The Mongolian Vibe from the Steppes

Matouqin (horse-headed fiddle, aka morin khuur), as one of the precious

legacies of the Mongolian people, has been heartily embraced by Chinese

musicians today as a vital musical element. Its unique sound character

complements other classical Chinese instruments in a way like no others.

Matouqin is believed to be originated from the nomadic people during the

Tang Dynasty (7th - 10th centuries), and became widely known circa Genghis

Khan's reign. Nowadays, like many other Mongolian legacies, Matouqin has

become a valuable part of Chinese culture.

Besides the horse-headed pegbox, Matouqin is very recognizable for its

unusual playing techniques and styles. Our production approached Matouqin in

pursuit of the indigenous flavour instead of the more Westernized style, and

by delivering that flavour, all the composers and musicians now have a chance

to explore and express in the most authentic and original Mongolian flavour

easily.



Extraordinary Playability

Matouqin contains various types of legato, tremolo, trills, slaps, and

staccato, as well as special techniques, phrases and articulations.

With the extensive sampling, Modwheel triggered expressions, along with the

already established tradition of superior knowledge in the instruments, the

live playability of Matouqin is, like all the Kong Audio plugins, unmatchable.
