Sampling the unique, magical sound of a Balinese Gamelan is no small undertaking. The 25 instruments that make up The LSO's Semara Dana Gamelan Ensemble had to be recorded in great detail, as if each were to be a sample library in its own right. Any compromise in the number of velocity layers or the round robin alternate samples could result in the whole living, breathing sound losing realism and dynamic expression.

Instruments Included in Balinese Gamelan Compact :
* 1. Core Instruments ( Combination of Gongs, Jegog, Calung, Penyacah )
* 2. Gangsa ( Combination of Ugal, Pemade, Kantilan )
* 3. Kettle Gongs ( Combination of Trompong and Reyong )
