So, this time let\u2019s look at two other important instrument types in the library: metallic percussion instruments and <em>kakegoe<\/em> vocal sound effects.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22bdc34 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"22bdc34\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Four dedicated interfaces<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c7b71b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2c7b71b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 16px;\">In addition to 16 taiko instruments, TAIKO THUNDER comes with three metallic percussion instruments: the <em>chappa<\/em>, the <em>shoko<\/em>, and the <em>kagurasuzu<\/em>. It also has a single instrument interface that consolidates many different <em>kakegoe<\/em> vocal sound effects.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 16px;\">In the early stages of the library\u2019s development, we briefly considered making a single unified user interface for all instruments, but we quickly realized this wouldn\u2019t work because of how different each instrument is. We changed course and developed a specific UI for each instrument so users can better access and interact with the instrument\u2019s unique functions and playing styles.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 16px;\">In the end, we developed separate 20 nki KONTAKT instruments for TAIKO THUNDER.<\/span><\/p><ul><li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 16px;\"><strong>16 taiko instruments<\/strong><\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Chappa<\/strong><\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Shoko<\/strong><\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Kagurasuzu<\/strong><\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 16px;\"><strong>Kakegoe<\/strong><\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 16px;\">Although the screen designs and parameters vary between instruments, the key assignments, previously introduced play modes, and other core functions are the same for all instruments.

Conceptually, it\u2019s a very simple instrument. It can be, however, a very profound instrument, capable of creating a whole realm of sounds and tonalities by varying the angle and overlap when the cymbals are struck together.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 16px;\">For TAIKO THUNDER, we recorded Ryutaro Kaneko (<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.ryu-beat.com\/\">https:\/\/shop.ryu-beat.com\/<\/a>), a taiko percussionist who pioneered many of today\u2019s <em>chappa<\/em> playing techniques, performing a wide variety of modern <em>chappa<\/em> articulations, from opening the cymbals to closing them. A large part of developing the Chappa instrument was figuring out how to simplify the input of modern <em>chappa<\/em> playing styles that involve rapid-fire variations of different articulations.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 16px;\">The taiko instruments have a Standard Mode, where you can access many playing techniques with five keys and MIDI CC messages, and an Advanced Mode, which lays out all articulations on the keyboard. You can switch between the modes to suit your production workflow. The Chappa works in the same way. In Standard Mode, C3 is assigned to closing the cymbals and E3 to opening the cymbals. The Mod Wheel is used to control how the <em>chappa<\/em> opens in real time.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 16px;\">In both modes, D3 is dedicated to rolls. Note On events trigger descending rolls, and Note Off events trigger ascending rolls. By rotating the Mod Wheel, you can seamlessly move between closed and open rolls. This arrangement lets you enter fast <em>chappa<\/em> performances just by hitting keys in succession.<\/span><\/p><p><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-24589-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/Chappa_Preview_240915.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/Chappa_Preview_240915.mp3\">https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/Chappa_Preview_240915.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87c1f0e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"87c1f0e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"810\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/tt_devblog4_chappa-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/tt_devblog4_chappa-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/tt_devblog4_chappa-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/tt_devblog4_chappa-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/tt_devblog4_chappa-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/tt_devblog4_chappa-90x60.jpg 90w, https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/tt_devblog4_chappa-135x90.jpg 135w, https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/tt_devblog4_chappa.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b2159bd elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"b2159bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32924ed elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"32924ed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Shoko features<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-426ee7f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"426ee7f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"810\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/dev-blog4-2-1024x660.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/dev-blog4-2-1024x660.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/dev-blog4-2-768x495.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/dev-blog4-2-600x387.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/dev-blog4-2-93x60.jpg 93w, https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/dev-blog4-2-140x90.jpg 140w, https:\/\/sonica.jp\/instruments\/images\/dev-blog4-2.jpg 1198w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-826ca35 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"826ca35\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 16px;\">The <em>shoko<\/em> is a percussion instrument played by striking the inside of the gong with a deer-antler-tipped stick called a <em>shumoku<\/em>. The <em>shoko<\/em> is widely used in <em>gagaku<\/em> performances and Buddhist rituals, although each style of music uses a slightly different type of <em>shoko<\/em>.
