Sound Magic has announced the release of a new virtual instrument powered by the Qin hybrid modeling engine.
Neo Koto aims to revolutionize pluck strings instruments by offering an impressive capability of 65,536 velocity layers through MIDI 2.0 and an endless variety of round-robin samples.
The Qin engine is specifically crafted for pluck strings instruments like the Koto, allowing users to adjust various physics parameters to sculpt the sound. This results in an unparalleled virtual instrument experience that you have never encountered before.
Neo Koto includes two types of Koto. The first is the traditional 13-string Koto, while the second is a 17-string Koto that predominantly covers the bass range. With these two Koto types, Neo Koto can effectively handle most Koto parts in traditional Japanese music.
Remarkably, despite its mere 250MB size, it matches the expressiveness of a 37GB sample library. Its modeling design ensures swift responsiveness for real-time play, offering infinite creative potential.
Available for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU), Neo Koto is on sale for the intro price of $99 USD until July 20th, 2024 (MSRP $199 USD).
