• Plentiful recorded licks, Unique Guzheng techniques including various glissandos.
• All samples are actual recordings. All semitones are recorded with modified tuning.

Main Features:

• Ample Sound 4.0 sampling engine.
• New MIDI CC Editor

- Displays multiple MIDI CC curves with different colors and transparency.

- When selecting single or multiple notes, click the curve preset buttons to quickly generate the corresponding CC curves.

- Supports MIDI CC import and export.

- A variety of batch operation functions.

• Built-in Piano roll – Riffer Piano version

- Allows easy marking of articulations and expressions without the keyswitches.

- Fully compatible with standard MIDI for lossless import and export.

- Includes MIDI algorithm tools like Quantize, Velocity Rounding, Timing Rounding, Legato, and Restrict etc.

- When synced with the host, supports online and offline audio export.

- Each preset comes with a riff for a quick demonstration of the ACKH’s playing and tonal characteristics.

• Playing modes.

- Keyboard mode: 12 semitones, which can be played like a piano.

- Gliss mode:

· Original technology created to simulate two-hand glissandos. It is able to generate two glissandos at the same time (like played with two hands), and will automatically change the sample groups between left hand(mellow) and right hand(bright).

· Users only need to set the beginning and end notes, and the system will automatically generates the pentatonic scale notes(according to the Key setting) in between.

· The time between the two notes will determine the speed of the glissando.

· The velocity difference will control the velocity change of the generated glissando notes, which enables users to create rich performances.

- Instrument mode: 21 strings are controlled by 21 white keys over 3 octaves. The turning is automatically changed by Key setting.

• Voice independent SAHDS Modulation System.
