Nine Volt Audio TAIKO 2 KONTAKT 2,24-GB

TAIKO 2 is a multi-sample library of Japanese drums capable of an extensive range
of sounds and impacts- By combining theatre recordings with intricate programming,
inspirational patches and MIDI performance files, TAIKO 2 offers composers a unique
set of tools for creating compelling drum performances-

The all-new recordings for TAIKO 2 combine depth of sampling and sound with an
easy-to-use, customizable, fun and inspirational experience-
This is how it breaks down:

Depth: Every drum, rim and stick hit feature 100 samples spread across 10 velocity
ranges with 10 alternating hits (a-k-a- 10x10 round robin)- The full range of a taiko
ensemble's detail and tonal color is available with over 30 different drums, 14 rims,
and 14 stick types recorded in solo and/or ensemble settings-

Ease-of-use: With a focus on providing the maximum range of sounds within a minimum
amount of patches, honing in on what is needed is quick and intuitive-

The core patches are organized into "kits", allowing for complete and colossal drum
compositions from a single patch and MIDI track (including bonus gongs, cymbals,
steel hits and vocals)-

And once a part is composed, simply change to another kit for an entirely new sound!

Customize: Dialing in new sounds is simple with the innovative EQ DNA menu, custom
reverb selections and other effect and mix controls directly on the interface-

After tweaking, settings can be saved directly to a preset list within the interface
for later use - or to quickly compare to other settings within the same patch!

Fun: Load a patch, mash some notes on the keyboard and listen to the army of drummers
perform at command- No keyswitches, no bizarre mappings - just pound and go!

Inspirational: TAIKO 2 is capable of creating performances ranging from subtle and
nuanced to ethereal and majestic, to over-the-top huge and powerful-

When additional inspiration is needed, there are 20 ensemble MIDI file performances
covering a range of tempos, time signatures and styles- Pair these with any of the
ten custom presets in each patch to complete the spark-
