Sampling
the unique, magical sound of a Balinese Gamelan is no small
undertaking. The 25 instruments that make up The LSO's Semara Dana
Gamelan Ensemble had to be recorded in great detail, as if each were to
be a sample library in its own right. Any compromise in the number of
velocity layers or the round robin alternate samples could result in
the whole living, breathing sound losing realism and dynamic expression.

The Professional Edition:
The
flagship set is composed of single and paired Kontakt versions of the
Gamelan instruments (click on picture above). As many of the
metallophones are played as a detuned pair, for convenience we have
grouped them this way, including KSP scripting to humanise the velocity
and timing for a natural response. Paired instruments also feature
separate volume and pan controls. Smaller percussive instruments like
the Kempli are grouped together, with KSP level and pan controls for
fine tuning.

Natural Programming and Lifelike Articulation:
All
possible articulations and variations have been meticulously recorded
and programmed into the Professional Edition instruments. Keyswitches
are used in the metallophones to provide the two articulations, free
and damped attacks. The two kendang drums are mapped with various types
of hits, separated into the left and right hands/drum heads, as well as
strikes with the pangul, a wooden drumstick. The Kempli, Bebende and
Kajar are recorded open and damped, each with a selection of different
beaters. Each hit of every instrument has many alternative samples, to
ensure that 'machine-gunning' never occurs - essential in an instrument
that plays such dense percussive sequences.

About Gamelan:
A
Gamelan is an ensemble of instruments originating from Indonesia. The
majority of Gamelan instruments are percussive, and most of these are
bronze. They include xylophone-like metallophones of different sizes
and pitch, tuned gong chimes, very large pitched gongs, and an
assortment of drums and percussion. There are many types of Gamelan
ensembles, but the two dominant types are Javanese and Balinese.
Balinese Gamelan has a characteristic 'shimmering' sound which is due
to the detuning of paired instruments playing the same musical part.
Although
Gamelan music has been around for centuries (there is evidence of
instruments existing before 800 AD), it is very much a living music in
Indonesia, and is growing in popularity in the west. Styles keep
evolving and new Gamelan music is being written all the time. Balinese
"Gong Kebyar", a particularly flamboyant style, has dominated much of
the century and is probably Bali's most famous export.
Gamelan music
is very much about the collective - it has been described as 'a
negotiation between musicians'. Many of the musicians play interlocking
parts, in which alternate notes are shared between two instruments.
This technique enables the ensemble to play incredibly fast passages.
