追求前所未有的真实感
古筝可以通过将13根弦调到不同的音阶来演奏无数的音乐作品。KOTO 13将每个音阶的音调直接映射到13个相邻的白键上。这让表演者可以用最真实的方式演奏。例如，您可以通过在键上滑动手指来简单地演奏滑音，并通过多指颤音创造出美丽的琶音。
古筝能够表现出巨大的音乐表情范围。虽然以其炫耀的滑音、颤音拨弦、音高变化和颤音而闻名，但古筝还有更多微妙的音调变化，如通过拇指、食指或中指演奏产生的音调差异，甚至是指甲刮擦声。
KOTO 13包含26种发音和6个乐句库，全部都可以通过键切换和MIDI CC选择。
乐器建模器重现不同指弹和弦乐的声音变化
古筝的音调特征很大程度上取决于使用的指弹和弦乐的粗细。为了忠实地重现这些变化，我们开发了一个名为乐器建模器的新功能。
通过乐器建模器，您可以调整单个参数，包括指弹和弦乐的粗细（粗、正常和细）、音符瞬变的音调和攻击，以及噪音组件。这个功能使您能够以任何您喜欢的方式控制声音的特征，从自然的演奏感觉到非常激进的表演。
备用拨弦发音和持续踏板控制，实现自然的连续拨弦乐句
库中包含三种备用拨弦发音，以重现演奏连续拨弦时发生的自然声音变化。备用拨弦可以通过键切换或持续踏板控制来切换。这个功能使您能够轻松地重现真实的颤音。
在持续踏板控制开启的情况下，您可以在普通拨弦（键开启事件）和备用拨弦（键关闭事件）之间切换。
弦乐编辑器允许对所有13根弦进行独立的调音调整
KOTO 13附带了28种经典古筝音阶，如平调、六上、四上、五音、本五音、半五音、形五音、中调、晓调、半中调、学调、半学调、野调、花云、岩户1、岩户2、半岩户1、半岩户2、夏山、古今、新古今、平禁曲、二十五音、五音禁曲、秋野、琉球、早春连雨，并具有用户音阶模式，用于为特定曲目创建自定义音阶。还包含一个半音阶，以便轻松演奏西方音乐。

多麦克风样本，全24位/96 kHz高分辨率
古筝由Miki Maruta在录音会议上演奏。录音在东京的Pastoral Sound Studio进行了数天，我们特别小心地捕捉了房间内乐器的自然混响和完整音色。结果，KOTO 13忠实地再现了Maruta完美的音色调色和她卓越的音乐技术。
样本以三种立体声麦克风位置录制——直接、头顶和房间——以及一个立体声混合音。具有完整的混合控制功能，每个通道都可以调整音量、声像、混响发送和均衡。KOTO 13还附带了一个高质量的卷积混响，用于出色的乐器内声音创作。并行输出总线将麦克风通道输出到DAW的独立音轨上，以便进行更精细的混合会话。
注意：当立体声混合音频道处于活动状态时，为了节省内存，多个麦克风会被取消。
MIDI Groove浏览器
KOTO 13具有令人难以置信的实用Groove浏览器，让您可以快速找到MIDI groove，并将其直接拖放到您的DAW中。

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!
