Taiko 5

Описание

Taiko 5 is the first music sequencer designed to be used with a game controller. It's fast, fun, and easy to use. Select a kit, assign some sounds, randomize a few parameters and effects, and voila, you're on your way to making something unique.

Feature Highlights:

• 16 Patterns per Song (1 measure per pattern)
  
• 5 Sounds per each 16th note (or Sector)
  
• 35 percussion kits
  
• 50 music kits
  
• 1,000+ sounds
  
• Volume and Pan parameters for an entire Pattern
  
• Volume, Pan, Pitch, and Shift parameters for individual Sounds
  
• Low Pass Filter, Chorus, Echo, Reverb, and Flange effects per Sector or entire Pattern
  
• Pattern recording
  
• Randomize percussion, music, and/or parameters and effects - at the touch of a button
  
• Favoriting kits
  
• "Tilting" (emphasizing) between percussion and music
  
• Ducking
  
• Single note polyphony for music and basslines
  
• Seamless switching between patterns and songs
  
• Recording output to a WAV file (including pattern changes, song changes, etc)
  
• Loading user sounds and kits

Because Taiko 5 handles effects and sounds per Sector (instead of a "track") the music can range from ambient to industrial to almost everything in between. Changes can be triggered in real time as well.

Inspiration

Ever since I bought a Steam Deck I wanted to make music with it. But not with a keyboard and mouse like with a traditional modern DAW. Taiko 5 is the result of that. It works with Xbox controllers, PlayStation controllers, Steam Deck, and should work with other portable Windows based gaming systems as well. I hope you get hours of fun out of it as I had making it!
