加美兰之乐
GAMELAN(加美兰) 通常被翻译为“交响乐”，是印尼的一种传统乐器合奏形式，主要在爪哇或巴厘岛发展。 这种音乐有着许多音色特征，明亮、金属、打击，复杂而独特的调音，丰富的乐器层叠，以及特色的演奏循环。

合奏组之间虽然有着显著区别，但无一例外都是由多种乐器组合搭配而成，如金属木琴、木琴、鼓、锣、竹笛、弦乐，甚至是人声。 这些乐器都是为了特定的合奏而制作与调音，因此根据当前加美兰的不同，调音方式也会有所区别。 巴厘岛变奏曲的一个重要特性是，每一对乐器彼此都有轻微偏音，造成自然的合唱效果。

活灵活现的乐器音源
这次发行的乐器由来自伦敦交响乐团的 Semara Dana Gamelan 合奏团完成演绎录制，采样细致入微。 经过 Soniccouture 极富热情的制作与细致的力度分层采样，加美兰音乐那独特的音色与质感得以完整重现。

这款乐器将专注于精华的异调乐器，并分为三种类别： 大型锣，成对的金属木琴以及壶锣。
The Discovery Series returns for another cultural exploration, this time heading to Indonesia to delve into the world of the BALINESE GAMELAN.

This instrument contains 2 GB of pristine samples from several of the essential instruments that make up Gamelan. Powered by the free KONTAKT PLAYER (and also usable with KONTAKT), this instrument brings to life the rich and complex textures of Gamelan in its exquisitely-sampled classical form, yet also contains many features for tweaking and manipulating the sounds into new directions.

Created by the acclaimed sound-design house Soniccouture, the sound of the Balinese Gamelan can be heard across a wide range of genres and productions styles, from TV and film scores to electronic music compositions, and of course, classical Gamelan compositions.

Brief Background - The music of Gamelan
Often translated as "Orchestra", Gamelan is an ensemble of instruments from Indonesia, typically Java or Bali. Ensembles can differ significantly, but would be often made up of a combination of metallophones, xylophones, drums and gongs; bamboo flutes, bowed and plucked strings, or even a vocalist. Each instrument has been built and tuned for playing in that specific ensemble, so tunings can differ considerably between Gamelans.

One of the most distinctive aspects of Balinese gamelan is that each instrument is paired, and the pairs are slightly detuned. This results in a natural beating between the instruments - perhaps the oldest chorus effect on the planet.

Culturally, the Balinese Gamelan has strong religious associations, being an integral part of many Hindu ceremonies, as well a focus for secular celebrations and festivals. Balinese Gamelan is significantly different from the quieter, more "courtly" style of its Javanese counterpart, perhaps due the differing historical religious climates of the two islands.

Gamelan music is most often characterized by its bright, metallic, percussive qualities, its distinctive and complex tuning, the rich layering of instruments, and its cyclical form. The instruments themselves are often beautifully crafted - traditional Indonesian thinking sees the gamelan as sacred, with a belief that each instrument is guided by spirits.

BALINESE GAMELAN - The Instrument
The instruments in this release were sampled from the London Symphonic Orchestra\'s Semara Dana Gamelan Ensemble in exacting detail. The lengthy process ensured that the living, breathing sound lost none of its realism thanks to the painstaking recording of numerous velocity layers - a true labor of love by Soniccouture.

This instrument features three essential elements of the larger Gamelan ensemble, focussing on compact versions of the tuned instruments, the big gongs, the paired metallophones and the kettle gongs. The instruments can be categorized thus:

The Core Instruments
Responsible for the basic structure and melody, the Core instruments are made up of the Gongs, the Jegog, the Calung, and the Penyacah. This instrument includes both the upper and lower groups of these detuned pairs, with easy control over volume and panning from the kontakt interface.

The Gangsa
The Gangsa is made up of paired metallophones, including the Ugal, Pemadé, and Kantilan. These are the busy elaborate instruments that decorate the melody with fast interlocking patterns. Again, simple access via the KONTAKT interface is available for adjusting the volume and panning of these detuned pairs.

The Kettle Gongs
The third element in BALINESE GAMELAN is the Kettle gongs that include the Trompong and the Reyong. These instruments have various functions depending on the type of Gamelan in which they\'re used. Sometimes they are used for melodic decoration or solo passages, other times they can be used for very quick elaborate parts, similar to the Gangsa.
