追求前所未有的现实
通过将13根弦调到不同的音阶,琴可以用来演奏无数的乐曲。KOTO 13将每个音阶的音调直接映射到13个相邻的白键。这让表演者以最逼真的风格演奏。例如,你可以简单地通过手指在琴键上滑动来演奏滑音,并用多个手指的颤音创造出美丽的琶音。
琴能表现出各种各样的音乐。虽然以华丽的滑音,颤音,音高弯曲和颤音而闻名,但琴有许多更微妙的音调变化,例如用拇指,食指或中指演奏产生的音调差异,甚至是chirashizume pick刮痕。
KOTO 13包含26个发音和六个短语库,所有这些都是键开关和MIDI CC可选。
乐器建模器再现声音变化从不同的指拨和弦
koto的音调特征根据所用的指拨和弦的厚度而变化很大。为了忠实地再现这些变化,我们开发了一个名为Instrument Modeler的新功能。
使用Instrument Modeler,您可以调整单个参数,包括指拨和弦厚度(厚,正常和薄),音调和音符瞬变的攻击,以及噪声成分。这个功能可以控制声音的任何你喜欢的方式,从自然的演奏感觉非常积极的表现。
交替拾取发音和维持踏板控制自然连续拾取措辞
该库带有三种交替的拾取发音,以重现在演奏一连串拾取笔触时发生的自然声音变化。交替挑选可以与关键开关或维持踏板控制切换。这个功能可以很容易地重现现实的颤音采摘。
与维持踏板控制上,你可以切换正常采摘与关键事件和交替采摘与关键关闭事件之间。
字符串编辑器使所有13个字符串的独立调谐调整
KOTO 13包含28个经典的KOTO缩放-如Hira, Kumoi, Han Kumoi, Nakazora, Nogi和Gaku -并具有用户缩放模式,可以为特定件创建自定义缩放。为了轻松演奏西方音乐,还包括半音音阶。
KOTO 13支持28个经典的KOTO音阶和半音音阶。可以使用一个选项将第一个字符串调弦降低一个八度。

We have kept KOTO 13’s superior sound quality, meticulous performance reproduction, and rich articulations while building in the same advanced sound architecture found on KOTO 17 and KOTO 20. This includes the String Editor, which lets you tune all 13 strings independently to create original scales, and the Instrument Modeler, which gives you control over fingerpick characteristics, the string character, and picking noise components.
Providing you with the traditional sound of the 13-string koto as well as the ability to create your own original sounds, KOTO 13 Version 2 fits perfectly in more kinds of music than ever.

Pursuit of unprecedented reality
The koto can be used to perform innumerable musical pieces by tuning the 13 strings to different scales. KOTO 13 maps the tones of each scale directly to 13 adjacent white keys. This lets the performer play in the most realistic style possible. For example, you can play a glissando simply by sweeping your finger along the keys and create beautiful arpeggios with multiple-finger trills.
The koto is capable of a huge range of musical expressions. Although famous for showy glissandos, tremolo picking, pitch bends, and vibrato, the koto has many more delicate tone variations, such as the tonal differences created by playing with the thumb, index, or middle finger or even chirashizume pick scrapes.
KOTO 13 contains 26 articulations and six phrase banks, all of which are key switch and MIDI CC selectable.
Instrument Modeler reproduces sound variations from different fingerpicks and strings
The tonal characteristics of the koto vary a lot depending on the fingerpick and string thickness used. To faithfully reproduce these variations, we developed a new function called the Instrument Modeler.
With the Instrument Modeler, you can adjust individual parameters, including the fingerpick and string thickness (Thick, Normal, and Thin), the pitch and attack of note transients, and noise components. This functionality makes it possible to control the character of the sound any way you like, from a natural playing feel to very aggressive performances.
Alternate picking articulations and sustain pedal control for natural continuous-picking phrasing
The library comes with three alternate picking articulations to recreate the natural sound variations that occur while playing a succession of pick strokes. Alternate picking can be switched with key switches or the sustain pedal control. This function makes it easy to reproduce realistic tremolo picking.
With the sustain pedal control on, you can switch between normal picking with key on events and alternate picking with key off events.
String editor enables independent tuning adjustments for all 13 strings
KOTO 13 is packaged with 28 classic koto scales — such as Hira, Kumoi, Han Kumoi, Nakazora, Nogi, and Gaku — and features a user scale mode to create custom scales for specific pieces. A chromatic scale is also included to perform Western music with ease.
KOTO 13 supports 28 classic koto scales and a chromatic scale. An option is available to drop the first string tuning by an octave.
○28 scales
Hira, Rokuagari, Yonkuagari, Kumoi, Hon Kumoi, Han Kumoi, Kata Kumoi, Nakazora, Akebono, Han Nakazora, Gaku, Han Gaku, Nogi, Hanagumo, Iwato 1, Iwato 2, Han Iwato 1, Han Iwato 2, Natsuyama, Kokin, Shin Kokin, Hira Kinjuu, Nijuu Kumoi, Kumoi Kinjuu, Akino, Ryukyu, Soufuren, Shin Setsugekka.
– Key transpositions
G / G# / A / A# / B / C / C# / D / D# / E
– User scale mode
This mode lets the performer customize and store intervals for each of the 13 strings. By creating scales for a particular song or original composition, the performer can incorporate the sound of the kotointo any piece of music.
Note: User scales cannot be transposed.
Multi-microphone samples in full 24-bit / 96 kHz high resolution
The koto was performed by Miki Maruta for the recording sessions. The recordings took place over several days at a Pastoral Sound Studio in Tokyo, and we took extra care to capture the natural reverberation and full timbre of the instrument in the room. As a result, KOTO 13 reproduces Maruta’s perfect tone coloration and plucking expressiveness with all of her superlative musical technique.
Samples were recorded in three stereo microphone positions — Direct, Overhead, and Room — plus a Stereo Mix. Full mixing control is available, with individual Volume, Pan, Reverb Send, and EQ adjustments for each channel. KOTO 13 also comes with a quality convolution reverb for excellent in- instrument sound creation. The parallel output bus outputs microphone channels to individual DAW tracks for finer mixing sessions.
Note: When the Stereo Mix channel is active, multiple microphones are canceled to conserve memory.
MIDI Groove Browser
KOTO 13 features the incredibly useful Groove Browser, that lets you quickly find MIDI grooves and drag & drop grooves directly into your DAW.
You can adjust the grooves’ velocity, swing, playback tempo, and other parameters directly from KONTAKT / KOMPLETE KONTROL.
The library comes standard with 20 MIDI grooves, including traditional songs and short phrases that showcase what the instrument is capable of. When combined with the soon-to-be-released Groove Inspirations MIDI pack, the Groove Browser gives you access to an extensive phrase bank.
Works with NI Kontakt Player v6.6 and higher!
