Neo Erhu is an innovative virtual instrument that employs Music Domain Synthesis and Hybrid Modeling Technology to deliver a fresh take on traditional Chinese string instruments. Compatible with both Mac and Windows platforms in various plugin formats, Neo Erhu offers a modern solution for digital music production. Unlike conventional sampling and modeling techniques, Music Domain Synthesis creates instruments from the ground up, allowing for greater flexibility and eliminating the limitations typically associated with sampled sounds.

Building on this technology, Neo Erhu significantly expands the capabilities of the traditional Erhu by extending its chromatic range to 42 keys, covering 3.5 octaves. This extended range also accommodates the Zhonghu and Jinhu instruments, making Neo Erhu a multifunctional tool for musicians. It enhances the high-frequency response with purer, fuller tones, overcoming the traditional Erhu’s weaknesses in the upper octaves. Additionally, the lower octave is enriched to provide more vivid expression, offering a dynamic and expressive performance across a wide velocity range from very soft to very loud.

Neo Erhu includes all playing techniques associated with Erhu, Zhonghu, and Jinhu, allowing seamless switching between these traditional instruments via presets. This feature ensures users retain full compatibility with traditional sounds while exploring new creative possibilities. The combination of Music Domain Synthesis and Hybrid Modeling Technology not only delivers authentic and expressive tones but also paves the way for future enhancements as these technologies evolve, making Neo Erhu a reliable and forward-looking choice for musicians and composers.
