Sound Magic has released Neo Guzheng, a hybrid modelling Chinese Guzheng instrument that supports MIDI 2.0.
Sound Magic says.
Powered by the Qin Hybrid Modeling Engine, Neo Guzheng redefines the virtual plucked string instrument experience. Designed specifically for traditional plucked instruments such as the guzheng, the Qin engine combines advanced physical modeling with detailed sampling technology, delivering up to 65,536 velocity layers via MIDI 2.0 alongside virtually unlimited round-robin variation. Users can shape the instrument’s tonal character through adjustable physical parameters, unlocking a great level of realism, responsiveness, and expressive control.
Despite its remarkably compact 450MB footprint, Neo Guzheng achieves an expressive depth comparable to a massive 126GB sample library. Its highly optimized modeling architecture ensures ultra-fast response for real-time performance while providing limitless creative flexibility for composers, producers, and performers alike.

Neo Guzheng is available for macOS and Windows, VST3 and AU, for the introductory price of $99 (Reg. $199) until August 21st, 2026.
