Thank you Guys for the Quick News, here's more information:

 

New Release from www.amplesound.net

 

The Ample China Konghou (ACKH) is based on the new Ample Sound v4.0 sampling engine and sampled on a Peacock type 76-string Konghou.

The Konghou is an ancient harp-like picked string instrument that was introduced to East Asia from Persia over 2000 years ago. Unlike a harp, the Konghou has 76 strings in two rows. Each pair of strings connected to a bottom lever. Picking a string and pressing the corresponding string can produce articulations such as vibrato and bends.

The Konghou has a soft tone and a wide range (G0 – B5), making it suitable for various musical styles including film scores, game music, easy listening, new age, and pop etc.

The ACKH offers 8 articulations including Sustain, Nature Harmonic, Expressive Tremolo, Straight Tremolo, Short Tremolo, Ascending Arpeggio, Descending Arpeggio, and Pre-Vibrato 8 articulations, totaling 7.5 GB GB of samples.

Recorded using 5 microphones positioned left, right, center, and stereo ambience, each with individual channel EQ. 4 microphone modes are provided – AB1, AB2, MS1 and MS2.
Our instrument also includes various Konghou Glissando samples.

ACKH Glissando Mode:

- By pressing the begin and end notes, the system automatically generates a pentatonic, heptatonic, or Persian scale sequence in between (according to the Key setting);
- The time interval between the begin and end notes controls the duration of each note in the sequence, thus determines the speed of the glissando.
- The velocity of begin and end notes controls the variation in intensity, allowing for different variations from soft to hard or vice versa.

Voice independent SAHDS Modulation System.
Special Konghou bend system.
Tremolo system: Velocity controls the Start position of tremolo sample.

I just listened to the audio demo at Best Service and, wow,  that sounds absolutely gorgeous. I visited China years ago and found it to be a beautiful place and the sound of this instrument does remind me of my time there. 

@Jason Morin, you guys did a great job. I even love the image of the instrument itself on the GUI; it's really striking. Kudos.
