VS TSUGARU SHAMISEN


*Note: If launched with the product "KONTAKT PLAYER" with PLAYER appended to the product name, it will be a demonstration operation and can not use the full version. Please note that "KONTAKT" is required to use the full version.

VS TSUGARU SHAMISEN is a Tsugaru shamisen instrument for KONTAKT.
The Tsugaru shamisen is a traditional Japanese instrument characterized by a percussion-like playing style in which the plectrum is struck by hitting the instrument.
Contains sustain (Down / Up), hammering on, pulling off, hajiki, nezumi (Down / Up), nejime, oshibachi, soft legato sounds, inup, indown, outup, outdown, and body hitting sounds.
Noise and muting associated with performance are automatically selected at appropriate times, and the volume of the release noise is automatically adjusted depending on the playback position of the sample and playing style.
You can switch between the [Instrument] mode, which mutes the preceding notes on the same string, and the [Keyboard] mode, which allows you to play like a piano, just like a real shamisen. It is equipped with many other functions such as a function for tuning each string.
Equipped with more than 30 types of effects, each parameter of the effect can be operated by controlling control by specifying the operation range.

This product is bundled with "VS TSUGARU Prototype" . It can be used for doubling, etc. as an instrument with a different tone.
"VS TSUGARU Prototype" can be downloaded after registering "VS TSUGARU SHAMISEN".
