ANCIENT KINGDOM

ANCIENT SOUNDS, MODERN MASTERY

Unleash the sounds of forgotten realms with Ancient Kingdom, a brand-new virtual instrument collection produced by Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix and featuring world-renowned recording artist Saulius Petreikis playing his rare selection of wind instruments from around the world. With four groundbreaking effects signal paths in addition to pristine multi-mic recordings, step into the unknown and let Ancient Kingdom transport your music into a dimension where the past meets the future and the spirits of lost worlds come to life with every note.

Ancient Kingdom’s intuitive user interface invites you to explore the primal essence of rare wind instruments while forging into transcendent sonic realms. Anchored by a vivid Center Display with striking 3D instrument models and immersive landscapes representing their origins, its interface offers effortless command over instrument libraries, articulations, multi-mic configurations, and more. The Left Panel empowers you to shape the sound with versatile Mood presets, powerful performance scripts, and precise MIDI controls, while the Right Panel transforms ancient tones into otherworldly textures through innovative FX mixes, convolution reverbs, and flexible channel routing. In addition to the pristine surround sound recordings, this collection introduces four groundbreaking signal paths. These paths employ various innovative techniques, utilizing amplifiers, vibration enhancers, metallic surfaces, distortion amplifiers, megaphones, tubes, and rotating speakers to create a dynamic and immersive auditory experience. These signal paths take the sounds into an other-worldly dimension like you’ve never heard before. The alternate signal paths enhance the presence and capture the listener’s attention by emphasizing the instruments' attack characteristics, offering a bold and vivid listening experience. Whether used in traditional compositions or experimental soundscapes, Ancient Kingdom provides a rich palette of sounds inspired by the historical essence of these magnificent instruments.

Ancient Kingdom features 26 instrument categories, each with an array of highly detailed instrument articulations and combinations across a range of instrument type sub-categories that includes Long, Short, Effects, Legato, and Keyswitch.
