This library captures the instrument's unique timbre, making it suitable for adding an authentic, atmospheric quality to various musical contexts, particularly those with an Asian influence.

The library includes five round-robin layers, ensuring a natural variation in performance. Articulations can be controlled via a modulation wheel, allowing for dynamic expression and automation during playback. A pitch slider enables quick adjustments, with the original recorded sound set at C#2. The space slider adds hall reverb for a more expansive sound or allows for dry samples to maintain clarity in the mix.
