Impact Soundworks Koto Nation v2.0 KONTAKT | 3.26 Gb

The deepest koto, bass koto and shamisen library ever released, featuring world-class performer Masayo Ishigure! 2 mic positions, extensive dynamics and RRs, FX patches and extensive traditional and contemporary articulations. We created Koto Nation out of a desire to see traditional Japanese instruments receive a deep, thorough sampling treatment, much like our acclaimed North Indian sample library Sitar Nation.

While there are a handful of libraries which include samples of the koto and shamisen, they feature only the most basic articulations and few (if any) velocities or round robins. To our knowledge, the bass koto has never been sampled at all! Given the popularity of the shakuhachi and taiko in many Western film soundtracks, we wanted to allow film composers, hobbyist producers, ethnomusicologists, anime fans and everyone in between access to these classic instruments and complete the repertoire of traditional Japanese sounds available.

This library includes a massive number of samples spanning a wide variety of both traditional and extended playing techniques all recorded by koto legend Masayo Ishigure (Memoirs of a Geisha). This includes close and stereo room mic positions! A total of 25 main patches spread among the three instruments cover all crucial playing techniques, such as sustained picks with a plectrum, pizzicato, octaves, glissandi of multiple types and speeds, vibrato, tremolo, mordents (pitch bends), and mutes, as well as extended techniques such as atonal glissandi, finger scrapes, string hits and hard plucks.

Multiple dynamic and round robin layers were recorded for each articulation, as well as variations in speed or tonality where appropriate; for example, the koto tremolo can be played at two main speeds (with fine speed control), mordents can be set to whole-tone or half-tone, glissandi can be played slow, fast and in ascending, descending or mixed order, and so on. This incredible depth of sampling allows for unparalleled realism, allowing the instruments to stand alone in a solo context as well as in a larger composition.

虽然有少数的图书馆, 其中包括样品的三弦琴, 他们只提供最基本的表达和很少 (如果有) 速度或圆知更鸟。据我们所知, 鲈鱼从未取样过!鉴于尺八和太鼓在许多西方电影原声音乐的普及, 我们想让电影作曲家, 业余爱好者, ethnomusicologists, 动漫迷和每个人在进入这些经典的乐器和完成传统的日语声音的曲目。

为每个发音记录了多重动态和循环层, 以及在适当的速度或音调上的变化;例如, 在两个主要的速度 (以精细速度控制), mordents 可以被设置为全色调或 half-tone, glissandi 可以播放慢, 快速, 以升序, 降序或混合顺序, 等等。这种难以置信的深度采样允许无与伦比的现实主义, 允许仪器独自站立在一个单独的背景和在一个更大的组成。
