KOTO 17，是“Virtuoso Japanese Series”系列的第七部作品，将17弦低音koto的声音——现代日本音乐中不可或缺的一部分——带到了世界各地的音乐创作者身边。
在KOTO 13开发三年后推出的KOTO 17，得益于先进的功能，从库中引出了新的音质。
自然，KOTO 17可以用作独奏乐器。但它与13弦koto和尺八的配合非常好，使它在古典和当代日本音乐圈中成为了一个重要的组成部分。当与“Virtuoso Japanese Series”系列的其他作品，如KOTO 13 Version 2、KOTO 20或SHAKUHACHI搭配时，KOTO 17可以完成一个非常强大的合奏。

乐器建模器再现不同拨子和弦的声音变化
koto的音质特性很大程度上取决于使用的拨子和弦的厚度。为了忠实地再现这些变化，我们开发了一个新的功能，叫做乐器建模器。
有了乐器建模器，您可以调整包括拨子和弦厚度（厚、正常和薄）、音符瞬态的音调和攻击以及噪声组件在内的个别参数。这个功能使您能够以任何您喜欢的方式控制声音的特性，从自然的演奏感觉到非常激进的表演。

Sonica Instruments Koto 17 v2.0.0 KONTAKT – 13,97 GB
KOTO 17, the seventh title in the Virtuoso Japanese Series, brings the sounds of the 17-string bass koto, an indispensable part of modern Japanese music, to music creators everywhere.

Coming three years after the development of KOTO 13, KOTO 17 benefits from advanced features that coax new tonal qualities from the library.

Naturally, KOTO 17 can be used as a solo instrument. But it complements the 13-string koto and shakuhachi extraordinarily well, making it an essential component in both classical and contemporary Japanese music circles. And when paired with other titles from the Virtuoso Japanese Series, such as KOTO 13 Version 2, KOTO 20, or SHAKUHACHI, KOTO 17 can complete an incredibly powerful ensemble.

17-string koto, an indispensable part of modern Japanese music, has never been more realistic
String editor enables independent tuning adjustments for all 17 strings.

The koto is played by adjusting the tuning of the 17 strings for each musical piece to be performed. KOTO 17 has a Scale Performance mode to map the tones of each string to 17 adjacent white keys. This lets the performer access the instrument in the most realistic way possible.

20 articulations to recreate every aspect of the 17-string koto’s playing styles

KOTO 17 contains 20 different articulations to recreate the koto’s diverse range of musical expressions. These include different nuances created by playing with the thumb, index, or middle finger as well as glissandos, tremolo picking, and even chirashizume pick scrapes. All articulations can be controlled independently with key switches.

The three KOTO 17 phrase banks contain special techniques that are difficult to reproduce, ranging from classic koto techniques such as glissandos and surizume to sound effects made by striking the bridges. Phrase banks are selectable with key switches and can be triggered from a MIDI keyboard. You can control the pitch and tempo of each phrase bank as well.

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 17 strings
The library comes with 10 frequently used scales (Chromatic, Ionian, Natural Minor, Harmonic Minor, Melodic Minor, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Whole Tone), including a chromatic scale. You can perform many musical pieces with the presets and the key transposition function. The additional User Scale mode lets you create custom scales for specific compositions. When creating a custom scale, you can set the volume and panning for each string as well as fine tune each string.

– User scales
By customizing all 17 strings, you can set up scales for specific tunes or for your original compositions, allowing you to incorporate koto elements into any piece of music. Custom scales are saved as user scales and can be recalled at any time.

Note: User scales cannot be transposed.
Multi-microphone samplesтin full 24-bit / 96 kHz high resolution
The recordings were made with the utmost care, using more than eight microphones of various types together with colorless mic preamps. All library samples were recorded in 24-bit / 96 kHz high definition to faithfully capture the entirety of the koto’s delicate expressions.

The samples were recorded with 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. The parallel output bus sends the microphone channels to individual DAW tracks for finer mixing sessions.

The library comes with 30 convolution reverbs, including two impulse responses from a Noh theater renowned among musicians for its acoustics. The convolution reverbs permit high-quality in-instrument sound creation.

Load manager reduces memory usage for smoother production work

With the load manager, the performer can choose to load only the desired articulations. Skipping unnecessary samples obtains smoother performance from the Kontakt engine.
MIDI Groove Browser
KOTO 17 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 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!
