Encyclopedia of China

The only full Chinese solo and ensemble instruments bundle

Encyclopedia of China is the most detailed Chinese Solo and Ensemble instruments collection. It contains over 20 years of effects to record a wide range of Chinese instruments, and over 1,000 musicians contribute to the final product.

Not only featured Chinese instruments but in order to make the modern Chinese style of music, Encyclopedia of China also features a full symphony orchestra which misses in many Chinese libraries. 

Encyclopedia of China is a bundle of Chinese solo and ensemble instruments. It contains the full version of China Impression, China Ensemble, and Neo Orchestra CE.

Historic Sound Meets Innovative Technology

Powered by Sound Magic’s latest Neo Orchestra Engine. This 36th TEC Awards nominee engine utilizes the 7th generation universal hybrid modeling technology that Sound Magic keeps developing for over 10 years. What is more, on some instruments like Erhu, Sound Magic first utilizes Music Domain Synthesis, our latest cutting-edge audio technology.

The beautiful and historical sound of Chinese instruments has inspired us to expand our Modeling Legato technology to bring you even more creative musical freedom.

It is capable of supporting any technique, patches, or articulations with more control over the parametric. This allows you to manipulate shapes and sound variety in real-time with smoother transitions between notes than a sampled legato.

Hybrid Vibrato and Tremolo

We further expanded our technology to achieve more authentic sounds from sampling without sacrificing creative control. For perspective, this means starting with non-vibrato and then fading in vibrato sustain while changing depth and speed. Or, you can also change Tremolo speed in real-time while optimizing control or leveraging human behaviors in the vibrato for enhanced realism in the final version.

Limitless Sound-Shaping Possibilities

Encyclopedia of China offers far more sound-shaping options than a sampling instrument with five bands of parametric EQ and more control over the harmonic partial sounds. This means you can quickly change timbre with a simple turn of a knob or tune every single note with the Scala tuning system.

We’ve also made it possible to finish all techniques on a single track with our performance key-switch system that allows Neo Erhu to be used in live performances without compromising quality or efficiency.
