Best Service Lost Soul Chinese Xiao Virtual Instrument, Download

Virtual Chinese Xiao Instrument
Xiao is a Chinese vertically played, membrane-less wind instrument and is made from a bamboo stem. With its serious and deep sound, Xiao is traditionally used in ritual music. In contemporary music, Xiao is often used in Chinese fantasy themes. Although the music played on the Xiao is usually slow and gentle, it is also good at reproducing heavy emotions through airflow attack and vibrato.

There are three main varieties of Xiao: Dongxiao is what Three Body Tech presents with Lost Soul; Nanxiao, with a deeper sound, which is widely used in southern China; and Qinxiaom which has a softer sound compared to the previous two and is used specifically to accompany guqin (a 7-string plucked instrument).

Features Overview

Adjustable Sound Field
During the recording of the samples, 5 microphones were used in different positions to capture the room and reverb characteristics. All channels were mixed down to four which you can adjust in the user interface.

Authentic Performance
By controlling the airflow and fingering, the Xiao offers a variety of performances such as mordent, finger pole popping, trill, flutter, vibrato, staccato and gliss. All of these performances can be triggered from within the GUI.

Realistic Expressions
Lost Soul features realistic recorded articulations that can be freely controlled. Using MIDI CC, tone changes can be implemented as in a real hulusi performance.

Gliss
With three different speeds of real gliss samples and a sample synthesis technique, Lost Soul can perform gliss at any adjustable speed.

Vibrato Engine
Based on real samples, Lost Soul's LFO engine allows realistic and adjustable vibrato.

Sampling Engine
The self-developed sampling engine features the best sound quality, powerful disk buffer streaming/sampling compression technology and sound fusion technology.

Legato
The sound between legato notes was recorded in two speeds and is applied in the software according to the playing speed. In addition, "regular legato", "fast legato" and "popping legato" articulations specific to Chinese Xiao have been recorded.

Spectrum Fusion Legato Technology
To improve legato performance, the Spectrum Fusion Legato process has been developed where two samples are blended into each other to improve legato performance.

Convolution Reverb
Lost Soul contains convolution reverb samples of spectacular locations as well as famous Chinese natural and historical monuments.

Effects Rack
Compressor, EQ, Chorus and Ping-Pong Delay for shaping the sound of the Xiao to your liking.

Pattern Library
Lost Soul provides you with a pattern library that allows you to easily realize your works and ideas. You can also create your own patterns by dragging in MIDI clips.
