THE INTERFACE

ETHNO WORLD 6 Voices uses the free Kontakt 5 Player or the full version Kontakt 5 from Native Instruments as a sample engine. For the new version, the graphical user interface has been completely redesigned and provided with an ultra-fast user interface. There are numerous editing options and innovative functions. ETHNO WORLD 6 Voices supports the Native Control Standard (NKS), which enables tagging and interaction with the NI Komplete Kontrol keyboards and NI machines.

There is also a new waveform display and display of the sample start offset as well as clearer operation of the effects, where the delay values ​​are now displayed with tempo-related notes and milliseconds. The Timemachine (TM PRO) allows significantly improved audio properties with material adapted to the tempo, especially with polyphonic licks and loops.

Not only the sounds newly recorded for ETHNO WORLD 6 Voices benefit, but also all sounds from ETHNO WORLD 5, which have been completely revised in this regard and for which a clearer menu navigation has been created by reducing the number of patches.

Thanks to the integrated folding reverb, the voices sound very natural. Thanks to high-quality filters, LFO, tune, automation, harmonizers and other effects, all instruments and voices can be effectively alienated and edited as required and thus completely new soundscapes can be created in modern music and film productions.

Instrumental expansion

If you want to record completely authentic productions of folkloric or traditional music, then the library ETHNO WORLD 6 Instruments with its huge stock of string and wind instruments as well as drums and percussion is the perfect addition to ETHNO WORLD 6 Voices.
