About This Software

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!

A huge thanks to George Rennie for contributing drum sounds!
