唱歌的音调洪亮，呼吸深沉而细腻。
Rei Jin在采样环节演奏尺八。他给了我们一个竹制乐器的万花筒般的声音——从柔和、甜美的长音调到最夸张的爆炸声——只有最熟练的演奏者才能演奏出来。

图书馆几乎包含了所有可能的尺八发音，包括垂直尤里，水平尤里，以及其他颤音技术，sforzando，
许多muraiki呼吸表达，tamae颤音，korokoro， karakara和其他声音效果技术，以及基于短音阶的即兴创作。

键触发连接，让表演者切换播放技术上的飞行，而没有中断的声音
作为一种管乐器，尺八在保持单一声音的同时，可以通过不同的技巧随时演奏：例如，从直接的音调到尤里（颤音），然后从尤里到猛烈而响亮的空气爆发。我们从头开始设计了键触发连接机制，以重现这种典型的尺八表演方法。

键触发连接，让你串在一起的衔接顺利，只是通过击中指定的键，而播放。可连接的发音包括各种yuri技巧，sforzando, muraiki（呼吸）效果，uchi & oshi指法和tamae（舌颤）。你可以连接尽可能多的发音，因为你喜欢按住基本音符，为现场乐器的感觉。

这种机制允许演奏者使用控制器来控制从产生任何声音之前的初始呼吸噪声到达到音符的全部功率的持续时间。吹控制使演奏键盘感觉像一个风控制器，给你访问平滑，动态的呼吸表达，尽管是基于样本。

规模调整
整个音域的每个半音音高都可以单独微调。这可以让你从日本音乐和音高“感觉”独特的一个特定的表演者访问传统音阶音高。

当然，音高设置可以保存和调用。

Multi-microphone样品
在录音室里，我们使用了细致的麦克风设置和高端的麦克风前置放大器，没有着色，以确保我们捕捉到乐器的真实声音。

样品被记录在三个立体声麦克风位置-直接，头顶，和房间-加上一个立体声混合。充分的混合控制是可用的，有单独的音量，泛，混响发送，并为每个通道EQ调整。SHAKUHACHI还配备了优质的卷积混响，用于出色的乐器声音创作。并行输出总线将麦克风通道发送到单个DAW轨道，以进行更精细的混音会话。

 

Singing sonorous intonation, deep yet delicate breathing, and a Japanese sound aesthetic spilling into the periphery: The shakuhachi — an instrument symbolic of Japan — finally joins the Virtuoso Japanese Series family.

Main Features​
– Precisely captures the scintillating sounds of a veteran shakuhachi player, covering every playing technique and recorded with exacting attention to detail at every musical interval.

– The unique Key Trigger Connection function lets the performer move through a colorful assortment of articulations without ever interrupting the sound.
– Legato and grace note controls reproduce complex fingering techniques such as atari, uchi, and oshi.
– The blow control function lets the performer manipulate the duration from the breath noise to the actual tone with either a controller.
– The expression control varies the tone color naturally and continuously without gradations.
– A hybrid combination of the shakuhachi (1.8 shakuhachi) and the 2.3 shakuhachi provides a wider register, including lower tones, and more tone color variations.

Singing sonorous intonation, deep yet delicate breathing.
Rei Jin played the shakuhachi for the sampling sessions. He gave us an entire kaleidoscope of sounds from the bamboo instrument — from soft, sweet long tones to the most bombastic blasts — that only the most skilled player can produce.

The library contains nearly every possible shakuhachi articulation, including vertical yuri, horizontal yuri, and other vibrato techniques, sforzando,
many muraiki breath expressions, tamae trills, korokoro, karakara, and other sound-effect techniques, and short scale-based improvisations.

Key Trigger Connection lets the performer switch playing techniques on the fly without ever interrupting the sound
Being a wind instrument, the shakuhachi is played by varying techniques from moment to moment while maintaining a single sound: for example, from a straight tone to yuri (vibrato) and then from yuri to a violent and loud burst of air. We designed the Key Trigger Connection mechanism from scratch to reproduce this quintessential shakuhachi performing approach.

Key Trigger Connection lets you string articulations together smoothly just by hitting the assigned keys while playing. Connectable articulations include various yuri techniques, sforzando, muraiki (breath) effects, uchi & oshi fingering, and tamae (tongue trill). You can connect as many articulations as you like while holding down the base note, for the feel of a live instrument.

This mechanism lets the performer, using a controller, manipulate the duration from the initial breath noise before any sound is produced until the note’s full power is reached. Blow control makes playing a keyboard feel like a wind controller, giving you access to smooth, dynamic breath expressions despite being sample based.

Scale Tuning
Each chromatic pitch across the whole register can be individually fine-tuned. This lets you access traditional scale pitches from Japanese music and pitch “feels” unique to a particular performer.

And of course, pitch settings can be saved and recalled.

Multi-microphone samples
In the studio, we used a meticulous microphone setup together with high-end microphone preamps with no coloration to ensure we captured the true voice of the instrument.

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. SHAKUHACHI also comes with a quality convolution reverb for excellent in- instrument sound creation. The parallel output bus sends the microphone channels to individual DAW tracks for finer mixing sessions.

With the load manager, the performer can load just the desired articulations. Skipping unnecessary samples can obtain better performance from the Kontakt engine.

MIDI Groove Browser
SHAKUHACHI 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!
