The guzheng, a traditional Chinese plucked string instrument with a history spanning over 2,500 years, is renowned for its resonant sound and distinctive timbre. Typically featuring 21 strings stretched across a Paulownia wood soundboard, the guzheng produces melodies tuned to a major pentatonic scale. Modern players often use fingerpicks made from materials like plastic, resin, tortoiseshell, or ivory to articulate its expressive tones. This instrument's rich cultural heritage and unique sound continue to inspire musicians across various genres.

Neo Zheng offers an immersive experience by sampling four carefully selected guzhengs, each bringing unique sonic characteristics. With up to 16 velocity layers and round-robin samples for every playing technique, this library captures the instrument’s nuances with exceptional detail. It also introduces two electronic guzheng sounds, expanding creative possibilities especially for modern and electronic Chinese music styles. The inclusion of both solo and ensemble guzheng sounds, with customizable ensemble sizes, provides a fresh and rich palette that was previously underrepresented in Chinese instrument libraries.

Recorded in the prestigious National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, Neo Zheng benefits from four stereo microphone perspectives that capture everything from intimate details to the full hall ambience. This extensive 832GB library leverages hybrid modeling technology to deliver lifelike bends, vibratos, and tremolos, allowing real-time timbre changes and expressive playability. Innovative legato and free bending systems enable musicians to replicate the guzheng's natural sound articulation, making Neo Zheng a powerful tool for authentic and dynamic performances.
