SOUNDIRON Angklung Core Technologies & Features

Deeply Sampled Indonesian Traditional Instrument: A complete set of 18 Angklung notes, spanning nearly 3 octaves, faithfully reproducing its unique sound composed of a pair of high and low octave bamboo tubes.
Dual Recording Environments & Multiple Microphone Positions: Provides both studio close-mic dry recordings and large concert hall space (Hall) versions, with Close, Mid, and Far microphone positions for users to freely mix and create their ideal spatial feel.
Extreme Realism & Round-Robin Technology: To avoid the "machine gun effect" of digital instruments, each note's up and down strikes are sampled independently. The dry version offers 48 Round-Robin variations per velocity layer (24 up/24 down), while the hall version provides 16 (8 up/8 down).
Sustained Play Mode: In addition to single strikes, the library also includes natural sustaining loops from handheld performances, with varying speeds and intensities, allowing for smooth velocity transitions through dynamic cross-fading.
Rich Ambient Soundscapes & Pad Tones: Includes a series of sustained Pads, Ambiences, and Soundscapes processed from the original Angklung bamboo recordings, adding a modern and cinematic feel to traditional sounds and expanding creative possibilities.
Powerful Built-in Tone Shaping Tools: Offers comprehensive parameter control, including volume envelope (Swell, Attack, Release), sample offset, vibrato, filters, pitch adjustment, etc., empowering users with full sound design capabilities.

Multi-functional LFO, Arpeggiator & Scale Lock

Adaptive LFO System: Built-in Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO) with selectable waveforms, modulation target parameters (e.g., volume, filter, pitch), speed, intensity, and support for tempo-syncing with the host DAW and fade-in time settings.
Customizable Arpeggiator: Offers powerful arpeggiator functions, including velocity table, arpeggiation direction, timing, swing, randomization, and note duration control, making it easy to create complex rhythmic patterns and melodic lines.
Scale & Key Locking: Built-in scale locking system that restricts played notes to common major/minor, pentatonic, or other modal scales, greatly facilitating melodic composition and live improvisation.
Multiple Filter Options: Provides 12 types of low-pass, high-pass, and special effect filters, with the ability to assign filter cutoff frequency to velocity, modulation wheel, expression pedal, aftertouch, keyboard position, or step sequencer for dynamic control.

Modular FX Rack

8 Customizable FX Slots: Provides a virtual FX rack with 8 slots, allowing users to load up to 27 different DSP effect modules in any order.
Rich FX Types: The FX library covers classic Phaser, Flanger, Delay, Distortion, Amp/Cab Simulators, Compressors, EQ, Rotator, and more.
High-Quality Convolution Reverb: The Reverb effect includes Soundiron's carefully selected convolution reverb Impulse Responses, featuring 99 types of different real spaces (rooms, halls, churches, etc.) and 40 types of creative FX impulses, capable of completely transforming the sound's spatial feel and texture.
Factory FX Chain Presets: Includes various FX Rack Chain presets meticulously crafted by the factory designers, allowing users to quickly load and achieve professional sound effects as a starting point for creation.
