Description
An Asian drum library featuring the Thai instrument the Poeng Mang Khok – (เปิงมางคอก).
The Poeng Mang Khok (เปิงมางคอก) plays a percussive role in the traditional Thai Piphat
Mon ensemble.
The Poeng Mang Khok is a membranophone, with 7 tuned drums covering around an octave (depending on the actual tuning). Traditionally these drums would have been leather faced, but for convenience and stable tuning we have recorded the very similar sounding synthetic head version. The instrument is played bare hands or occasionally with elbows or head. There are two types of playing. A traditional hit, creating a boomy sound and then a slap, which effectively is a muted sound of the drum
The instrument has been recorded at 24-bit and at a sample rate of 48 kHz and contains 4200 samples capturing the 2 different playing styles with 15 round robins which allows for a huge variety in sound when played. Each round robin contains 5 velocity layers, allowing for a large range of dynamics.
This instrument has 4 microphone positions (Close, Audience, Overhead and room) available to choose from.
The instrument also comes with built-in effects, including convolution reverb, delay, lo-fi, transient designer, and a Limiter. There is also an additional section containing an EQ and filters.
This library requires a Native Instruments version 6.6.0 (R133) or higher. This product will not work with Kontakt Player edition.
