The Sound of Inconsolable Sadness
Characterized by the triste tone, GuanZi (literally means Pipe) is a
one-of-a-kind double-reed instrument from China.
Originated in Central Asia, like many other existing Chinese
instruments, GuanZi was embraced dearly and became an integral part of
Chinese instruments ever since the great Tang Dynasty (7th -10th
centuries).
GuanZi was once one of the standard instruments of court music. It was
also used in military and festival events, as well as monumental, burial
ceremonies. It is, sometimes, considered to be too distinctive to be a
team instrument though, hence resulted its slightly being overlooked
today.
Innovative Approach to the Pitch Envelopes
ChineeGuanzi is arguably the most expressive plugin in the whole Chine
Series so far, due to the innovative combination of pitch-envelopes with
keyswitching in the patch programming, all of which blend seamlessly
together with the priceless actual knowledge about the physical
instrument itself.
Please note this is the only sampled-based product that we are aware of
featuring such a huge focus on the pitch-envelopes to make an instrument
as lively playable as possible. We'd be very interested in learing if
there is any other similar product on the current market.
