Strings (10)

Deep, resonant bowed and plucked zithers.
From court majesty to folk improvisation.

Gayageum Geomungo Haegeum
  • Ajaeng (Jeongak) A large bowed zither with a deep, rich tone comparable to a cello. Used primarily in court music, it plays the fundamental bass lines of traditional ensembles with a resonant, earthy character.
  • Ajaeng (Sanjo) Smaller and more agile than the Jeongak version, the Sanjo Ajaeng offers cello-like expressiveness with faster articulation, perfect for virtuosic solo performances and improvisation.
  • Gayageum (25-String) A modern adaptation of the traditional zither, featuring 25 strings for a wider range and complex harmonies. It delivers a rich, harp-like tone suitable for both traditional and fusion genres.
  • Gayageum (Jeongak) The original 12-string zither for court music. Known for its clear, elegant, and refined tone, it utilizes restrained playing techniques to emphasize grace and subtlety.
  • Gayageum (Sanjo) Designed for folk music, this 12-string zither has a punchier, more expressive tone than the Jeongak version. It allows for dynamic bending and wide vibrato, essential for emotional solo play.
  • Geomungo A representative 6-string zither played with a bamboo stick (Suldae). With a deep, percussive sound similar to a double bass, it provides strong rhythmic and harmonic foundations.

  • Piri (Se) The smallest Piri with a delicate, soft volume. Used in chamber music or to accompany vocals where a gentle tone is required.
  • Daepiri A modernized low-register Piri with a deep, resonant sound similar to a saxophone. It bridges traditional timbre with modern lower-range requirements.
  • Taepyeongso A loud, conical double-reed instrument with a metal bell. Its piercing, trumpet-like sound makes it the star of outdoor ceremonial and marching music.
  • Saenghwang A mouth organ with 17 bamboo pipes. Capable of playing chords and melodies simultaneously, producing a mystical, harmonic sound similar to a pipe organ or harmonica.

  • Samulnori Set The four core percussion instruments of Korean folk music: Kkwaenggwari (small gong), Jing (large gong), Janggu (hourglass drum), and Buk (barrel drum). Together, they create dynamic, powerful rhythms.

Josun Series Instruments Detail

Composer Use Cases

Production Notes
“

Modern tuning compatibility

Useful when a score needs Korean color quickly without forcing traditional tuning issues into a modern arrangement. Equal Temperament tuning helps the instruments blend with pianos, synths, and orchestral layers while preserving their source character.

Drama/Game BGM Composer
“

A focused Joseon sound palette

Built for arrangers who need traditional color that works inside modern DAW sessions. Hand-controlled vibrato (Nonghyeon), round-robin percussion, and organized categories make it feel like a focused Joseon sound palette instead of a scattered sample folder.

K-Pop & OST Arranger
“

A broad Korean scoring range

The 35+ instrument range supports intimate melodic writing, ambient textures, ritual colors, and cinematic percussion. Polyphonic winds and heavy Korean percussion make it practical for cues that need something distinct from common orchestral or Taiko colors.

Film / Game Scoring Workflow
“

Lightweight and ready for scoring

Designed to keep a large Korean instrument collection accessible without a heavy setup. Updates such as convolution reverb and no-round-robin options expand the workflow for film, game, and media scoring.

Sound Designer
“

Fusion-friendly professional controls

Average tuning and Western-session compatibility make the library easier to place in fusion Gugak, commercials, and hybrid scoring. Key-switched articulations and Poly/Mono modes give composers practical control without slowing down the arrangement.

Commercial Composer
“

Cross-platform Decent Sampler workflow

Powered by the Decent Sampler engine, the collection is designed for Mac and Windows workflows across major DAWs such as Cubase, Logic, and Ableton. It keeps installation and session recall straightforward for media production work.

Media & Game Music Composer
“

Expanding instrument and technique coverage

The expanded playing techniques and rare colors, including instruments such as Banghyang, give composers more ways to build Korean-led arrangements instead of using generic orchestral substitutes.

Producer
“

Accessible traditional colors

Useful for composers who want Asian or Korean textures but do not want traditional tuning and articulation details to slow the session down. Instruments such as Gayageum can add immediate identity to fantasy, game, and trailer cues.

Indie Game Developer (UK)
“

Presence for dense arrangements

Designed to hold presence inside dense arrangements. Cinematic percussion, ritual colors, and bright melodic instruments help add Korean identity to trailer, game, and hybrid orchestral music.

Phrase Expansion Guide

A comprehensive guide to the Josun Series Phrase Expansion library.
Navigate centuries of musical tradition with these essential notes.

📚 Important Usage Guidelines +

Welcome

Welcome to the Josun Series Phrase Expansion. This library is a comprehensive collection of authentic performance phrases spanning centuries of tradition. It may contain concepts unfamiliar to those outside Korean traditional music.

On Tempo (BPM) and Meter

Korean traditional music features a fluid tempo and complex time signatures (e.g., 10/8) that change dynamically. Most files do not have a specified BPM.

Tuning and Pitch

Traditional instruments follow the Sam-bun-son-ik-beop tuning system, not Western equal temperament. We recommend using tools like Melodyne or Auto-Tune for integration into modern productions.

File Naming Conventions

File names serve as genre or rhythm indicators (e.g., 'Pansori' implies phrases from that genre, not vocals). We adhere to National Gukak Center naming standards.

Arrangement

Phrases are organized alphabetically by rhythm (Jangdan) for production convenience, rather than adhering to traditional song structures.
