We created Koto Nation out of a desire to see traditional Japanese
instruments receive a deep, thorough sampling treatment, much like our
acclaimed North Indian sample library Sitar NationWhile there are a
handful of libraries which include samples of the koto and shamisen,
they feature only the most basic articulations and few (if any)
velocities or round robinsTo our knowledge, the bass koto has never
been sampled at all! Given the popularity of the shakuhachi and taiko in
many Western film soundtracks, we wanted to allow film composers,
hobbyist producers, ethnomusicologists, anime fans and everyone in
between access to these classic instruments and complete the repertoire
of traditional Japanese sounds available.
