FXpansion announces Japanese Taiko Percussion for BFD2.1

FXpansion has announced the latest addition to the BFD2 expansion pack range, Japanese Taiko Percussion.

Sonica Instruments has teamed up with FXpansion to bring a library of powerful and majestic taiko ensemble sounds into BFD2.1.

Taiko groups have wowed audiences the world over with their visually arresting performances, earth-rumbling bass, pure percussive volume, dynamics, and rhythm. The unmistakable taiko sound has also gained acceptance in many applications far removed from traditional Japanese music. And yet the taiko — the king of Japanese traditional instruments — has been missing from the ranks of professional sound libraries. Sonica Instruments Japanese Taiko Percussion delivers the massive sound of taiko drums to the BFD 2.1 platform.

Feature highlights include:

• Shimedaiko.
• Ohdaiko.
• Chudaiko.
• Kane.
• Vocalizations.
• Groove pack for JTP (separate purchase).
