Hybrid Method combines mastered multi-samples, normalized and
noise-reduced. Based on PCM (Pulse Code
Modulation) recordings of real flutes. Full length sustain samples, no
loops
(natural decay), stored in 16 bits and 44.100 KHz and Digital Signal
Processing (DSP) engine.
The shakuhachi (尺八、しゃくはち, pronounced [ɕakɯhatɕi]) is a
Japanese end-blown flute. It was originally introduced from China into Japan
in the 6th century and underwent a resurgence in the early Edo Period. The
oldest shakuhachi in Japan is currently stored in Shōsō-in, Nara. The
shakuhachi is traditionally made of bamboo, but versions now exist in ABS
and hardwoods. It was used by the monks of the Fuke sect of Zen Buddhism in
the practice of suizen (吹禅, blowing meditation).
