iGuzheng's innovative "Follow Play" feature allows even complete beginners to effortlessly play professional Guzheng pieces! Guzheng is a Chinese plucked zither that dates back to 500 B.C. It is rich in playing techniques. The performer plucks the strings with his right-hand fingernails, while his left-hand fingers apply pressure to the strings to execute vibratos, slides, and other embellishments , as well as occasional plucking techniques. iGuzheng supports many playing techniques, like an acoustic Guzheng: · Playing techniques for Right Hand: Pluck, Glissando, Tremolo (Shake/摇指), Automatic Tremolo, Overtone · Playing techniques for Left Hand: Pitch Slide, Small Vibrato, Big Vibrato, Tap Pitch (Dian Yin – 点音) Main Features: √ Follow Play: iGuzheng's original "Follow Play" feature combines Guzheng playing symbols with string positions to provide real-time playing prompts, allowing even complete beginners to effortlessly play professional Guzheng pieces! ** Supports setting to follow only the right-hand part or both hands! ** When following only the right-hand part, iGuzheng will automatically play the left-hand part for you! ** Can be set to automatically play left-hand pressing actions: pressed notes, glissando, vibrato, etc. [Appendix] Meanings of various lines in Follow Play: Vertical line – Represents a "chord line," commonly used for major plucks, minor plucks, and chords.

最专业快捷的古筝调音器】 有时我只想要一个简单的古筝调音器,无奈市场上的应用大而且笨重,操作又极其复杂,它们大部分功能对我来说都是没用的,如何快速简单调音才是我最关心的。所以我决定自己开发一款简单的古筝校音应用,希望回归到我们最原始的需求。 ==功能特色== - 预设古筝各弦音高。 D6/B5/A5/F#5/E5/D5/B4/A4/F#4/E4/D4/B3/A3/F#3/E3/D3/B2/A2/F#2/E2/D2 - 动态指示,系统会动态指示当前弦音的位置,是偏高还是偏低。 - 语音导航,你可以不看屏幕进行调音,减少不必要的操作。 - 自动切换下一弦,当前弦调音成功后自动切换下一弦,无需手动切换。 - 自定义弦音高,你可以按照自己需要调整每条弦的目标音高。 - 误差范围设置。你可以根据自己需要调整误差范围,误差越小,越准确,同时调音难度越高。 - 常用小工具:节拍器、测速器 好好享受古筝的的演奏吧! 另附上用户服务协议: https://179music.com/2019/09/20/Terms_of_Service/
