Akemie's Taiko - Basics - ALM015

Akemie’s Taiko is a complete FM synthesis based drum voice with a massive range of sounds, shaped under both direct and voltage control. Based on the larger Akemie’s Castle, the Taiko’s simplified control scheme centers on key FM parameters that are grouped rather than separated for each operator. This arrangement, as well as the inclusion of 2 drum-oriented release envelopes makes the Taiko a fun and immediate source of unique percussive and melodic timbres. In this video we take a deeper look at the voice structure and go over some patch tips for getting the most out of Akemie’s Taiko.
