Soniccouture Releases KIM Sampled Instrument In EXS24 Format

December 04, 2006

Soniccouture have released their very popular KIM sampled instrument in EXS24 format.

The Kim is a type of dulcimer or zither from Thailand, and is related to the Chinese yangqin. It is sometimes spelled khim.

The Kim consists of a flat soundbox with 42 wire strings stretched across in 14 sets of 3. The courses are struck with two thin bamboo mallets with soft leather tips.

The Kim was sampled at 24-bit /44.1 and contains 184 MB - 137 separate unlooped samples. Each note was sampled individually with 4 velocity layers, twice, to give an extremely natural, expressive response.
