Hybrid Studio Taiko

Hybrid Studio Taiko provides a fresh approach on a classic instrument. Taiko have long been part of movie soundtracks and trailers, with their wide ranging sounds and epic nature. 

We wanted to focus on the Taiko in a very action-oriented way, giving you the amazing sound of taiko, but in a close, tight, and impactful way without the typical boomy, long tails you find in most Taiko libraries. 

We teamed up with two worldwide taiko experts: Isaku Kageyama and Rannoch Purcell (Taiko Zentrum Deutschland).  We recorded custom ensembles of 30", 18", 16", Bachi, Chappas, and Atarigane, then recorded multiple solo drums as well, including 3 30" Odaiko, 2 18" Chudaiko, 2 16" Chudaiko, 1 10" prototype, and 1 Shimedaiko. Most of these drums are recorded with center hits, off-center hits, and rim shots with 10 round robins and 4 velocity layers. This gives you the ultimate realistic performance.

To dive further down the action-focused rabbit hole, we took every sample and created hybridized versions as well, with synth and distorted layers to give extra grit and punch. The interface offers the ability to blend the normal Studio recordings with the Hybrid samples as you see fit, giving you complete control to shape your sound.

Incredible and Simple To Use

Hybrid Studio Taiko is a simple to use, high quality percussion library.

I already enjoyed using it before I realized I was missing out on a whole aspect of the plugin!

Layer HST with your favorite percussion or use it alone on your pieces.

Either way, you can't go wrong.

I highly recommend Hybrid Studio Taiko to all music creators!

Love the versatility, simplicity and depth of this plug in. The double mapping is so unbelievably helpful, I don’t why others have not come up with this concept. The controls give you a great deal of manipulation over the sounds.
Its my new go-to for Taiko trailer drums Thanks Fallout!
