Hi everyone,
I'm pleased to announce the launch of our Ventus Series of ethnic woodwind instruments, starting with the breathtaking Shakuhachi! Featuring 15 deeply sampled playing techniques, two mic positions, 6,000+ samples including 600+ categorized phrases, and the debut of several new technologies, we're confident this is the most deeply-sampled shakuhachi ever released.
As composers, we felt that there simply wasn't enough selection in high quality, deeply sampled, non-Western woodwinds. So we began VENTUS to help us journey around the world with our own music, and I hope it will do the same for you.
Read on for more information and details!
