■Software Instruments

- Plectrum is a completely original instrument. It's an acoustic instrument in the sense that it can only be played as a familiar sound and instrument when laid out on a keyboard.
- It's composed of real-world materials recorded in real spaces. These sounds are created by plucking, plucking, tapping, scraping, and striking a variety of materials and pre-prepared instruments.
