With its serious and deep sound, Xiao is traditionally used in ritual music. In contemporary music, Xiao is often used in Chinese fantasy themes. Although the music played on the Xiao is usually slow and gentle, it is also good at reproducing heavy emotions through airflow attack and vibrato.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are three main varieties of Xiao: Dongxiao is what Three Body Tech presents with Lost Soul; Nanxiao, with a deeper sound, which is widely used in southern China; and Qinxiaom which has a softer sound compared to the previous two and is used specifically to accompany guqin (a 7-string plucked instrument).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"design\"\u003eDESIGN\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen Third-Body began initial design for Raindrop \u0026amp; Blade, what they had in mind was not only recording the actual Yangqin, but also presenting a more artistic sound through Third-Body's work in recording, mixing and adjusting. Third-Body also want its tone to be more flexible, adapting various genres, so you can use it in video games, films, pop music, or traditional Chinese music, even EDM. So Third-Body decided to record using multiple microphones and keep it that way in the actual software, in order to provide users more customization.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"recording\"\u003eRECORDING\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThird-Body used two parallel microphones, known as “A-B technique”, for near-field recording. For mid-field, the distance between the two microphones is nearly 8 meters (26 feet). It’s a bold move for an instrument has the size like Yangqin, but this is the only option for Third-Body to get the sound they prefer. These two microphones are in the actual software. By adjusting their distance and proportion, you’ll get the diverse sound they talked about. 20 different microphones have been tried during recording sessions. Third-Body choose a pair of Chinese brand microphone among all the classic brands! Yes, they’re shocked as you are. But the performance was so awesome as it highlights the “taste” of bamboo and wood from Chinese Yangqin. The feel of Chinese is amazing!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"adjustablesoundfield\"\u003eADJUSTABLE SOUND FIELD\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn order to retain greater adjustability, Third-Body designed three tones of Yin, Yang and stereo before the recording stage; in the recording stage, this design is achieved by choosing different microphones and positions; finally, Third-Body fully reserve these four channels (yin and yang are mono) to the sound source. Compared with simple EQ adjustment, this design brings more complex changes and adjustability\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"samplingengine\"\u003eSAMPLING ENGINE\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThird-Body Thechnoligy developed sampling engine with new fusion technology and designed specifially for their virtual instruments.
