„Electric Taishogoto“ for Audiomodern’s Soundbox features a virtual instrument based on the traditional japanese instrument “Taishogoto”, also known as the “Nagoya Harp”. The version recorded for this Soundbox instrument is an original electric Sporano Taishogoto made in Japan in the early 1990s.
It offers a unique combination of traditional and experimental sounds for a wide range of musical applications,
The instrument features meticulously sampled recordings of the DI signal with 2-4 velocity layers per patch in the strummed version. There are also two different velocities for key presses (as the taishogoto can be played with pressing the keys only), capturing subtle variations in mechanical clicking on the attack and the overall sound. And you will get some sounds of a bowed taishogoto, too.
The raw recordings were processed using a selection of vintage and boutique gear to give the instrument a distinctive character. Flavors like preamp overdrive or distortion and even a damaged character, with authentic grit and noise are provided in the patches. All processing is done with real hardware units (except the internal fx in soundbox for some of the patches), no FX software or emulations have been used. This processing includes effects such as a broken Tape Delay from the 1980s, various distortion pedals, vintage 90s rack guitar FX units and some lofi pedals, all of which contribute to the unique tonal qualities of the Electric Taishogoto.

There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.
