Ethno Instrument Description

World/ethnic instruments, loops and phrases in a unified window The Ethno Instrument delivers expressive ethnic instrument sounds combined with authentic world music loops and phrases in one easy-to-use window. From solo instruments to full ensembles, the Ethno Instrument delivers all of the exotic textures you need to take your recordings to the four corners of the globe.Start with a massive 4GB library of instrument samples from all over the world, recorded with pristine audio fidelity and careful attention to detail. Now add another 4GB of authentic loops and phrases, instantly tempo-locked to your host software time line. Slice loops with one click to trigger each beat from your keyboard, or drag and drop them into your host software tracks. Adjust your sounds quickly with the Ethno Instrument’s intuitive controls.Place your recordings in real acoustic spaces, from primordial caves to towering forests to remote canyons, all faithfully reproduced with stunning realism by the Ethno Instrument’s built-in convolution reverb processor.The Ethno Instrument is provides in both forms, as a stand-alone application and as a universally compatible plug-in, being available in all major plug-in formats for Mac OS X and Windows XP.The Ethno Instrument can operate by itself to turn your computer into a world instrument powerhouse with disk streaming and multiple outputs. Or load it as a plug-in that saves all settings with your host software documents for instant recall.Feature Highlights:Convolution reverb:Convolution is a process where the characteristics of a real acoustic space are directly sampled, such as a cave, forest, canyon, theater, cathedral or concert hall. The resulting impulse response (IR) consists of an audio file that holds the actual sound decay characteristics of the acoustic space. By sophisticated signal processing, that impulse response can then be applied to the loops, phrases and instrument presets in the Ethno Instrument, making them sound exactly as if it were being heard in the acoustic environment captured by the impulse response.Dynamic performance with Expert Mode:Expert mode lets you dynamically add, remove and stack (layer) multiple instruments, loops and phrases as you play them from your MIDI controller. Bring instruments in and out, on the fly, using key switches, velocity ranges or note ranges. You can even crossfade between instruments by sending continuous MIDI data (expression controllers) from a mod wheel or other device. Ethno Instrument truly is a powerful real-time performance tool that delivers an entire world of sounds to your fingertips.Realistic expression with MIDI controllers:Achieve incredibly realistic, dynamic performances from the Ethno Instrument using MIDI continuous controller data from your mod wheel, foot pedal, automated fader control surface or other MIDI control source. Most of the Ethno Instrument's parameters can be mapped to external control, giving you hands-on, real-time expressive control over your sounds. You can even assign MIDI modulation to crucial individual parameters such as filter cutoff frequency for even deeper expressiveness.Scroll Wheel Support:For additional convenience and fast operation, the Ethno Instrument supports the scroll wheel on your mouse. Use it to quickly adjust settings or choose an instrument.
