Rast Sound has introduced its new sample library Master Koto, featuring the sounds of one of Japanese music’s legendary instruments recorded with Gaho Takashi.
The talented Gaho Takahashi has played Koto since the young age of 5 years old and has now won multiple awards for her skill with this instrument. We can not thank her enough for helping us to capture this beautiful sound with all its depth. The Library offers playable solo articulations, phrase plays and a wealth of rare performances & patterns.
