Digital sound technology has emerged as a potent instrument for this endeavor, allowing for the construction of an exhaustive and diverse digital sound library. In this study, traditional Isan Folk Music instruments were meticulously recorded using the cutting-edge Logic Pro X software, capturing their nuances in volume and dynamics. The authenticity of each instrument s timbre and unique characteristics were preserved through the use of sound adjustment and editing techniques. The appropriate organization and note nomenclature within the Kontakt software contributed to the library s well-structured and user-friendly design. The process of importing the sounds of musical instruments into Kontakt was seamless, involving selection, customization, and modification, resulting in a vast repository of sounds that are available for exploration. A user-friendly interface was thoughtfully designed to enhance the user s experience exploring the captivating sounds of traditional Isan Folk Music instruments. This digital sound library stands as a testament to the preservation and celebration of Isan Folk Music, providing artists and enthusiasts alike with a resourceful outlet for artistic expression and promoting global appreciation for this distinctive musical tradition, demonstrating the important role of music in cultural preservation and human evolution.},
