Why you need Sound Module's sounds
Real instruments and strong personality synth alone would not mix easily and naturally in music. Well-made Sound Module PCM sounds will be mixed well in places or in total sounds. Moreover, can be used like as music workstation on the mobile environment because can play all-round player role.

Along with good point of this sound, small size virtual instrument by NHCL accomplished to load preset sound more quickly and has become convenient.
