Premier Sound Factory has launched Princess Koto KAGUYA, a Japanese Koto instrument library for Native Instruments Kontakt Player.
This new SAMURAI Classics series instrument includes the sounds of a 13 string Japanse Koto, as well as a 17 string bass Koto.
The library covers all conventional Koto playing methods typically used in traditional Japanese music. It offers 36 traditional Japanese scales.
We at last present our most beautiful and vibrant Japanese Koto sound library. The pure raw files provided were captured using the same super high-res recording techniques utilised in Drum Tree and Shakuhachi Premier in 96kHz/24 bit.
Not merely High resolution sound, but an amazing beautiful tone has been created that washes over your heart, and great efforts have been made during recording to make sure not a single drop of this natural essence has been lost.
