Ethno Instrument 2 delivers the most comprehensive world/ethnic sound library ever offered in a single package, pairing expressive instrument sounds with authentic loops and phrases in one window. Its 21GB library — more than double the original — spans Asia, Africa, Europe, the Balkans, the British Isles, Latin America, Australia and beyond, from taiko and large African drums to Indian instruments, gongs, bells and regional vocals, all recorded with pristine fidelity.
Browse and search by category or geographic region, then tempo-lock any loop to your project and use the one-click Slice feature to trigger each beat from your keyboard or drag it into your host as MIDI. Apply microtonal tunings and scales (with Scala-format import) and IRCAM time-stretching, place sounds in real spaces with the built-in convolution reverb, and build ensembles with unlimited parts. Powered by the latest UVI Engine XT, it runs standalone (up to 64 MIDI channels) or as a plug-in on macOS and Windows.
