TAIKO THUNDER: The Ultimate Collection

The taiko sound has become an invaluable resource for music production and soundtracks the world over. With TAIKO THUNDER, Sonica Instruments is bringing to creators every vibration of the taiko’s world-beating power and expressiveness at a scale never seen before.

Our objective was to develop the greatest taiko library ever, both in terms of quality and quantity. To this end, we carefully sampled some of Japan’s most esteemed taiko performers playing 20 different percussion instruments essential to any taiko ensemble. And to ensure maximum realism, we sampled the sound variations at 19 different hit positions for both the left and right hands.

TAIKO THUNDER eclipses any previous taiko sample libraries, as it features dozens of articulations, seven microphone channels for exceptional mixing versatility, and over 1,400 MIDI grooves taken from live performances by top taiko performers.

KOTO 17

KOTO 17 can naturally be used as a solo instrument. But it complements the 13-string koto and shakuhachi extraordinarily well, making it an essential component in both classical and contemporary Japanese music circles. 

And when paired with other titles from the Virtuoso Japanese Series, such as KOTO 13, KOTO 20, or SHAKUHACHI, KOTO 17 can complete an incredibly powerful ensemble.

SHO

The sho is free reed musical instrument and one of the three primary woodwind instruments used in gagaku court orchestra music. Consisting of 17 slender bamboo pipes, it is sometimes said to resemble a resting phoenix because of its shape. In antiquity, the sho’s fluid tonal character was associated with light shining down from the heavens.

After completing the world’s first comprehensive sho sampling, Sonica Instruments is proud to add the SHO library to the Virtuoso Japanese Series.
