Product Detail
The Xun, a wind instrument with a deep sound and a 7,000 - year history, was found in many archaeological sites like Hemudu, Zhaobaogou, and Banpo. Usually made of ceramic in an egg or pear shape, it has a blowhole on top and finger - holes on one side. Once a ritual instrument, its use stopped due to historical turmoils but was revived in the 1980s. Now it's often used in historical themes with dark scenarios.
The Tear of Land sound library offers an adjustable sound field. Recorded with 5 different microphones, the audio is mixed into four adjustable channels. You can perform various techniques like mordent, trill, and vibrato from the GUI. It features realistic articulations controllable via MIDI CC, with glissando at adjustable speeds. The LFO engine provides realistic and adjustable vibrato.
The self - developed sampling engine ensures top - notch sound quality. It uses disk buffer streaming, sampling compression, and sound fusion technologies. Legato notes are recorded at two speeds, and there are specific Chinese Xun articulations. The Spectrum Fusion Legato process enhances legato performance.
Combining 8 Xun playing techniques, it preserves the instrument's natural potential. It also includes convolution reverb samples of famous Chinese locations, an effect rack with compressor, EQ, chorus, and delay, and a pattern library for easy composition. You can even create your own patterns by dragging in MIDI clips.
Using the Tear of Land sound library is a breeze. First, open the user interface. Here, you can adjust the four channels of the adjustable sound field to your liking to get the perfect room and reverb characteristics. To perform different techniques, use the GUI controls. Just set the airflow and fingering virtually to trigger effects like mordent, trill, and more.
When it comes to MIDI CC, you can control the tone changes just like in a real hulusi performance. For glissando, choose from different speeds or adjust it as you want.
As for maintenance, since it's a digital sound library, make sure your computer's operating system and audio software are up - to - date. This helps prevent any compatibility issues. Also, keep your storage space clean and organized to ensure smooth performance. When creating patterns, you can use the provided pattern library as a starting point. Then, if you want to get creative, drag in MIDI clips to make your own unique patterns. Have fun exploring the rich sounds of the Xun with this amazing sound library!
