Overview

Ample China Pipa includes two sample libraries, Modern and Traditional, with 8.6 GB of high-quality samples.

The Pipa is one of the most representative traditional Chinese plucked string instruments. Its tone is bright and crisp, with clearly defined attacks, combining delicate expressiveness with powerful dynamics. Tremolo and strumming are among its most characteristic playing techniques. Together with a wide range of right- and left-hand techniques, the Pipa can express both delicate, lyrical passages and fast, intense, powerful music.

  • Performers: Yin Chen (Principal Pipa, China Broadcasting Chinese Orchestra), Lisha Shang(Pipa performer)
  • Instrument: A handcrafted reproduction of a Ming Dynasty Fengwei Pipa, made by Weidong Cao.

System Requirements:

  • macOS: macOS 10.15 or later.
  • Windows: Windows 7 through Windows 11, 64-bit.
  • Plugin Formats: VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX, plus the standalone application (Rectangles VST3).
  • Storage: 10 GB or more. An internal SSD is recommended, or an external SSD connected through a high-speed USB interface.
  • CPU: Intel Core i5, AMD Ryzen 5, Apple Silicon M1, or higher.
  • Activation: Activation through the free iLok License Manager software (no hardware dongle required), or with an iLok USB dongle.

Samples:

  • Includes 11 articulations: Sustain, Natural Harmonic, Straight Tremolo, Expressive Tremolo, Legato Slide, Hammer-On & Pull-Off, Bend and Release, Bend Up, Bend Down, Short Tremolo, and Strum.
  • Three fast continuous articulations ¡ª Tremolo, Roll Tremolo, and Shake Tremolo ¡ª are fully sampled. Tremolo also supports legato, slides, and infinite looping. Multiple start positions allow notes to begin naturally according to playing velocity, accommodating different speeds, dynamics, and phrasing.
  • Polyphonic Legato and Slide Smoother: Enables realistic legato across any interval and speed.
  • Authentic left-hand performance noises.
  • Adjustable acoustic resonance.

Riffer 4:

    A MIDI editor tailored for plucked string instruments.

  • All-new Strumming and Chord System: The innovative ¡°Strum Note¡± treats multiple sub-notes within a chord as a single editable object, allowing unified control over strum time, velocity gradient, and legato parameters. Combined with authentic fingering settings, this makes strum creation more intuitive and efficient, delivering results that are closer to real performance.
  • Dual View Modes: Seamless real-time switching between Piano Roll and Tab views - a first of its kind, offering two perspectives for reviewing and editing the compositions.
  • String Visualization System: Strings are now visualized within the Piano Roll, enabling MIDI writing that adheres to authentic plucked instrument techniques - automatically preventing polyphony on the same string and intelligently assigning fingering. The result is MIDI that sounds closer to real performance.
  • One-Click Auto Expression and Auto Vibrato: Once a phrase is complete, natural Expression and Vibrato curves can be generated with a single click. Riffer analyzes note length, articulation, and musical context to determine whether Expression should be applied, then automatically selects an appropriate curve type and amount of variation, avoiding mechanical or excessive dynamic processing. For example, very short Tonguing or articulations such as Sforzando, which already contain significant dynamic variation, will not receive additional Expression curves.
  • Easy Articulation Editing: Easily edit fingerings, articulations, legato, expression changes, and other performance details, reducing the need for cumbersome Keyswitch and MIDI CC programming.
  • MIDI CC and Velocity Editors:Display multiple MIDI CC curves simultaneously using different colors and opacity levels. Curve presets allow the corresponding CC curves to be generated instantly with a single click.
  • Full MIDI Input and Output Compatibility:Whether importing external MIDI or exporting Riffer content to MIDI or instrument tracks in the host DAW, playback can remain fully consistent.
  • Riffer 4 also provides a range of MIDI editing tools, including Quantize, Swing, Legato, and Monophonic processing.

Strummer:

  • Select and detect two chord modes, with the ability to define any custom chord.
  • Strum SEQ allows strumming in any rhythm and at any speed.
  • Includes an extensive rhythm library with MIDI drag-and-drop support.

FX:

  • Built-in effects: 8-band EQ, Compressor, Delay, and Convolution Reverb.
