US Production tool offers the sound of 38 traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean instruments 29/06/21

Native Instruments has released EAST ASIA, the latest addition to their SPOTLIGHT COLLECTION (formerly known as DISCOVERY SERIES) – described as a range of inspiring instruments that capture evocative sounds from specific styles, scenes, and cultures. This is what they have to say about it...

Painstakingly recorded from virtuoso performances on location in Seoul, Shenzhen, and Tokyo, the melodic and percussive instruments in EAST ASIA offer a wide range of authentic sounds for modern productions.

EAST ASIA delivers an exhaustive selection of instantly recognizable string, wind, and percussion sounds, which includes dulcimers, flutes, lutes, oboes, gongs, drums, and cymbals.

The instrument's built-in traditional scales and tunings let producers quickly create melodies and rhythms with an authentic sound. Each instrument and ensemble comes with an array of preset grooves and phrases, which can be further tweaked with intuitive macro controls, allowing distinctive parts to be constructed easily.
