Sakurazensen: The Sakura-front as it moves across Japan with the developing season.

Hanami: The custom of enjoying the beauty of Sakura.

Acoustics - Virtual acoustic space is then simulated with chorus, delay and reverberation effects.

Resonance - The string/s vibration then interacts with an 8-resonator ‘body simulator’ to create the size, material and shape of the instrument.

String interaction – The dual strings are then mixed, panned and enveloped to simulate interactions.

Vibration - Sakura’s dual string model then gives the operator control over a wide range of parameters such as damping, tension, positioning and string properties.

Contact - An impulse, the mechanical contact with the string, is first generated then shaped to simulate plucks, picks, scrapes, hammers, taps or humble fingers.
