Includes over 200 different Ethnic Instruments from around the globe
Ethno World 4 contains more than 200 professionally recorded ethnic instruments and more than 14,000 high quality samples in the following categories - bowed instruments, stringed instruments, woodwind and brass, key instruments, bell type instruments, metal type instruments, world drums, world percussion, gongs and bowls, and the new category of voices. With its massive 10 gigabytes of samples, Ethno World is one of the most extensive ethnic sample libraries in the world.
New in Ethno World 4 is a complete Morin Khuur string ensemble (Mongolia). It is now possible to create a whole string arrangement with up to 14 key switches, similar to large orchestra libraries. Many instruments from all continents can be played, for example Saron, Tibetan Bells, Saz, Kantele, Irish Flutes, Military Cassa, Angklung, Egyptian Fiddle, Erhu, Gaohu, Scale Changer Harmonium, Bouzouki, Santoor, Hulusi, Dung Dkar Horns, Cajon, Balafon, Western Fiddle, Monochord, Irish Flutes and the new Duduk, Dvojacka, Hotchiku, Shakuhachi, Fujara, Ciaramella, Mankosedda, Jews Harp and Launeddas. Originating from India are the well known string instruments Dilruba and Esraj. Unique and for the first time for EW4 is a Mongolian choir, Overtone Singing, and individual female and male voices.
Also, there are 1400 licks and loops of outstanding quality and playability. All instruments and voices are played by renowned musicians under the direction of Andreas Hofner and Marcel Barsotti – Egschiglen Ensemble, Sandro Friedrich, Sandro Hussel, Enrique Ugarte, Raoul Alvarellos, Seref Dalyanoglu, Fabian Rõmer, Tom Hake and many more.
Ethno World 4, along with the new Kontakt 2 Player, are entering a new dimension with their progressive programming: with EW4 it is now possible for the first time to transpose all instruments and playing styles into any chosen key using the Kontakt Elastic Audio Engine ´Time Machine 2´. All drum and percussion loops can be played in all tempi with the Time Machine II and each individual loop is completely free to be programmed in all parameters. Using the Sample Start Offset it is possible to select the point when a lick starts playing. A Legato Modus is now available for solo instruments – very effective for instance with woodwind. With the Humanize Modus each new note can be given a slightly altered timbre. Microtuning makes possible the greatest diversity of ethnic tunings and tone scales.
Ethno World 4 has been produced by the multi award winning film composer Marcel Barsotti. Marcel has composed music for more than 80 cinema, advertising and television films.
With Ethno World 4 it is now possible to program in an entire orchestra!
