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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

Ocarinas are fi pple fl utes made from clay with<br />
a non-cylindrical hollow which enables various<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
Randomly detunes each note. If set <strong>to</strong> 100%, the<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 />
ad d n o t e<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 />
