Discover the Cinematique Instruments Concert Zither v2, a meticulously crafted Kontakt instrument that captures the enchanting sound of the Alps with a modern twist. This vibrant plugin brings the classic allure of the zither, a stringed instrument with a rich heritage in Central European music, into the digital realm. With its 36 strings—including fretted melody strings, unfretted accompaniment, bass, and contrabass strings—the Concert Zither v2 offers a versatile palette of sounds that range from mellow and earthy to sharp and dynamic.

Cinematique Instruments have taken great care to explore every sonic possibility of the zither. They recorded each string with a blend of two microphone types, ensuring a rich and detailed audio capture. The result is a diverse set of 5 articulations: Finger, Plec, Muted, Reverse, and Bow, each offering unique textures and tonal qualities. Augmenting this are 4 intricately designed FX patches including glissando, rotary, drive, and an octaver, pushing the zither's sonic capabilities even further.

The Concert Zither v2 doesn't stop at just authentic string sounds; it also includes an arpeggiator and a step sequencer to inspire creativity and add rhythmic complexity. With over 2100 samples and a newly revamped design in version 2.0, this plugin is not just an instrument; it's a gateway to a world of musical exploration.
