Looking for some asian instruments?

Hey guys/girls. Not trying to advertise or spam, just thought maybe I could help some folks out. I'm doin' some music for a fighting game and I needed something that sounded like a bamboo flute and Erhu. I'll be damned if I didn't come across some pretty good free options. Mini DIZI and Mini Erhu!

Check em' out if ya haven't heard of em. With a smidge of verb and playing around velocity and things like that, you can get some real convincing sounds I find. Pretty cool for freebies.

I didn't care for the Mini Erhu but the Mini DiZi is one of the best flutes I've ever used. Back in the day I used to use it for a lot of stuff and I wish I could figure out now what I did to make it sound so good.

Best part, if you don't want to install another VST, you can actually find an .sf2 file and just load it as a soundfont. Yeah I love that thing, I think I should buy the full version of it someday.

I didn't realize you could load it as a soundfont. Mini DiZI is badass indeed.

Well, and I wasn't too clear originally, you have to dig around in the program files to find it, but the samples themselves are loaded from a .sf2 file apparently and that means you can just load it as a soundfont if you want.
