New Plugin, Kora Drum, Based On The Unique DIY Instruments Of Nicolas Bras Soundpaint has introduced Kora Drum, a new virtual instrument, based on the unique DIY creations of instruments maker Nicolas Bras. Bras’s Kora Drum has a body made from a tom drum, but the instrument plays more like a Lute. The original instrument is a harp-lute, with 12 strings. The Kora Drum was multisampled using several performance styles, including plucks, muted plucks and tremolos. The Soundpaint engine expands on the performance possibilities of the original, extending the range into the deep bass range and high register plucks. The intro video, embedded above, features Bras demonstrating the original instrument and composer and sound designer Troels Folmann explores the possibilities of the virtual instrument.
