Sound Magic Releases Neo Zheng, a comprehensive Chinese zither virtual instrument

Friday April 30, 2021. 06:49 PM , from Gearslutz
Audio technologies developer Sound Magic is proud to announce availability of Neo Zheng — its latest hybrid modelling virtual instrument for Mac (AU 32-/64-bit, VST 32-/64-bit) and Windows (VST 32-/64-bit), featuring Guzheng, a comprehensive Chinese zither virtual instrument powered by the latest Neo Orchestra Hybrid Modelling Engine. — as of April 30th, 2021.

The zheng or guzheng, also known as a Chinese zither, is a Chinese plucked string instrument with a more than 2,500-year history. The modern guzheng commonly has 21 strings, is 64 inches (1.6 m) long, and is tuned in a major pentatonic scale. It has a large, resonant soundboard made from Paulownia. Other components are often made from other woods for structural or decorative reasons. Guzheng players often wear fingerpicks made from materials such as plastic, resin, tortoiseshell, or ivory on one or both hands..

Neo Zheng is sampled from 4 carefully picked guzhengs that have their own characteristics, which gives users plenty of room to use this sound source in different genres of music. Each technique has up to 16 Velocity Layers and Round Robin Samples to ensure precisely reproducing every bit of Guzheng sound. This makes the sound of the Neo Zheng extremely expressive. In addition, Neo Zheng also includes two electronic guzhengs for the first time. The sound of the electric zheng is very suitable for avant-garde music styles such as various electronic Chinese styles. It is hoped that these electric kites that appear for the first time can play their due role in the popularization and promotion of the electronicization of traditional Chinese music.

Not only includes the solo guzhengs, Neo Zheng also includes the Guzheng ensemble sound, and through the free combination with the solo sound, it can synthesize the ensemble sound with different numbers of players. The sound of Guzheng ensembles has its own unique charm, and it is also the content that has been lacking in the source of Chinese libraries before.

Neo Zheng has a MSRP as $199, now has an introductory offer as $99 until July, 2021.

Neo Zheng is available to purchase online directly via Sound Magic Co., Ltd for $99.00 USD from here:
