As can be heard from the audio demo (which is made with ONE SINGLE track of ChineeGuQin, without even using pitch-bending at all), ChineeGuQin captures not only the sound, but also the “silence” (string-sliding), which is essential to GuQin music.
从音频演示中可以听到(这是一个单一的中国古琴轨道，甚至没有使用音高弯曲)，中国古琴捕捉的不仅是声音，而且“沉默”(滑弦)，这是古琴音乐的必要条件。
