrument slot contains similar types of percussion with consistent design in terms of articulations, velocity layers, and sample cycles. When switching between instruments in the same slot, there is no need to modify the MIDI. Even for drum ensemble vs. solo, simply shifting the MIDI by an octave can achieve the same performance. Legato Ample Sound's legato technology from Dizi, Xiao, and Erhu is introduced to percussion. Instruments like Gongs, Cymbals, Singing Bowls, Temple Bowls, and Bells feature various legato expression changes, such as striking a Singing Bowl first and then legato into a Sing (the effect of a mallet rubbing continuously around the rim). Independent ADSR Modulation System for Each Percussion Each percussion has an independent ADSR envelope modulation system, allowing for adjustments of parameters like pitch, velocity curve, and more.

  10. Thank you Guys for the Quick News, here's more information: New Release from www.amplesound.net The Ample China Konghou (ACKH) is based on the new Ample Sound v4.0 sampling engine and sampled on a Peacock type 76-string Konghou. The Konghou is an ancient harp-like picked string instrument that was introduced to East Asia from Persia over 2000 years ago. Unlike a harp, the Konghou has 76 strings in two rows. Each pair of strings connected to a bottom lever. Picking a string and pressing the corresponding string can produce articulations such as vibrato and bends. The Konghou has a soft tone and a wide range (G0 – B5), making it suitable for various musical styles including film scores, game music, easy listening, new age, and pop etc. More Information: https://www.amplesound.net/en/pro-pd.asp?id=45 The ACKH offers 8 articulations including Sustain, Nature Harmonic, Expressive Tremolo, Straight Tremolo, Short Tremolo, Ascending Arpeggio, Descending Arpeggio, and Pre-Vibrato 8 articulations, totaling 7.5 GB GB of samples. Recorded using 5 microphones positioned left, right, center, and stereo ambience, each with individual channel EQ. 4 microphone modes are provided – AB1, AB2, MS1 and MS2. Our instrument also includes various Konghou Glissando samples. Main Features: Ample Sound 4.0 sampling engine - Developed on the latest Juce 7. - Featuring a completely redrawn UI, supporting 5K HD resolution. - A brand-new version of the Riffer editor. New built-in Piano roll – Riffer Piano version - Allows easy marking of articulations and expressions without the keyswitches. - Fully compatible with standard MIDI for lossless import and export. - Includes MIDI algorithm tools like Quantize, Velocity Rounding, Timing Rounding, Legato, and Restrict etc. - Each preset comes with a riff for a quick demonstration of the ACKH’s playing and tonal characteristics. ACKH Glissando Mode: - By pressing the begin and end notes, the system automatically generates a pentatonic, heptatonic, or Persian scale sequence in between (according to the Key setting); - The time interval between the begin and end notes controls the duration of each note in the sequence, thus determines the speed of the glissando. - The velocity of begin and end notes controls the variation in intensity, allowing for different variations from soft to hard or vice versa. Voice independent SAHDS Modulation System. Special Konghou bend system. Tremolo system: Velocity controls the Start position of tremolo sample. System Requirements: -Windows: Windows 7/8/10, 64-bit only (32-bit not supported) -Mac: 10.9 or newer versions. -VST2, VST3, AU, AAX and Standalone host (Rectangles) -Intel i5 or higher -iLok Anti-Piracy system, which requires a free iLok account.
