YANGQIN Walkthrough | Native Instruments

Taken from NI’s most recent annual holiday gift package, which has now expired, YANGQIN captures the wonderfully moving tones of a traditional Chinese hammered dulcimer in an intuitive KONTAKT-based instrument. In this walkthrough Boris Mezga explores some of the instrument’s many features and parameter controls, and demonstrates how you can use YANGQIN to craft mesmerising melodies that will elevate any beat to a whole new level.

an instrument that leeds to our soul

[@walkernotte3019]

my grandmother had one of these at her house when I was a kid, I remember playing it with the mallets, it was incredible

[@DonMadDonald]

this guy could sell me a one string ukulele for 200$... I'm such a fan of him hahah... it just happened that he sells a good product!! btw thanks NI!

[@recordednowhere]

"its not so overused and still feels fresh" * prepares for the onslaught of yangqin powered lofi bedroom post hop * jk great stuff, love it

[@jazRock13]

my thoughts exactly XD

[@recordednowhere]

i uploaded a fresh death metal demo to my channel where all the guitars are yangqins.

[@maxalaintwo3578]

lofi bedroom post hop? And I thought metal had a million genres. This is getting outta hand

[@recordednowhere]

@@maxalaintwo3578 according to Spotify my fav genre is Hardvapour which apparently is a thing. So yeah, things have been getting out of hand for a while. 😄 Personally I think we are in a post genre era. 😄

[@maxalaintwo3578]

@@recordednowhere most definitely. It already happened to classical music, jazz, and rock. Raps demarcations are starting to dissolves as well. As the world gets more globalized and music production becomes more accesible to average people, I wouldn't be surprised if most music genres converge into one (very broadly speaking here; there will always be countermovements and curveballs.) Jazz and rock have already mixed and matched alot, same with rock and rap, jazz and latin, etc.

[@cpa314]

When are you gonna release a Discovery China Series? Seriously, its needed.

[@maxalaintwo3578]

This looks like the beginning of it

[@Heosmin]

Agreed

[@benkutta6328]

[@JAdeWii_]

Yesss

[@mgrisham71]

Drives me crazy that those studio monitors are not level! You even have a brick wall to match the height. The left monitor looks to be almost 3” lower than the right. My OCD cant take it! Lol. BTW, thanks for the great free instrument. It’s fantastic.

[@thebigpicture2455]

lol. Yeah...I got a facial twitch from that too.

[@NoQualmsTheArtist]

And the fact he has vertically designed monitors placed horizontally, they would sound horrible too.

[@Wheel333]

It is actually only 28.63mm higher if that helps.

[@mgrisham71]

@@Wheel333 Thankful you figured it out because I have been loosing sleep for months now! My doctors bills have been outrageous, not to mention my prescriptions!

Best demo ever

[@king6463]

Damn that grain delay effect took that sound to another level 👍

I finally got around to messing with this today. It will work quite well along with my Chinese bamboo flute, a Dizi. I intend to get a Xiao as well.
