INTRODUCTION<br />

ETHNO WORLD 5 PROFESSIONAL & VOICES<br />

is by the renowned film composer Marcel Barsotti<br />

(Die Päpstin, Deutschland. Ein Sommermärchen,<br />

Das Wunder von Bern). This composer has already<br />

won several awards. He has composed music for<br />

more than 80 cinema, advertising and television<br />

films and his musicians have been placed in the charts<br />

several times.<br />

ETHNO WORLD 5 PROFESSIONAL & VOICES<br />

contains more than 240 professionally recorded<br />

ethnic instruments and more than 18.000<br />

high quality samples in the following categories:<br />

Bowed Instruments, Stringed Instruments,<br />

Woodwind & Brass, Key Instruments, Bell Type<br />

Instruments, Metal Type Instruments, World<br />

Drums, World Percussion, Gongs & Bowls and the<br />

new category of Voices & Choirs. Therefore, EW5<br />

PRO & VOICES with its 20 gigabytes of samples<br />

is one of the most extensive ethnic library in the<br />

world.<br />

ETHNO WORLD 5 PROFESSIONAL & VOICES<br />

contains the entire library „Ethno World 4 Professional“<br />

and an additional 10 GB with about 5.500<br />

new samples. Thereby ETHNO WORLD 5 PRO-<br />

FESSIONAL & VOICES with its 20 GB content<br />

and more than 800 patches is one of the largest ethnic<br />

sample libraries in the world.<br />

The latest addition <strong>to</strong> ETHNO WORLD 5 PRO-<br />

FESSIONAL & VOICES are 25 professionally recorded<br />

solo-voices from all over the world and an<br />

Ethnic Chamber Choir with over 3.800 new samples<br />

and phrases. You will find voices from North<br />

America, Cameroon, Guinea, China, Iran, Turkey,<br />

Bulgaria, Ukraine, North Afrika and Peru.<br />

With the highly improved Lega<strong>to</strong>-Mode in combination<br />

with several voice-articulations you now<br />

have the possibility <strong>to</strong> record realistic vocal lines.<br />

Another highlight for all film composers are the new<br />

Taiko Drums and Big Ethnic Tom Drums, consisting<br />

of individual samples (left and right hand) and<br />

hundreds of inspiring loops. In the category woodwinds<br />

you will find the famous Ney flute (Iran),<br />

the Pivana & Tenor Pivana flute (Corsica), the very<br />

meticulously recorded pan flute and human<br />

whistling. The category Metal Type Instruments<br />

there is an all new large selection of Hi-End Crash,<br />

Splash, Ride & China Cymbals with Hits, Swells<br />

and Loops, the Big Feng Gong and fine glistening<br />

Windchimes. The string instruments category has<br />

been updated with a Bandura from the ukraine.<br />

ETHNO WORLD 5 PROFESSIONAL & VOICES<br />

has tapped in<strong>to</strong> a new dimension with Kontakt 4<br />

and outstanding programming. A new instrument<br />

interface allows you via the new quick edit page<br />

<strong>to</strong> directly access all the essential parameters and<br />

thereby offers a more intuitive handling of ethno<br />

world instruments. By integration of the convolution<br />

reverb the instruments sound more natural. The<br />

realtime au<strong>to</strong>mation has been greatly simplified.<br />

Furthermore elastic audio Time Machine II lets you<br />

transpose any instrument phrase and playing style.<br />

With sample start-shift you can determine when a<br />

lick should begin. All drum- & percussion-loops<br />

and every solo-loop can be synchronized by Beatmachine<br />

II <strong>to</strong> any tempo or by the host sequencer.<br />

Also every loop is individually programmable.<br />

For solo instruments there is the new lega<strong>to</strong> mode.<br />

With the humanize mode every note has a slightly<br />

different <strong>to</strong>ne. And micro-tuning allows any type<br />

of tuning and ethnic scales.<br />

All ETHNO WORLD 5 PROFESSIONAL &<br />

VOICES instruments and voices are played by renowned<br />

musicians & singers under the direction of<br />

Andreas Hofner and Marcel Barsotti.<br />

Just listen <strong>to</strong> the Demo!<br />

I hope users all over the world will find<br />

much enjoyment, plenty of inspiration and<br />

musical creativity in the musical transformation<br />

of ethnic and other styles.<br />

THe SOUND CONCepT<br />

Almost all instruments were recorded in stereo with<br />

various tempos. For sound reasons, several fl utes<br />

were sampled in mono. Very often fl utes do sound<br />

smoother and richer in mono. All instruments have<br />

been recorded with the fi nest state-of-the-art tube<br />

technology and then mastered with professional<br />

high quality plug-ins. Great care has been exercised<br />

<strong>to</strong> transmit the authenticity of the instruments.<br />

This sometimes means that original melodies are<br />

sampled with some unavoidable sounds and noises.<br />

The reference tuning is set at 440 Hz.<br />

HOW TO USe THe<br />

INSTRUMeNTS<br />

The instruments can be used as they would be in a<br />

„normal“ orchestra.<br />

For this reason there are different groups such as<br />

bell type instruments, bowed instruments, construction<br />

sets, gongs and bowls, key instruments,<br />

voices, construction sets, metal type instruments,<br />

stringed instruments, woodwinds and brass, world<br />

drums and world percussion. The instruments<br />

sound extremely dynamic and natural. You will<br />

hear the swish of vibrating strings and in addition<br />

there is an effects bank that lets you combine the<br />

specifi c noises of an instrument with the basic instrument<br />

sound.<br />

In the main program many instruments are equipped<br />

with dimension keys. Via keys they let you<br />

select the different playing styles of the instrument.<br />

Some of the instruments are programmed with up<br />

<strong>to</strong> 14 dimension keys and playing styles. For a certain<br />

instrument, the dimension keys allow you <strong>to</strong><br />

change the playing styles like piano/forte, marca<strong>to</strong>,<br />

pizzica<strong>to</strong>, tremolo, glissandi, slides, mordent, trills<br />

and many more. With precise programming, one<br />

will no longer be able <strong>to</strong> differentiate between the<br />

Ethno World instruments and „real“ instruments.<br />

In addition, there are many different loops, licks<br />

and effects in all tempos. Ethno World 5 Professional<br />

can be used within many different stylistic<br />

contexts.<br />

Dra-Ngen (left) & Morin Khuur (right)<br />

The morin khuur sounds like a violin, but it has a<br />

trapezoidal body, a fretless neck and is strung with<br />

two horsehair strings. It was already being played<br />

in imperial palaces in the 12th century. The instrument<br />

is played with the fi ngernails or fi ngertips. It<br />

sounds a bit like a viola or a cello, but it can also be<br />

played in the higher violin ranges.<br />

Ih kh u u r Ba s s<br />

The bass morin khur is a bigger version of the<br />

morin khuur and plays in range and in sound like<br />

a traditional double bass.<br />

dI l r u B a<br />

The dilruba is similar <strong>to</strong> the esraj, but has a larger<br />

resonance box, an angular body and is strung<br />

with 20 instead of 15 resonance strings. This gives<br />

it a louder and fuller sound. As with the esraj, the<br />

ground base <strong>to</strong>ne is tuned in between C and D.<br />

Bo W e d In s t r u M n e t s 08


es r a J<br />

The Esraj (also known as israj or dilruba) is a string<br />

instrument found in two forms in India. Esraj and<br />

Dilruba have a very similar structure. Each has a sitar-like<br />

neck with 20 metal frets, and the neck holds<br />

a wooden rack with 12-15 sympathetic strings. The<br />

dilruba has more sympathetic strings and a differently<br />

shaped body than the esraj, but they both<br />

have four main strings which are bowed. All strings<br />

are metal, and the soundboard is a stretched piece<br />

of goatskin. The neck is played with a bow, with<br />

the other hand moving along the strings above the<br />

frets. The player may slide the note up or down <strong>to</strong><br />

achieve the portamen<strong>to</strong>, or meend, characteristic of<br />

Indian music.<br />

eG y P t I a n FI d d l e<br />

The Egyptian Fiddle does have a fi ngerboard and<br />

two strings but no frets. It has a high pitched sound<br />

and tends <strong>to</strong>wards a hollow, nasal sound.<br />

We s t e r n FI d d l e<br />

The Western Fiddle is a bowed instrument very<br />

similar <strong>to</strong> the Violin. The Fiddle differs from the<br />

classical Violin in the way that it is played and in<br />

small mouffl on sheep horn.<br />

Fu J a r a<br />

The Slovakian Fujara - like many fl utes an instrument<br />

of the cattle drovers - is made from elder. After<br />

removing the soft pulp, the two elder tubes (one<br />

up <strong>to</strong> 170 cm/67 inches long, the other signifi cantly<br />

shorter) are attached <strong>to</strong> each other. The long tube is<br />

fi tted with a labium and three gripholes, the shorter<br />

tube gets a mouthpiece which is used <strong>to</strong> blow the<br />

fl ute.<br />

dV o J a c k a<br />

The dvojacka is a double fl ute / over<strong>to</strong>ne fl ute from<br />

Slovakia. It has a quarter of the length of the fujara<br />

and therefore these instruments can be played<br />

<strong>to</strong>gether. The musical possibilities include doublefl<br />

ute-melodies and over<strong>to</strong>ne fl ute techniques similar<br />

<strong>to</strong> the ones used on the fujara.<br />

Ir I s h tr a V e r s e Fl u t e<br />

A keyless Irish fl ute with an ebony body and a silver<br />

head with an ebonite lip plate, made in County Clare.<br />

This style of fl ute has become popular in Ireland in the<br />

last 50 years, but was originally based on the German<br />

“reform fl ute”. Its rich sound has become an unmistakeable<br />

part of traditional Irish music.<br />

th e ne y<br />

The ney is an end-blown fl ute which is widely used<br />

in Turkish, Persian and Arabic music. Its origins<br />

reach back as far as 3000 BC. The ney consists of a<br />

piece of hollow cane or reed with fi ve or six fi nger<br />

holes and one thumb hole.<br />

PI n k I l l o<br />

The pinkillo is a fi pple fl ute from the South American<br />

Andes. It is typically 30 - 40cm in length and made from<br />

bamboo or reed. The range is usually two octaves.<br />

oc a r I n a s<br />

Ocarinas are fi pple fl utes made from clay with<br />

a non-cylindrical hollow which enables various<br />

fi ngering techniques. They originate in Italy, where<br />

traditional instrument makers construct them<br />

in many different sizes. The range is usually one<br />

octave and three <strong>to</strong>nes.<br />

du d u k<br />

The duduk is a double-reed instrument from Armenia.<br />

Its huge reed which gives the instrument its<br />

voice-like, mournful sound, is made from an indigenous<br />

reed. The body of the instrument is usually<br />

made from aged apricot wood. The range is one<br />

octave.<br />

sh a k u h a c h I<br />

The shakuhachi is a Japanese end notch fl ute, usually<br />

made from bamboo. The open notch makes it<br />

more diffi cult <strong>to</strong> play but more versatile in sound<br />

variations. It was originally used by the members<br />

of a sect of Zen Buddhism as a part of their meditation.<br />

The range is two octaves and three <strong>to</strong>nes.<br />

dI d G e r I d o o<br />

The didgeridoo is a wind instrument from the<br />

Australian Aborigines. By slightly changing the<br />

position of the mouth, the player can infl uence the<br />

over<strong>to</strong>ne spectrum of the sound. The instrument is<br />

mostly played with circular breathing, a technique<br />

which enables continuous sound.<br />

ho t c h I k u<br />

This is the big brother of the shakuhachi. It requires<br />

the same playing techniques and has similar sound<br />

characteristics as the shakuhachi, but it is about 2.3<br />

feet in length and therefore lower in pitch.<br />

Wo o d W I n d & Br a s s 16


cI a r a M e l l a<br />

The ciaramella is a shawm from the Abbruzze<br />

mountains of Italy. It is a double- reed instrument<br />

of about 1 foot of length with an unmistakable loud<br />

nasal sound and a range of one octave. Traditionally<br />

it is played around Christmas time <strong>to</strong>gether<br />

with the Italian zampogna (bagpipes).<br />

la u n e d d a s<br />

The Sardinian launeddas consist of three single<br />

pipes made of reed: two fi ve-holed chanters and a<br />

drone. They are played with circular breathing and<br />

are still used for religious ceremonies and dances.<br />

The range is one octave.<br />

Ma n c o s e d d a<br />

Like the launeddas, its origins lie in Sardinia. It is<br />

a single-reed instrument with similar sound characteristics,<br />

but unlike the launeddas it has up <strong>to</strong><br />

seven holes which makes it more useful for complex<br />

melodies and gives it an extended range of one<br />

octave.<br />

cr u M h o r n<br />

The Crumhorn with its rather duck-like sound quality<br />

is a double-reed instrument from the European<br />

Renaissance, where such instruments were often<br />

played in groups of different sizes. The doublereed<br />

itself is hidden in a closed cap.<br />

tIn Wh I s t l e<br />

The tin whistle is an Irish fi pple fl ute made of metal<br />

which usually has a range of two octaves and four<br />

<strong>to</strong>nes. The particular decoration techniques and<br />

slurs make its sound unmistakeable.<br />

lo W Wh I s t l e<br />

The low whistle might be encountered a bit less<br />

often than the tin whistle in traditional Irish music,<br />

but it has a richer sound. It is often used in<br />

slow airs.<br />

Uilleann Pipes Irish & Over<strong>to</strong>n Whistles<br />

Uilleann Pipes is the name for the Irish bagpipe.<br />

Uilleann is the gaelic word for elbow. The name<br />

came from the fact that the Uillean Pipes get supplied<br />

with air not with the mouth, but by a bellow<br />

which is compressed with the elbow.<br />

The Pan Flute - named after Pan, god of the sheperds.<br />

The sound of this instrument originates from<br />

an airstream which is directed <strong>to</strong> a sharp edge that<br />

cuts this airstream (on its cutting edge). All over<br />

the world Pan Flutes developed in different cultures<br />

more than 6000 years ago. Today the very<br />

airy sounding Pan Flutes from South America are<br />

famous, especially the ones from the Andes with<br />

their tubes aligned in one row. There are 2 different<br />

Panfl utes in this Library<br />

Over<strong>to</strong>n Whistles are handmade Irish aluminium<br />

whistles. Three whistles are combined <strong>to</strong> one instrument<br />

<strong>to</strong> achieve a greater range.<br />

Va r I o u s Wo o d W I n d s<br />

All the woodwind instruments have tapered notes,<br />

some with and some without vibra<strong>to</strong>. The following<br />

instruments are included: an Indian and a Ceylonese<br />

snake charmer and a double neck recorder made<br />

from a pumpkin, which always plays two notes at<br />

once like a bagpipe. There is, however, a programme<br />

that lets you play on just one recorder neck at<br />

a time. With its loop version you can imitate Irish<br />

pipes. There is a big bamboo fl ute from Indonesia<br />

for warm sounds and for a strong ethnic fl ute character,<br />

a Mexican piccolo, a clay ocarina<br />

from Peru, a Dagoba (temple) fl ute from Sri Lanka<br />

and an al<strong>to</strong> recorder in F. In addition, there is a<br />

good selection of fl ute phrases and effects for the<br />

musical regions of East Asia and South America.<br />

WORLD DRUMS<br />

All drums have two or more dynamics on each<br />

key and all loops are in beatmachine-mode. Many<br />

programs contain single samples in addition <strong>to</strong> the<br />

loops <strong>to</strong> imitate a phrase realistically.<br />

Japanese Taiko Drums are stick instruments and<br />

used in both Japanese folk and classical musical<br />

traditions. They have heads on both sides of the<br />

drum body, and a sealed resonating cavity. Taiko<br />

are also characterized by a high amount of tension<br />

on the drums heads, with a correspondingly high<br />

pitch relative <strong>to</strong> body size.<br />

Khoomii singing is the typical Mongolian over<strong>to</strong>ne singing.<br />

This unique, ethnic sounding way of singing is<br />

created by combining abdominal, diaphragm and chest<br />

breathing. By varying the resonance of the mouth cavity<br />

and with stronger air compression it is possible <strong>to</strong> create<br />

melodies. The three basic Khoomii techniques are chest<br />

khoomii, throat khoomii and kharkhira khoomii.<br />

Sandro Friedrich started his education with early<br />

music. For over 20 years he has been working with<br />

instruments and music of many cultures. His skills<br />

have grown <strong>to</strong> include an as<strong>to</strong>nishing spectrum of<br />

over 120 different wind instruments. His musical<br />

styles vary from world music, rock, folk, and pop,<br />

<strong>to</strong> techno/trance, from chill-out <strong>to</strong> fi lm music. For<br />

over 10 years he performed with his own band<br />

ACANTO (3CD‘s, awards, concerts, festivals,<br />

radio and TV appearances). As a studio musician<br />

he has recorded with well-known Swiss musicians<br />

such as Andreas Vollenweider and Dodo Hug. He<br />

has recorded fi lm music with composers such as<br />

Enjott Schneider („Die Flucht“), Andre Matthias<br />

(„The Drummer“), Sebastian Pille, Andreas Weidinger<br />

(„Rosamunde Pilcher: Wiedersehen am<br />

Shannon River“) and others. A wide spectrum of<br />

studio jobs on over 20 international CD‘s, and recording<br />

sessions with Rue du Soleil (Café del Mar)<br />

and Uffe Savery from Safri Duo complete his studio<br />

experience. He also performs live in various<br />

bands and combinations. As musician and composer<br />

his strength lies in the originality of his melodic<br />

lines, the power of his rhythmic grooves and his<br />

ability <strong>to</strong> competently and fl exibly support diverse<br />

musical atmospheres. His technical knowledge<br />

also enables recording jobs via internet in addition<br />

Contemporary and traditional music and dance from<br />

Mongolia. The ensemble EGSCHIGLEN (“beautiful<br />

melody”) was founded in 1991 in Mongolia by<br />

master-class students at the Ulan Ba<strong>to</strong>r Conserva<strong>to</strong>ry.<br />

The core of the ensemble still consists of four of its<br />

founder members. From the outset these artists have<br />

placed their country’s contemporary music at the forefront<br />

and have systematically explored the sound<br />

dimensions of this reper<strong>to</strong>ire with traditional instruments<br />

from Mongolia and with Central Asian song<br />

techniques. The name EGSCHIGLEN means “good<br />

sound” or “beautiful melody”. Tume (Tumenbayar<br />

Migdorj) and Tumru (Tumursaihan Yanlav) sing<br />

and play the horse head violin, the morin khuur, a<br />

string instrument with two horse hair strings which<br />

is played like a cello. Uugan (Uuganbaatar Tsend-<br />

Ochir) bows and plucks the bass. Solo singer Amra<br />

(Amartuwshin Baasandorj) sings in the khoomii style<br />

and plays the swan neck lute, the <strong>to</strong>bshuur. Khoomii<br />

is a specifi c kind of over<strong>to</strong>ne singing, where lower<br />

<strong>to</strong>nes and over<strong>to</strong>nes are simultaneously modulated<br />

in<strong>to</strong> a melody. Sara (Sarangel Tserevsamba) plays<br />

virtuoso dulcimer and is the female voice in the en-<br />

th e Mu s I c I a n s F r o M et h n o Wo r l d 30


semble. EGSCHIGLEN’s music impresses with its<br />

variety and delicacy of expression. Khoomii singing,<br />

especially, is unbelievably amazing. Do these low<br />

and high notes really come from the throat at the<br />

same time? (indeed, they do!). The EGSCHIGLEN<br />

musicians transport us far away in<strong>to</strong> the fascinating<br />

culture of their remote homeland, and at the same<br />

QUICK START MANUAL:<br />

oP e r a t I o n:<br />

In order <strong>to</strong> load a new instrument simply doubleklick<br />

the .nki file in the Kontakt-Browser or drag it<br />

<strong>to</strong> the right with the mouse.<br />

If you drag on <strong>to</strong> an existing instrument then this<br />

one will be overwritten. The instrument interface<br />

of EW5 always boots with the quick Edit Page. For<br />

most applications this page is sufficient.<br />

To changing the value of the faders at a finer resolution<br />

simply hold the shift-key. With Cmd-Click<br />

(MAC) or Strg (PC) you can reset every fader <strong>to</strong><br />

its default setting.<br />

The value-window above the tune-fader has two<br />

arrows <strong>to</strong> transpose in semi-<strong>to</strong>ne steps. By doubleclicking<br />

the window you can <strong>manual</strong>ly enter the<br />

number.<br />

To get a description of the fader functions just<br />

activate the INFO but<strong>to</strong>n in the <strong>to</strong>p bar. This displays<br />

helpful information in the bot<strong>to</strong>m bar during<br />

mouse-over.<br />

Also it is recommended <strong>to</strong> activate the keyboardview<br />

in Kontakt in order <strong>to</strong> see where the sample<br />

keys (grey) and the key switches (pink) are located.<br />

Newly loaded instruments are not displayed<br />

immediately. First you must click the interface <strong>to</strong><br />

select it.<br />

You can change <strong>to</strong> a smaller view of the instruments<br />

by clicking the Ethno World 5 Icon (red circle).<br />

If thats not small enough click the minus-symbol at<br />

the <strong>to</strong>p right of the instrument.<br />

th e In s t r u M e n t s:<br />

There are various types of instruments which becomes<br />

apparent in the layout of the Quick Edit Page:<br />

• TM SYNC: musical phrases and licks are synced<br />

<strong>to</strong> the tempo au<strong>to</strong>maticly. Be mindful that extreme<br />

deviation from the original file leads <strong>to</strong> dis<strong>to</strong>rtion<br />

of the audio signal. The more over<strong>to</strong>nes and<br />

polyphony a signal has, the sooner the dis<strong>to</strong>rtion<br />

occurs.<br />

• TM: The TM-Patches also have Time-machine,<br />

but all samples play in original tempo and tuning.<br />

However you can edit every note separately.<br />

• BM: The Beat-machine-patches have the<br />

advantage that the loops au<strong>to</strong>maticly sync <strong>to</strong> the<br />

tempo but the samples are sliced, meaning they are<br />

cut in<strong>to</strong> fragments. The Speed-fader displays the<br />

BM-Sound lengths in quarters. If you divide these,<br />

for example the loop doubles in speed.<br />

• The “Normal”-patches without prefix mostly<br />

use the DFD-Mode (HD Streaming) and load very<br />

fast and use up the least resources.<br />

• KEY-Patches: With the lower keys of your<br />

master-keyboard (usually E0) you can select variations<br />

of the instrument. The particular description<br />

of the variation is displayed on the Quick Edit Page<br />

in “active Key-group”.<br />

With instruments that contain Licks or Loops, every<br />

note is assigned <strong>to</strong> its individual Group, so that<br />

every phrase can be edited in Group-Edit and Sample<br />

Start Parameters.<br />

Bell tyPe + Metal tyPe<br />

+ GonGs & BoWls:<br />

• Since metal instruments sound especially<br />

interesting when tuned down, there are patches<br />

where the samples cover a wide range called LOW<br />

or WIDE RANGE..<br />

VoIces and choIr,<br />

BoWed InstruMents:<br />

• Also there are many TM and TM SYNC Sounds,<br />

but also Pad- and Solo Sounds. In order <strong>to</strong> play<br />

Solo Sounds authentically you should activate<br />

the new Lega<strong>to</strong> Function (Performance – Lega<strong>to</strong><br />

- Start-offset) and also with the sustain pedal the<br />

Glide-Effect. The Lega<strong>to</strong>-Function enables very<br />

real note transitions, because it skips the attackphase<br />

of the following samples in order <strong>to</strong> elegantly<br />

lead in<strong>to</strong> the next Note.<br />

• With many VOICES there are Pad-Sounds or<br />

Playback Tracks in the lower range of the keyboard<br />

in order <strong>to</strong> put the sung phrases in context..<br />

Qu I c k s t a r t M a n u a l 38


World druMs<br />

a n d World PercussIon<br />

• In World Drums and World Percussion most<br />

of the patches are a mix of loops, rolls, fl ams and<br />

single hits. Whereby most of the loops where<br />

programmed as Beat-machine Sounds (sliced).<br />

Many rolls and fl ams however are Time-machine-Sounds<br />

identifi able by the 100 (middle setting)<br />

of the Speed-Fader. With this you can easily<br />

sync turnarounds and breaks <strong>to</strong> your song-tempo<br />

or integrate these sounds in<strong>to</strong> your loops. With<br />

single hits the Speed-Fader is useless.<br />

• Tipp: Try playing several loops at once, but vary<br />

them in panorama, Tuning and fi lter settings. By<br />

doing this you can create very interesting and individual<br />

rhythms.<br />

peRFORMANCe:<br />

This section contains specifi c playing options that<br />

can alter your performance: Lega<strong>to</strong> mode, Humanize<br />

and Harmonize. All these effects concern the<br />

whole instrument.<br />

leGa<strong>to</strong>:<br />

Lega<strong>to</strong> ON/OFF Switch<br />

Enables the Lega<strong>to</strong> function. If Lega<strong>to</strong> is on, the<br />

Harmonize function can’t be used and the instrument<br />

is set <strong>to</strong> a monophonic Solo-Mode.<br />

st a r t oF F s e t<br />

Sets the Sample Start Offset of the lega<strong>to</strong> played<br />

notes. This effect concerns the whole instrument.<br />

For Instruments in DFD mode (disk streaming) like<br />

drums and percussions, the offset is not working.<br />

le G a t o x-Fa d e<br />

Sets the Crossfade Time of the lega<strong>to</strong> played notes.<br />

This has no effect when you play with the Lega<strong>to</strong><br />

Glide Effect while pressing the sustain pedal (CC64).<br />

This effect concerns the whole instrument.<br />

Gl I d e tI M e<br />

Sets the Lega<strong>to</strong> Glide Time of the lega<strong>to</strong> played<br />

notes. Press the sustain pedal (CC64) <strong>to</strong> hear the<br />

effect. This effect concerns the whole instrument.<br />

huManIZe:<br />

tu n I n G<br />

maximum detune value is 100 cents in both directions.<br />

This effect concerns the whole instrument.<br />

eQ aM o u n t<br />

Sets the amount of the EQ Humanizing. Each note<br />

gets a slightly altered 1-band EQ-setting, depending<br />

on the chosen Humanize Setting. This very<br />

subtile effect concerns the whole instrument.<br />

hu M a n I Z e se t t I n G d r o P d o W n<br />

Select the EQ setting for the EQ Humanizing. This<br />

effect concerns the whole instrument.<br />

harMonIZe<br />

If pressed, one additional note is created. Adjust<br />

it´s tuning with the tune data-entry below. This effect<br />

concerns the whole instrument.<br />

tu n e<br />

Sets the tuning of the additional note. With the arrows<br />

on the right side of the fi eld you can adjust the<br />

tuning in semi<strong>to</strong>nes.<br />

eDIT ALL BUTTON:<br />

This but<strong>to</strong>n is as powerful as it is dangerous. Not<br />

for your life or your studio – but for the settings of<br />

your instruments.<br />

If the Edit All but<strong>to</strong>n is enabled, all changes you<br />

make are applied <strong>to</strong> all groups, keyswitches or<br />

loops that are part of the instrument. That includes<br />

Time-and Beatmachine, fi lter, volume and tune<br />

settings. No matter what group you have been working<br />

on before, the settings are applied <strong>to</strong> all parts<br />

of the instrument.<br />

If the Edit All but<strong>to</strong>n is disabled, the changes are<br />

only applied <strong>to</strong> the currently selected group, loop<br />

or phrase. In KEY-Instruments, this is the active<br />

Keygroup, in the other instruments, the selected<br />

group is the last played note or sound.<br />

Effects from the effects- and the performance section<br />

are always affecting the whole instrument and<br />

are not affected by the Edit All but<strong>to</strong>n.<br />

And if you really get stuck, you can always reload<br />

your instrument.<br />
