Product Overview

Jade is an extensive collection of Chinese and Mongolian virtual instruments, featuring over 50 distinct instruments recorded with a deep sampling approach. This library captures the essence of traditional Asian sounds, making it suitable for film scores and projects that require an ethnic touch.

Details

The library includes a wide range of categories such as bowed strings, plucked strings, woodwinds, and percussion, all recorded with up to four dynamic layers and multiple round-robins for nuanced performance. Three mic positions—Close, Decca, and Hall—allow for flexibility in tone and space, catering to both intimate and expansive scoring needs. The inclusion of true legato sampling enhances the expressiveness of the instruments, while the Syllabuilder engine offers unique capabilities for lyric management and sound design.

Co-produced by composer Seth Tsui, the library features traditional ensembles like the Mongolian Longsong Quartet and Hoomai men choir, alongside solo instruments such as the Erhu and Pipa. The X3M engine powers the percussion section, providing extensive customization options. This instrument is designed to inspire creativity in scoring contexts that blend Eastern and Western musical elements.
