ASIAN REED COLLECTION

  • Three traditional Asian free reed instruments
  • Full breath control for lifelike performances
  • 3 GB KONTAKT library

ELEGANCE. BALANCE. RHYTHM.

The Chinese Sheng, Laotian Khaen, and Japanese Sho are three instruments with a common ancestor. Sound is created by both inhaling and exhaling, resulting in an almost endless sustained sound, or a quick rhythmic pulsing. Soniccouture’s instrument gives you comprehensive control over its behaviour, with breath control – including inhale/exhale switching, pitch offset, and instability. A full set of envelopes, LFOs, and filters add creative sound design possibilities.

SONICCOUTURE

Soniccouture develop virtual instruments and sample libraries for composers and producers. They have been working in close partnership with Native Instruments and the KONTAKT platform since 2005 to change the way sampled instruments are regarded by musicians.

Combining unprecedented levels of detail with organic performance programming, groundbreaking instruments like Pan Drums and Balinese Gamelan quickly established Soniccouture as one of the most original and innovative instrument developers. Today, with a wide catalogue of instruments already available, Soniccouture continue to explore the limits of what is possible with sampling.
