Description : A set of Japanese instruments used to accompany music in kabuki and noh theaters
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.

• Contains 65 types of percussion instruments – virtually every percussion instrument known in Kabuki and Noh theater – in 96 kHz / 24-bit high resolution.
• Each instrument has been recorded in a rich multi-mic setting, with Direct 1, Direct 2, Overhead, Room, and Stereo Mix channels available (the sample data is equivalent to about 40 GB in WAV format or about 20 GB in NCW format ).
