Neo Koto introduces a groundbreaking approach to plucked string instruments through its advanced Qin hybrid modeling engine. This technology delivers an extraordinary dynamic range with 65,536 velocity layers via MIDI 2.0 and offers an infinite variety of round-robin samples. Designed specifically for instruments like the Koto, the Qin engine allows users to fine-tune various physical parameters, enabling precise sound sculpting and producing an expressive virtual instrument experience unlike any other.

The plugin features two distinct Koto models: a traditional 13-string version and a 17-string variant that covers the bass register. These options enable Neo Koto to authentically reproduce a wide spectrum of Koto parts commonly found in traditional Japanese music. Despite a compact file size of only 250MB, it rivals the expressiveness and depth of much larger sample libraries, while its modeling design ensures rapid responsiveness, making it ideal for real-time performance and creative exploration.

Neo Koto also includes the Virtual MDIR Stage, which places sounds within a three-dimensional virtual space, enhancing clarity and presence in dense mixes. Powered by advanced spatial audio technology, this feature simplifies mixing multiple instruments while enriching the overall sonic landscape. Additionally, the Magic Hub bridges the latest MIDI 2.0 and MPE devices with user-friendly controls, unlocking complex functionalities behind the scenes. It also offers upsampling capabilities to convert older MIDI 1.0 signals into high-resolution MIDI 2.0 data, extending the lifespan and expressive potential of legacy hardware.
