Taiko

Taiko virtual instrument is a free percussions and taiko sound bank for Kontakt, by Prisma Sounds.

Taiko is a free Kontakt instrument based on Subaqueous music Free Taiko Drum Rack and S. Christian Collins’s port for Sforzando. As we made plenty of use of these samples, we decided to bring this instrument to Kontakt. We took the chance to add a few more controls on the instrument for some soud design fun, such as:

Velocity to Volume control;

3-band equalizer;

ADSR filter;

An FX tab with: Distortion, Saturation, Delay and Compression;

An arpeggiator module.

So… what else? Our work here is done, have fun.

“He has this really interesting way of swinging…it sometimes morphs into rock-ish straight eighths or fractures into free improv freakouts. But it always feels totally in control; I sense that his ride cymbal will never let you down. It feels personal to him, and I like that.”– NPR, a blog Supreme
