THE INTERFACE

ETHNO WORLD 6 Voices uses the free Kontakt 5 Player by Native Instruments as its sample-engine and can of course be used with the full version of Kontakt 5, too. For the new version, the user-interface's graphic has been completely redesigned and optimized for ultra fast access. There are numerous editing possibilities as well as innovative functions. ETHNO WORLD 6 Voices supports the Native Kontrol Standard (NKS), which allows tagging and interaction with the NI Komplete Kontrol keyboards and NI Maschine.

Further additions are a new waveform display, visualization of the sample-start-offset as well as a clearer use of the effects where, among other features, delay times are now displayed in tempo-related note values and milliseconds. The Timemachine (TM PRO) delivers significantly improved audio results with tempo adapted material, especially for polyphonic licks and loops.

And this is not only a benefit for the latest sounds of ETHNO WORLD 6 Voices but also for all sounds of ETHNO WORLD 5 which were completely revised in this regard. At the same time, the number of patches has been reduced, leading to a clearer menu structure.

Thanks to the integrated convolution reverb, all voices sound exceptionally realistic and natural. By using top-quality filters, LFOs, tune, automation, harmonizer and further effects, all instruments and voices can be efficiently edited and manipulated if needed - allowing to create new sonic worlds equally suited for modern music genres and film productions.

Instrumental Extension

ETHNO WORLD 6 Voices is the perfect choice whenever voices with a specific cultural coloring are needed for your productions. The solo-voices, phrases and choirs can be combined with almost any musical genre. If you aim for fully authentic productions of folkloric or traditional music, ETHNO WORLD 6 Instruments with its gigantic pool of string, wind, drum and percussion instruments is the perfect extension to ETHNO WORLD 6 Voices.
