Ample China Erhu (ACEH) delivers an extraordinarily detailed and expressive virtual rendition of the traditional Chinese bowed string instrument, performed by acclaimed artist Ying Wang. Featuring three carefully sampled Erhus in the keys of D, C, and low G, ACEH spans a wide pitch range with over 7.6 GB of samples. It includes 30 articulations across Head, Body, Legato, and FX groups — from expressive tremolos and ricochets to sighing, crying, pizzicatos, and trills. Its intelligent legato system supports endless phrasing with customizable portamento, while multiple mic positions and EQ options provide flexible tonal shaping. Whether you're crafting haunting solos or intricate ensemble parts, ACEH captures the soul and nuance of authentic Erhu performance with precision and emotion.
