Unlike Asian gongs, these aluminum flat gongs are designed to produce very clear pitch, with the prominent modes tuned to octave relationships so the pitch is unambiguous. The largest gong has a diameter of 30”, and produces a booming C2 pitch. The smallest is just under 7” and produces a G5. The tone is dreamy and ethereal, with a floating, swelling presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've faithfully sampled every interesting sound we could get out of these gongs, with two stereo mic positions: Contact mics, and mixed mics. Soft mallet center strikes, hard mallet center strikes, hard mallet edge strikes, knocks, taps, rubs and scrapes are all easily accessible with our four layer GUI. With up to 8x round robin and 8 velocity layers per note, you’ll be swimming in beautiful timbres in no time. We've also included a wide selection of custom FX presets and plenty of our signature sound-designed ambient content, crafted from the raw acoustic source to give you complete creative freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis library comes with an adaptable LFO system, with selectable LFO shape, modulation target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo-syncing and fade-in time. You can also apply your choice of 12 lowpass, high-pass and FX filters, with assignable modulation targets such as velocity, modwheel, expression, after-touch, key position and step-sequencer table control. Our customizable arpeggiator offers a velocity table and control over arp direction, timing, swing, randomization and duration. We’ve included a key and scale lock system to constrain your notes to common scales and keys for easy melodic composition and live performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft and hard mallet strikes, knocks, taps, rubs and scrapes in two microphone positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 ambient pads and evolving drones created from the source content\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21 Powerful Kontakt .nki instrument presets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7,126 stereo samples in unlocked .WAV format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28.2 GB Installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA flexible, intuitive user interface and mixer with pro features and deep customizability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull FX rack with convolution reverb with custom rooms, halls, chambers \u0026amp; FX environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis product is built for the full version of Kontakt\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soundiron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68455143637219,"sku":"1337-1273","price":19.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0280\/0199\/2756\/files\/500x500_INSTALLER_SQUARE.jpg?v=1794253591","url":"https:\/\/thefxchain.com\/products\/soundiron-hopkin-instrumentarium-flat-gongs","provider":"The FX Chain","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
