Topic: gamelan gender wayang
I'd like to be able to perform some gender wayang music on my keyboard/laptop, and am looking for a relatively simple sound source. I realize there are some (very large) gamelan instrument sample libraries available for purchase, but I'm wondering whether anyone has created physical models of Balinese or Javanese metallophones and gongs. I need two pentatonic-tuned metallophone voices, slightly detuned relative to each other, to split on my keyboard to play in the wayang-style, which is essentially a Balinese 2-part invention.
I love using Pianoteq as my primary instrument, and am wondering whether any of you know of something similar for gamelan instruments? Could the PT xylophone be modified into Balinese/Javanese tunings?
Many thanks in advance for your suggestions!
