KSP Retune Script
This script will retune any other Kontakt Instruments you load to the Gamelan tuning (assuming that the instruments you want to retune are tuned to equal temperament in the first place). This enables you to layer the Gamelan with other instruments.
Gamelan Booklet
As an introduction to this complex musical form, SC Balinese Gamelan comes with a 24 page booklet that offers a short beginners guide to Gamelan musical history, composition techniques etc, as well as explanations of using the instruments.

About the Audio Demos
We have created a selection audio demos that show the character and breadth of the SC Balinese Gamelan Library. Some of the demos use additional instrumentation, but mostly they are made with Gamelan instruments only. These are labelled 'Gamelan Only'.
Gamelan has been used in a few famous film soundtracks over the years ; we have tried to evoke some of these in the demos. Also featured are some more tradtional pieces written specifically for Balinese Gamelan, to give an idea of the classic Gamelan sound.
The mp3 demos in the player above have been mastered using compression and limiting. They have also been dithered to 16 bit and encoded as mp3. If you would like to hear the unprocessed, un-mastered 24 bit wav files, you can download them here in one zipped file: Demos 147 MB
Concert Pitch Update
Depending on your point of view, this update is either a saving grace or complete sacrilege. Some of you will appreciate the chance to play the gamelan instruments in western tuning, and some of you will just ignore this version and tell us we've sold out.
Nonetheless, in fairness to all the different types of musicians out there, here is a Gamelan Set tuned to western equal temperament.
