Product Overview

Samulnori Percussion captures the essence of traditional Korean percussion through a focused ensemble of four instruments: the puk, janggu, jing, and k'kwaenggwari. Each instrument represents a natural element, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both rhythmic and melodic, suitable for cultural scores or contemporary compositions.

Details

The library features 14 velocity layers across its instruments, allowing for nuanced dynamics and expressive performances. The janggu, an hourglass-shaped drum, offers a dual timbre with its high-pitched and deep sounds, while the puk provides a solid bass pulse. The jing, a gong, adds shimmering accents, and the k'kwaenggwari serves as a lead instrument, signaling transitions within the ensemble.

Each instrument can be edited individually or linked for a cohesive sound, with controls for pitch, pan, and volume. The Humanise module introduces subtle variations in timing and velocity, enhancing the organic feel of the performance. Additionally, the Euclidean Beats sequencer allows for innovative rhythmic patterns, making it easy to create complex grooves. The effects panel offers a range of processing options, including convolution reverb, to further shape the sound in your mix.
