Konghou

Overview

Konghou by Sound Magic is a specialized virtual instrument that brings the ethereal and haunting sounds of an ancient Chinese harp to your digital studio. The original konghou was a cornerstone of traditional Chinese music that became extinct during the Ming Dynasty, only to be revived in the 20th century as a double-bridge harp. This software meticulously recreates that unique sonic profile, offering composers a bridge between historical authenticity and modern production flexibility.

Designed for high-fidelity performance, this library allows users to integrate authentic ethnic textures into their arrangements without the need for a physical instrument. Whether you are scoring a period piece or adding organic, plucked layers to a contemporary track, Konghou provides the nuanced articulation and tonal richness required for professional-grade sound design.
