At the long long last, it's here.

Chinee Orchestra, the first and only complete solution for getting a Chinese orchestra arrangement done. Powered by the brand-new QIN RV engine, Chinee Orchestra sporting a dynamic range of inspiring sound palette, adding brilliance into all sorts of music creation, be it soundtracks, film scores, pop music, commercials or the live gigs. It is designed to meet the requirement of Chinese professional composers.

Chinee Orchestra contains 23 authentic instruments including everything in the acclaimed Chinee Series product line, and everything has been refined and polished to work as a whole.

What is QIN? QIN Engine is the native sample playback plugin developed by KONG AUDIO. All KONG AUDIO products are now based on QIN Engine.

QIN, literally means "instrument" in Chinese (琴). Originally Qin was the name of what we now call "GuQin", but in the modern day Chinese, the word is now being used as a general term for a wide range of instruments. QIN engine is specially designed from the ground up to fit KONG AUDIO's aims at maximizing the potential of recreating vibrant classical Chinese instruments.

QIN is an ongoing development. It will evolve with our dreams and user's feedback. It will be improved and it will improve user's experience at composing and performing using our crafted instruments. QIN RV 2.0 is rewritten from the scratch, even though it looks like QIN v1.0. QIN RV 2.0 is multitimbral and multiout now, making it much easier to arrange and manage the instruments while composing.

Thanks for the kind words!

Since Chinee Orchestra includes everything we developed as Chinee Series in the past 7 years, the demo tracks are abundant due to that our Chinee plugs are widely used (especially in Mainland China).
