Soniccouture have released their epic
Balinese Gamelan in two new, smaller
products. The original 24GB set is now named
Professional Edition, and is joined
by
Composers Edition and
Compact Edition.
Composers Edition contains all the same instruments, the same number of
velocity layers and alternate samples as the Professional Edition, but the
samples are at 24bit 48KHz instead of 96Khz and are in Mono instead of Stereo.
This reduces the size to 5.7GB of data, and comes on one DVD instead of 3. The
full colour booklet is also included.
Compact Edition ( Download Only) condenses the essential gamelan sound into
3 plug-and-play sets. This means that you get all the tuned instruments ( reduced
versions ) - the big gongs, paired metallophones and the kettle gongs, combined
and arranged across a chromatic keyboard, ready to play.
This set still weighs in at 2 GB, and, say Soniccouture, is ideal for anyone that wants the essence of
gamelan without breaking the bank or the hard drive.
Pricing and Availability:
Professional Edition 24GB £199 $279
Composers Edition 6GB - £99 $149
Compact Edition 2GB - £49 $79
Until March 6th, all these sets are on special offer, with around 10% off each
price.
