About the Taikos X3M
For years, Japanese taiko have been used consistently in soundtracks and music around the world. Applying our sampling philosophy to various instruments in the Taiko family has yielded some very organic and fresh sounding results that, when paired with our X3M percussion engine, are just plain fun.
One of our main goals was to capture consistent round-robin algorithms for as many playing techniques as possible, so that we can write fast, yet smooth and realistic sounding percussive arrangements. To achieve this, we carefully edited each sample of our 10 Round Robins by hand and made as many iterations as necessary after carefully testing the articulations in a real composing environment.
