Kong Audio releases QIN RV 2.0
engine update for the free ChineeGuZheng Classic
26th November 2012
Kong Audio has released an update for the
freeware ChineeGuZheng Classic
featuring the new QIN RV 2.0 engine.
ChineeGuZheng Classic
has an extensive sampleset which contains various
types of tremolo, slide, Glissando, and strumming.
It is the predecessor of the brand new
ChineeGuZheng II. The free ChineeGuzheng
Classic powered by the brand new QIN RV 2.0 engine
is now available for download.
Guzheng, as one of
the most representative Chinese instruments, first
appeared around the Warring States period (475 - 221
BC), then became extremely popular during the Tang
Dynasty (618 - 907 AD) and spread to all neighboring
areas ever since. Guzheng was originally a rather
simple instrument with only five strings. After all
the years of evolution, today's Guzheng has
twenty-one strings and is still widely used in all
kinds of Chinese music.
ChineeGuZheng Classic
is superseded by ChineeGuZheng II,
hence it is turned into freeware, and it is now
equipped with QIN RV 2.0 engine, giving it more
possibilities than before.
Even though ChineeGuZheng Classic is
much less expressive and less detailed than
ChineeGuZheng II, ChineeGuZheng Classic has its own
place. Other than the different sound character, one
unique feature that sets ChineeGuZheng Classic apart
from other GuZheng libraries is that it was
performed using GuQin's techniques. This subtle yet
distinctive difference makes ChineeGuZheng Classic
one good collector's item.
