BUILT FROM THE DEFINITIVE BALINESE GAMELAN LIBRARY

Sampling the unique, magical sound of a Balinese Gamelan is no small
undertaking. The 25 instruments that make up The LSO's Semara Dana Gamelan
Ensemble had to be recorded in great detail, as if each were to be a sample
library in its own right. Any compromise in the number of velocity layers
or the round robin alternate samples could result in the whole living,
breathing sound losing realism and dynamic expression.

WHICH INSTRUMENTS ARE INCLUDED?

How do you condense such a massive collection as a gamelan into an
easy-to-use, downloadable sampled instrument? We scratched our heads over
this one for a while, and decided to condense the essential gamelan sound
into 3 plug-and-play sets.

This means that you get all the tuned instruments ( reduced versions ) - the
big gongs, the wonderful paired metallophones and the kettle gongs, combined
and arranged across a chromatic keyboard, ready to play.

What you DON'T get is the percussion - the kendang drums, cengceng, kempli,
kajar, bebende, gentorak.

This set still weighs in at 2 GB, and is ideal for anyone that wants the
essence of gamelan, the magical flavour - without breaking the bank or the
hard drive.

Instruments Included in Balinese Gamelan Compact :

* 1. Core Instruments ( Combination of Gongs, Jegog, Calung, Penyacah )
* 2. Gangsa ( Combination of Ugal, Pemade, Kantilan )
* 3. Kettle Gongs ( Combination of Trompong and Reyong )
