Ancient Chinese instrument for Kontakt
The Guzheng is a Chinese plucked zither, ancestor of several Asian instruments such as the Japanese koto, the Mongolian Yatga and the Korean gayageum. It has 21 strings and movable bridges.
5 articulations: fingers, pick, stick, bow and e-bow. Traditional and alternative techniques in order to get the most out of this beautiful instrument with up to 4 round robin and 4 velocity layers.
Realistic tremolo effect where the last played note is re-triggered on release, control the velocity and intensity of the tremolo more naturally and musically. Pitch wheel affects only the last played note in order to create the effect of stretching a string on the real instrument.
Why you'll love Guzheng

Articulations
