Noiseguild has released 24ToneGongs2: Bows&Rubs
24ToneGongs2: Bows&Rubs is the result of recordings in an anechoic studio with a tuned orchestral gong collection spanning 4 octaves. Varying from 70 - 6 cm in diameter.
These sounds come from the same instruments as 24tonegongs1, but sound completely different.
Features:
- Features 5 programs, Bows, Rubs and Bowed Harshly together with bows and rubs in the expression controller mode.
- Real anechoic recordings meaning that the gongs can be convincingly placed in various venues using your reverb of choice. No reverb on reverb sound.
- Expressive controller modes. For both the Bows and the Rubs there's a special mode included for use with one of the recent generation of controllers like the Seaboard, Continuum or Linnstrument.
- Timbral Variance Round Robin switch makes for a bigger timbral diversity when set to on by repitching other gongs to the note played.
- 4.8 GB uncompressed / 1.03 GB compressed sample content.
