几乎囊括了歌舞伎和能剧中所有的打击乐器
原始的歌舞伎和能乐打击乐（BFD格式）软件库涵盖了许多歌舞伎和能乐打击乐乐器。在其发布以来的七年里，我们已经制作了新鲜，强大的录音，具有更高音质的能干长笛，kakegoe呼叫和ashhibyoushi脚踩在能舞台上。

生动的自然动态和日本乐器固有的表现力
分别记录左击和右击交替采样多达100个速度层非常自然的声音动态和滚动表达式。
kotsuzumi以其独特的pon声音而闻名，但事实上，这种乐器拥有丰富的表达方式。除了提供脆的pon， pu, chi, ta，和pe敲击水龙头，图书馆让你使用一个速度控制器完全控制细微的portamento幻灯片是通过挤压和释放鼓的绳创建。
以shimedaiko为例，我们分别捕捉了左击和右击。但我们也包括了所有的关键铰接本地的shimedaiko，如tsuke效果，其中八棒打击，然后休息在鼓头上。
一大堆稀有的乐器
收藏品中有许多稀有乐器，如ekiro（环形马铃）、orgol（音乐盒）、matsumushi（小型扁平锣）、fusegane（祭坛锣）、hontsurigane（大钟）等歌舞伎音效。
台子可以表现风、雪、水等自然元素，也可以表现舞台上演员的内心思想和情感。它甚至可以模仿幽灵进入的恐怖感觉。Master Edition的特点是用nagabachi（长而细的音效棒）和yukibai（一种模仿雪声的特殊棍子）演奏台子的发音，让音乐制作人能够重现歌舞伎台子的每一个细微差别。
20个预设套件，每个都有精心挑选的各种各样的仪器加载在16个插槽
歌舞伎&能乐打击乐96k MASTER EDITION有16个乐器插槽。预设套件可以让您快速加载特定音乐背景的插槽乐器。例如，你可以加载一个套件，里面有专门为歌舞伎舞台准备的乐器，一个套件里有专门为能剧舞台准备的乐器，或者一个套件里有歌舞伎的音效。

Seven years have passed since we released the incredibly popular KABUKI & NOH PERCUSSION library.
Over this time, we have gradually upgraded and expanded our large collection of recordings and samples of percussion instruments featured in Kabuki and Noh theater.
We are now finally releasing this work as a massive upgrade entitled KABUKI & NOH PERCUSSION 96k MASTER EDITION — a Kontakt library with full-on professional specs and Sonica Instrument’s unparalleled quality.
KABUKI & NOH PERCUSSION 96k MASTER EDITION puts the sounds of Japan in the hands of all music creators.

96 kHz / 24-bit high-fidelity samples Rich, high-resolution samples
of virtually every percussion instrument known to Kabuki and Noh theater
The original KABUKI & NOH PERCUSSION (BFD format) software library covered many Kabuki and Noh theater percussion instruments. Over the seven years since its release, we have made fresh, powerful recordings with even higher sound quality of the Nohkan flute, kakegoe calls, and ashibyoushi foot stomps on a Noh stage.
KABUKI & NOH PERCUSSION 96k MASTER EDITION contains over 60 instruments with uncompromising specs — 96 kHz / 24-bit high resolution with multiple mic channels — for an even larger audience of music creators.
Vivid natural dynamics and the inherent expressive force of Japanese instruments
Separately recorded left-hand and right-hand hits are sampled alternately with up to 100 velocity layers for very natural-sounding dynamics and roll expressions.
The kotsuzumi is best known for its distinctive pon sound, but the instrument in fact harbors a rich palette of expressions. In addition to providing the crisp pon, pu, chi, ta, and pe percussive taps, the library lets you use a velocity controller for full control over nuanced portamento slides that are created by squeezing and releasing the drum’s cords.
Taking the shimedaiko for example, we captured left-hand and right-hand hits separately. But we also included all key articulations native to the shimedaiko, such as the tsuke effect, where bachi sticks strike and then rest on the drum head.
A wealth of rare instruments
The collection contains many rare instruments, such as the ekiro (a doughnut-shaped horse bell), orgol (a music box), matsumushi (a small flat gong), fusegane (an altar gong), hontsurigane (a large bell), and other Kabuki sound effects.
The odaiko can express the wind, snow, water, and other natural elements as well as the inner thoughts and feelings of actors on stage. It can even imitate the spookiness of a ghost’s entrance. The Master Edition features odaiko articulations played with nagabachi (long, tapered sticks for sound effects) and yukibai (a special stick to imitate the sound of snow), giving music producers the scope to recreate every nuance of the odaiko in Kabuki.
20 preset kits, each with a carefully selected assortment of instruments loaded in 16 slots
KABUKI & NOH PERCUSSION 96k MASTER EDITION has 16 instrument slots. The preset kits let you quickly load instruments in the slots for specific musical contexts. For example, you can load a kit with instruments specifically for the Kabuki stage, a kit with instruments specifically for the Noh stage, or a kit with Kabuki sound effects.
Naturally, you can edit any preset kit and arrange instruments to your liking.
Two newly-recorded bonus libraries of kakegoe calls and Nohkan flute phrases
We extended the library’s content to be the definitive library of hayashi ensemble sounds.
Voices of Kabuki & Noh contains a wide collection of real hayashi kakegoe calls, while Nohkan Flute is packed with quintessential Nohkan phrases.
All samples in both libraries have been newly recorded for this release, so you can build the most complete hayashi ensemble possible.
Instrument Editor gives full control over tuning and tone of each instrument
The Instrument Editor’s controls let you precisely adjust the tone of each instrument without affecting the sonic quality of the percussive attack transients. For example, you can re-pitch the instrument or adjust the strength of the attack transient. This gives you the ability to endlessly modify instrument colors to your liking, with no loss in the rich high-resolution sound quality.
Individual instrument mixers
The Instrument Mixer provides fine adjustments of the five microphone channels — Direct 1, Direct 2, Overhead, Room, and Stereo Mix —for each instrument. The mixer gives you full freedom over the mix balance to suit any situation. You can also insert compression and EQ on the instrument’s master mix bus.
The library contains impulse responses from a Noh theater renowned among Noh musicians for its acoustics. The impulse responses are used with the built-in convolution reverb function. There are two responses: one from the stage and one from the audience seats.
MIDI Groove Browser
KABUKI & NOH PERCUSSION 96k MASTER EDITION 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 packed with exclusive hayashi ensemble grooves (MIDI patterns) often heard in Kabuki.
When combined with the soon-to-be-released Groove Inspirations MIDI pack, the Groove Browser gives you access to an extensive phrase bank.
NKS & Native Access ready
KABUKI & NOH PERCUSSION 96k MASTER EDITION is NKS compatible so it can be used with Kontakt Player, Kontakt Full (Ver. 6.6 or newer), and Komplete Kontrol.
When KABUKI & NOH PERCUSSION 96k MASTER EDITION is linked with a Komplete Kontrol keyboard or other NKS-compatible hardware, you can quickly preview tones and make full use of the hardware’s knobs and controllers.
Works with NI Kontakt Player v6.6 and higher!
