5.2. Tremolo and Damping
A Yangqin is played by striking the strings with hammers, traditionally made of bamboo wood. As
the sound of a single hammered note dies off rather quickly, the sound can be sustained by
playing multiple notes in succession.
This technique is called Tremolo. YANGQIN includes controls for adjusting the intensity of the
Tremolo, as well as a separate control for damping the sustained notes.
The Tremolo slider controls the loudness of the tremolo articulation.
• Tremolo Slider: Changes the amount of tremolo applied to the instrument. When the slider is
on the left side, no tremolo is added to the performance. Move the slider to the right to
increase the intensity of the tremolo effect. The value can also be adjusted with the mod wheel
(default control: CC1) of your MIDI keyboard.
• Sound Notes Damp: Dampens all notes that are currently playing. Damping can also be
performed by using the keyswitch B1.
