Chang Erhu

About

Chang Erhu is a world instrument plugin by Embertone. It records every note transition within an octave for two legato styles, Slur and Slide. Users can build a virtual erhu ensemble of up to 8 players and adjust seating position, intonation and timing. The erhu is a two-stringed bowed instrument, also called a southern fiddle, and is part of the huqin family.

What it sounds like

Each legato transition is sampled twice, so repeated patterns trigger a different sample variation.
