Features Overview

• Adjustable Sound Field - When samples were recorded, 3 different microphones were used with different positions to capture the spatial and reverb characteristics of Yangqin.  Left-hand and right-hand playing were recorded separately to obtain tone difference, and three modes of Hand Exchange are provided to make the instrument played in a natural way.

• Performances - A number of 11 performances was recorded, such as tremolo, vibrato and run-up/down. Vibrato were recorded in two velocities and can be controlled by MIDI CC. In addition, octave- and third-vibrato were recorded for more realistic performance.

• Realistic Expressions - Raindrop & Blade has real-recorded expressions that are freely controllable. With the control of MIDI CC, it can express tone changes like a real Yangqin performance.
