Sound Magic Yangqin

Yangqin is a sample library and VST/AU plugin features Yangqin, an ancient Chinese instrument powered by latest Hybrid Modeling Neo Orchestra Engine

Chinese Hammered Dulcimer

The trapezoidal yangqin is a Chinese hammered dulcimer, derived from the Iranian santur. It used to be written with the characters (lit. “foreign zither"), but over time the first character changed to (also pronounced “yáng"), which means “acclaimed". It is also spelled yang quin or yang ch’in. Hammered dulcimers of various types are now very popular not only in China, but also Eastern Europe, the Middle East, India, Iran, and Pakistan. The instruments are also sometimes known by the names “santoor" and “cymbalom". This instrument had an influence on the Thai classical instrument, known as Khim.

This deeply sampled 3GB Library is the most detailed sampled Yangqin ever. And by using the latest hybrid modeling technology, it can also represent glissando, vibrato, bending and harmonic more vivid than other sampled instrument. The playability from modeling technology enables it to change timbre real time during playing, and this gives the sound more varieties and expressive than sampled instrument. What is more, we also include different playing noise inside the library so it can achieve a result you cannot even differentiate from the real ones.

Modelling Can Do the Things That Sampling Technology Can Not

You can start legato or glissando anytime you want, on any technique it has, not limited to the patch that has sampled legato. Also, you can change timbre in real times as a modeled instrument. With modeling technology, you can get an instrument that sound keeps changing, not the fixed or dead as a sampled instrument. In audio demos, you can clearly hear how the instrument changes through time; give the sound unlimited possibilities and varieties.

Ensure Best Sound Quality

To ensure the maximum accuracy and musicality in the reproduction of this complex and beautiful sound, we invited the virtuoso from the prestigious China National Orchestra in Beijing to record their wide variety of sounds. And we choose the studio with best recording gears to ensure the highest sound quality.

Unlimited Sound-Shaping Options

Yangqin offers far more sound-shaping options than a sampling instrument with five bands parametric EQ and more control over the harmonic partial sounds. This means you can quickly change timbre with a simple turn of a knob or tune every single note with the Scala tuning system.
