Distinctive Sounds for Modern Productions

Recreate the timeless, nuanced sounds of EAST ASIA, from the delicate melodies of the Guqin to the breathy chords of the Shō. Add layers of character and tradition to soundtracks, or elevate contemporary tracks with unique melodies and rhythms.

Travel Across Three Countries

Painstakingly recorded from virtuoso performances on location in Seoul, Shenzhen, and Tokyo, the melodic and percussive instruments in EAST ASIA offer a wide range of authentic sounds for modern productions.

Emotively Melodic

Take your productions to China, Japan, and Korea with the unmistakable sound of bamboo and steel. Choose from a selection of 14 string and wind instruments, from blown flutes and oboes, to plucked lutes and hammered dulcimers. An exhaustive bank of customizable phrases allow distinctive parts to be constructed easily, while the instrument’s built-in traditional scales and tunings let you quickly create unique melodies with an authentic sound.

Playably Percussive

Whether you’re creating soundscapes with a specific regional flavor or giving character to modern electronic productions, EAST ASIA gives you an extensive range of instantly recognizable sounds including drums, gongs, cymbals, and woodblocks. Choose from 24 percussion instruments that can be free-played individually or as part of bespoke ensembles. Each instrument and ensemble comes with an array of preset grooves which can be further tweaked with intuitive macro controls.
