Ample Sound – China Dongxiao: The Ultimate Virtual Woodwind Experience 🎶

Unleash the soul-stirring melodies of the traditional Chinese Dongxiao with Ample Sound – China Dongxiao, an ultra-realistic virtual instrument crafted for expressive and dynamic performances. Designed with cutting-edge sampling technology, this VST plugin delivers an authentic and immersive playing experience that captures the warmth, depth, and nuance of the ancient woodwind.

🌟 Multi-Mic Recording for Authenticity

Recorded with 5 high-quality microphones (Front, Middle, Back, and Stereo Ambient), this sample library allows users to shape their sound with adjustable mic volumes and built-in channel EQ. Choose between Mono, Modern, or Traditional mic modes for rich and colorful sound design tailored to any genre or arrangement.

🎶 Expressive Articulations & Grace Notes

Featuring an extensive collection of three articulation groups:

• Head Group (Blue Keyswitches): Perform intricate grace notes at the head of a phrase, with ascending and descending variations.
• Body Group (Yellow Keyswitches): Use for articulation legatos, offering natural expression and fluid transitions.
• Special Effects Group (Red Keyswitches): Add unique textures and experimental sound designs.

Each group occupies one octave, providing an intuitive and powerful way to craft lifelike woodwind performances.

✨ Unparalleled Dynamic Range & Timbre Control

The Dongxiao is known for its vast dynamic range, and this virtual instrument mirrors that authenticity with 5 velocity layers ranging from soft, airy tones to bright, strong projections. Additional layers include:

• Expression Articulation (2 velocity layers)
• Vibrato Articulation (2 velocity layers)
• Real Trill Samples

Fine-tune dynamics using the SAHDS virtual modulation system, enabling realistic note shaping with natural vibrato and evolving articulations.

🎧 Intelligent Legato System

The Auto Legato System ensures a seamless transition between notes, intelligently adapting to your playing speed and phrasing. With various legato types triggered by velocity values, you can achieve everything from graceful glides to smooth expressive transitions:

• Layering & Ripple Legato (High velocity)
• Grace Legato (Medium velocity)
• Straight & Soft Legato (Low velocity)

Activate Double Legato Mode with the sustain pedal for even more fluid phrasing and Endless Articulation Legatos, keeping performances natural and evolving.

🎨 Creative Mirroring & Sample Manipulation

Revolutionary Mirroring Feature: Flip articulations on the fly! Instantly transform Slide Up to Slide Down, or Slow-Fast Vibrato to Fast-Slow Vibrato, giving you unparalleled control over phrasing and expressiveness.

Additionally, with the Sample Skipping Technology, you can streamline performance without losing depth, while the Sample Loop Function allows for infinitely sustained notes when needed.
