Ample China Dongxiao (ACDX) delivers the soulful, breath-infused tone of the traditional Chinese vertical bamboo flute in a deeply expressive virtual instrument, performed by Xiaokui Ding and built with Ample Sound’s advanced Woodwind Sample Engine. Capturing the sound of a masterbuilt Deep Blue Sea series G key Dongxiao by Linqiu Zhong, this 4.8 GB library features nuanced articulations across Head, Body, and Special FX groups — from graceful ascents and vibrato swells to improvisational phrases and intricate legato transitions. With powerful tone-shaping controls, adjustable wind layers, and a suite of studio-grade FX, ACDX offers composers and producers a beautifully detailed and highly playable recreation of one of China’s most evocative instruments.
