------24 bits 48 Khz high quality wooden-type class Chinese Zither-GuZheng instrument----
The Chinese Zither-GuZheng is an ancient Chinese plucked instrument is used for over 2500 years.
It is different from the Japanese Koto in that it has more strings, a wider sound range, and a larger wooden body.
Because of its classic wooden harmonic structure, its sound is similar to a harp, but has even more lucidity and clarity.
There are many different types and classes of GuZheng, but as a traditional Chinese instrument the best wooden class GuZheng is found in China or Taiwan ROC.
The GuZheng that we sampled is from a player with over 20 years experience.
Instead of being limited to just the Chinese style pentatonic scale, we developed the Chinese Zither-GuZheng to be as playable an instrument as possible.
You can play any musical scale or music style on your keyboard by simply pressing a key to trigger tremolo, and then using the mod wheel to make tremolo motion changes,
or add and select an additional control device to control the tremolo sound.
You can also use the mod wheel to select the pick direction, either forward or backward, or alternating.
With our Virtual bending pitch wheel system ( also found in our AC Modulator ) the pitch change of each note can be modulated separately.
Without the pentatonic limit, the Chinese zither is freed to play harp, nylon guitar, or even acoustic bass parts.
You can play and program any music style that you wish to, its lucid and clear sound encourages exploration.
This is an old Chinese zither style song written 2000 years ago.
The Chinese Zither-GuZheng simulates tremolo technique, string bending pitch change,
and alternate picking in the same midi track without any loops, or audio phrases - every sound that you hear is played in realtime!.
