Acoustic Dhol 2 Lite is a sample-based virtual instrument that captures the authentic sound of traditional Indian Dhol drums. The instrument features samples recorded from real metal, wood, and fiber Dhols using condenser microphones from multiple positions, ensuring rich and natural tones. This version includes one Dhol kit with over 15 articulations and supports velocity sensitivity to provide dynamic and expressive performances. It is designed to work seamlessly within major digital audio workstations supporting VST3, AU, and Mac VST3 formats on both Windows and macOS platforms.

The instrument incorporates intelligent round-robin sampling to avoid repetitive sounds, enhancing the realism of each hit. It also offers built-in sound shaping tools such as low-end sub and 808 oscillators, tuning options, and low-pass and high-pass filters. Additional features include volume and pan controls, an algorithmic reverb effect, and a level meter to fine-tune the sound within your mix. The free Lite version acts as a player, while the full instrument requires purchasing the factory expansion, which provides extensive sample libraries and preset variations.

Acoustic Dhol 2 Lite requires modest system resources, including at least 1GB of RAM and a compatible 64-bit CPU, with recommended specifications for optimal performance. It supports ASIO drivers and various audio interfaces, making it accessible for both amateur and professional producers. Whether you want to add authentic Indian percussion to your project or experiment with traditional rhythms, Acoustic Dhol 2 Lite offers a high-quality, easy-to-use solution directly within your DAW.
