Feature Overview
After the journey of a lifetime we are proud to present our biggest collection of virtual instruments to date: JADE Ethnic Orchestra.
We learned so much about ethnic instruments when we sampled Balkan Ethnic Orchestra in 2017. After spending three years refining our sampling process Strezov Sampling finally brings to you the next product in our Ethnic series. Being inspired by the special sound of Chinese instruments and Mongolian singers we decided it's hightime to create an inspiring instrument in that area filling a huge gap in today's virtual instrument landscape.
Comprised of over 50 instruments spread across more than 100 instrument patches, Jade Ethnic Orchestra gives you the option to choose between multiple categories, such as Bowed Strings Ensembles, Bowed Strings Solo, Plucked Strings, Voices, Woodwinds, Percussion (based on our X3M engine) and stemmed out sound-designed pads created especially for the library by Lyubomir Goshev. The library was co-produced by composer and multiinstrumentalist Seth Tsui, who conducted and recorded the sessions in Beijing, China.
JADE Ethnic Orchestra is a huge collection of Asian ethnic instruments. Most of the sampled instruments originate from China, but along with them we have included others, like the Hoomai men choir, the Mongolian Longsong Quartet, Moorin-Khuur, the Shakuhachi and many others Asia is to be proud of. A detailed list of the library's content, a thorough description of the instruments and other technical info can be found at the end of this manual.

What our community shares
“…once I started blending the sounds in JADE with some Western orchestral backing, it created beautiful textures and colors that I never got from other Asian libraries.Now I’ve gotten used to knowing how to use it, how to manipulate it and know this library --- it’s something that I can’t do without!! Bravo on making this wonderful library!!”

JADE is an absolute monster, and not just for composers who want to do traditional Asian music. For anyone who’s into modern hybrid-folk-punk-ethnic styles, JADE deserves serious consideration. The PADS instrument alone is a massively deep collection of amazing textures that sound modern but with an old-world texture. Amazing stuff. A++

I am very impressed with the Strezov products. The JADE Orchestra is one of my favorites and is a staple in my project templates. I love the versatility of the library, as well as the depth and intimate detail of each patch. The latest update to the library includes even more great content, I really love the new percussion patches. They are great! One of my favorite aspects of the library is that there are both soloists and ensemble patches for many of the instruments. This realism allows me to give filmmakers and producers accurate and authentic sounding demos quickly.

With the sky-high quality of its sample capture and individual instrumental performance control, Jade could comfortably become the centrepiece of your world-music sample collection.

FAQ
Can I use your libraries with the Kontakt Player?
As not all of our products come with unique serial numbers which you are to insert into Native Access, please pay close attention to the products' "Requirements" sections - they can tell you if you can power a certain library through the free Kontakt Player, or if you need to purchase the retail version of Kontakt in order to use the library to its fullest potential (for instance - Architecture of Sound is meant only for the full Kontakt v5.7.1 or higher, while Storm Choir Ultimate can be powered through v5.7.1 or higher for both the full / paid Kontakt and the free Kontakt Player).
Are there payment options other than PayPal at your store?
True, PayPal is our primary processor. But so that people don't feel pressed to use their services if they don't want to, we also accept money orders through Wise (formerly known as TransferWise) and regular bank wire transfers. Just leave your order open and reach out to our support team, please.
I bought one (or more) of your libraries through Native Instruments. Can I have it/them added to my account on your site?
Yes, indeed, please do! That way (assuming you're using different emails for our site and NI's) you'd get higher crossgrade rates to other libraries of ours'. Reach out to our support, and include the invoice you were issued and/or your serial number(s).
Do you offer educational discounts?
Yes, we do! We offer a total of 30% off all single products' full retail prices and, again, a total of 35% off all bundles (Counting the existing discount rates! For example, our CHOIR COLLECTION isn't subject to EDU pricing, as its discount is higher than 35%) . We only request that you provide us with a scanned image of your student / faculty / staff ID and a recently dated document proving that you are currently studying or that you are a faculty/staff member, and send it to support@strezov-sampling.com . And, of course - to save some time, include the product(s) you're interested in and are ready to purchase. Please note that the educational discount is not "stackable" with other offers we might be having at a certain point. And yes, a library's intro pricing is considered a promotional offer, so the same rule applies :)
I completed my order, but didn't receive any download links?
In the new version of our site, all our existing clients have profiles of their own, containing orders, download links for libraries and updates, personal / company information for invoicing, crossgrade options and gift cards. Try yours - we believe you will enjoy having everything in one place! :)
How do I add your libraries to my Native Access profile?
If you haven't received a Native Access serial number with one of the confirmation emails we are sending out, then the library you have purchased is to be treated as "third party" - we can't provide serial numbers for those and so the products aren't visible in the standard "library view" of Kontakt. We can still offer you a workaround for the Strezov Sampling libraries you are using.
Is there a specific OS version I must have in order to power any of your libraries?
Our libraries don't work in standalone mode without Native Instruments Kontakt, so you only need to pay attention to the required Kontakt / Kontakt Player version. If you can open Kontakt's respective version with your current OS, then you can be sure the library will work, as well.
