Ample China 4 refreshes the Chinese instrument lineup, while Ample China Xun arrives as a new sampled Xun. Current owners get version 4 at no charge, and a launch discount comes with the rollout. Riffer 4 is the big workflow shift, reshaping MIDI editing for winds, plucked strings, Erhu, and percussion.
Its editor can stop impossible note overlaps, manage strings and fingerings, build expression or vibrato curves, display several CC lanes, and preserve playback when MIDI moves between Riffer and a DAW. Version 4.1 speeds library access, redraws the interface for 5K screens, adds presets, and moves Rectangles to VST3. Older libraries require a fresh install.
Meanwhile, Ample China Xun carries more than 20 articulations inside a 4.5 GB library captured with five microphones. Notes average roughly eight seconds before looping is needed, while smart legato reacts to spacing with up to five velocity layers. It supports macOS 10.15 onward, 64-bit Windows 7 through 11, VST2, VST3, AU, AAX, standalone use, and iLok activation.
