What Ample China Konghou does
The instrument is built on the Ample Sound 4.0 engine and offers eight articulations, including arpeggios, tremolos, harmonics and pre-vibrato. Five close ambient microphones were recorded, and AB and MS stereo modes are offered. A dedicated Konghou Glissando engine generates scales automatically between two notes, and a voice-independent SAHDS modulation envelope shapes each note. Studio effects include an 8-band EQ, a dual compressor, a 6-tap echo and an IR reverb with a 3D spectrum display. The Riffer piano roll handles articulation editing with full MIDI compatibility.
Torrents, magnet link copies and repack archives packed as .rar or .iso are the usual forms, and a working serial key or keygen is the string most typed alongside the name.
