Description: The largest collection of Chinese and Mongolian virtual instruments out there. A unique and immersive collection featuring the best Chinese musicians, recorded in their country with state of the art equipment and deep sampling with 4 dynamic layers. Ethnic Chinese orchestra, percussion section, two or more choirs in one package.
We learned so much about ethnic instruments when we auditioned for the Balkan Ethnic Orchestra in 2017. After three years of perfecting the sampling process, Strezov Sampling is finally bringing you the next product in our Ethnic series. Inspired by the distinctive sounds of Chinese instruments and Mongolian singers, we decided it was time to create an inspiring instrument in this area to fill a huge gap in today’s virtual instrument world. Composed of over 50 instruments distributed across over 100 instrument patches, Jade Ethnic Orchestra gives you the ability to choose between several categories such as bowstring ensembles, bowed string solos, plucked strings, voices, woodwind, percussion (based on our mechanism X3M)) and developed soundproof tablets, created especially for the library by Lubomir Goshev. The library was jointly produced by composer and multi-instrumentalist Seth Cui, who conducted and recorded sessions in Beijing, China. JADE Ethnic Orchestra is a huge collection of Asian ethnic instruments. Most of the instruments taken from the samples come from China, but along with them we have included others, such as the Hoomai male choir, Longsong Mongol quartet, Moorin-Khuur, Shakuhachi and many others that Asia should be proud of. A detailed list of the contents of the library, detailed descriptions of the tools, and other technical information can be found at the end of this guide.
JADE is an absolute monster, and not just for composers who want to do traditional Asian music. For those interested in modern hybrid, folk-punk-ethnic styles, JADE deserves some serious consideration. The PADS instrument alone is an extremely deep collection of amazing textures that sound modern but with old world textures. Amazing things.
