Arabian Ethnic Orchestra. This collection features over 50 diverse instruments, from bowed and plucked strings to vocals, brass, percussion and sound design, conveying the essence of a real Middle Eastern orchestra. The collection includes advanced settings for an authentic regional sound, as well as improvisations and phrases based on the most popular melodies and grooves.
Arabian Ethnic Orchestra was recorded in Syria with real Arab musicians. For the ensembles (strings, percussion, vocal effects, etc.) we used a medium-sized concert hall, while the soloists were recorded in a smaller studio. Everything was recorded with different microphones, which were then distributed into 3 positions – Close, Mid and Far.
In addition to the articulations we usually sample, we wanted to convey the authentic performances of the various musicians in this library, so we included a lot of Improvisation patches, as well as some interesting Phrases patches.
The percussion section is the backbone of the music of this region. We included a lot of percussion loops, as well as separate instrument parts for each of them, which will allow you to quickly and easily achieve satisfactory results. For maximum versatility, loops are also available that automatically sync to the tempo of your sequencer.
