Thank you for visiting!
I'm Issaku Matsumoto, a violin player and arranger.
I have learned something since I started Music Production. It is

is that The diversity of playing techniques and the change of tone is beyond that of other instruments, and even if the technology developed to reproduce them very closely, it would be difficult to do so without programming a considerable number of parameters. Isn't it a lot of work to write the automation and the programming time? Wouldn't the sound of a real violin with a human touch help you in your creation?



I have been familiar with video games, animation, and movies since I was a child, and I loved the music that was played in many of these works. I am always impressed by the works of creators who do such work, and I get pleasure from putting my own performance in them. I have used my music for a wide variety of situations, including stock music such as audio stock, games, doujinshi works, TV commercials and dramas, and singing works.

I have recorded a wide range of genres, including classical, pop, and games, based on my many years of experience. We also accept recordings with viola and cello, string arrangements and ad-libs!

About Sheet Music



If you use MIDI, please make sure to quantize it properly.


Here are some notes for those who wish to record in MIDI.

In many ways, recording with a score is the most efficient way to check articulation, recording points, etc., and to minimize mistakes in the sound. However, there are many people who are unfamiliar with sheet music or have difficulty preparing it in time, and we are happy to assist them.

① Be sure to prepare a stem file of the part to be used as a reference for articulation.
② MIDI files should be completely quantized as shown in the picture above.
③ If you wish to use a special technique such as Celtic, please let us know in advance.

If you have such preparations, we will be able to finish the work faster.
We do not charge for MIDI to Score if it is simple,
If it is a little more complicated, we may charge you a small fee.
Please understand this in advance.


We are happy to hear from our repeat customers that they can "leave it to us! We are also happy to receive the trust of our customers.
