The Thor instance labeled Thor FX adds a couple of additional controls: * DDL / DDL Feedback: Digital delay and feedback amount. * Limiter: Adds a hard limiter to prevent clipping. * Release: Controls the release time of the sounds. * Reverb: Adds reverb ambience to the instrument. * Squash / Saturator: When Saturator is enabled, the Squash knob controls the depth of the saturation. * Mid-Sweep / EQ: When EQ is enabled, the Mid-Sweep knob controls the frequency boost range. User Interface (UI) All patches share some common features in the Combinator UI. We meticulously recorded thousands of samples for these instruments with multiple velocity (dynamic) layers, round robin (RR) variations, articulations, and other techniques. Please note that this library focuses on depth of sampling as opposed to hundreds of patches with relatively few samples. There are 14 Koto Combinator patches, 7 Bass Koto patches, and 2 Shamisen patches, along with 9 FX patches.The NN-XT patches are used within the Combinator patches and contain the same audio, without the bonus effects and tweaks in the Combinator. The Natural patches are authentic recordings with no processing, while the FX patches use offline and live processing to mangle and morph the sounds into a less traditional, but very interesting new form. Sound Content The library has patches split into two categories: "Natural" and "FX". We encourage you to take the time to read this manual in its entirety and learn more about the making of the library as well as how to use it to its fullest potential. We’re confident that this is, without a doubt, the most comprehensive koto, bass koto and shamisen library ever to be released. This library includes thousands of samples spanning a wide variety of both traditional and extended playing techniques. The bass koto has never been sampled at all! Given the popularity of the shakuhachi and taiko in many Western film soundtracks, we wanted to allow film composers, hobbyist producers, ethnomusicologists, anime fans and everyone in between access to these classic instruments and complete the repertoire of traditional Japanese sounds available. While there are a handful of libraries which include samples of the koto and shamisen, they feature only the most basic articulations and few (if any) velocities or round robins. Overview We created Koto Nation out of a desire to see traditional Japanese instruments receive a deep, thorough sampling treatment, much like our acclaimed North Indian sample library Sitar Nation.
