The dizi is a charming Chinese transverse bamboo flute. A unique feature is the extra hole between the embouchure and finger holes. A wrinkled membrane called 'dimo' is glued over it, resonating like a kazoo. The louder you play, the more the dimo vibrates, making the sound brighter, louder, and adding a buzzing, nasal tone. This Synchron World Winds Pack includes two dizis in G and D keys. Typical playing techniques involve various ornaments, grace notes, portamentos, and accentuated note releases. Both dizis were played by Veronika Vitazkova, a multi - instrumentalist and folk instruments expert from the Synchron Stage Orchestra. She has a rich performance history, having played in top orchestras and at prestigious festivals. Our engineers used seven phase - coherent microphone setups to capture the amazing ambience of 'Stage A' at Synchron Stage. All signals are available as separate channels in the Vienna Synchron Player, and a wide range of presets offer great starting points for your sound creations. The natural sampled tones of each dizi are diatonic, but the software provides chromatic keyboard mappings and chromatically sampled legatos. Remember, due to the non - chromatic nature of the instrument, not all keyboard play may be performable by a musician. The Standard Library has 21,545 samples, with a 1.6 GB download size and 6.8 GB installed size. The Full Library has 34,472 samples, a 2.5 GB download size, and 12.0 GB installed size.
Using the dizi in this pack is easy. First, select your desired dizi from the keys of G and D in the Vienna Synchron Player. You can then start playing with typical techniques like adding ornaments and grace notes. The presets in the player are a great place to start for sound customization. When playing, keep in mind that because the natural tones are diatonic, not everything on the keyboard can be played on a real dizi. As for maintenance, since it's a virtual instrument, there's no physical upkeep. But make sure your software is updated regularly to enjoy the best performance. And don't forget to check your system storage, as the installed sizes can be quite large depending on whether you choose the Standard or Full Library.
