How to unlock ARABIAN Ethnic Orchestra after successful installation

 

The third installment in our World Orchestra Series: ARABIAN Ethnic Orchestra

This collection features over 50 diverse instruments, ranging from playable plucked and bowed strings to vocals, winds, percussion, and sound design, capturing the essence of a true Middle Eastern orchestra. It includes advanced tuning capabilities to deliver an authentic regional sound, along with improvisations and phrases based on the most popular licks and grooves.

Arabian Ethnic Orchestra (or AEO) was fully recorded in Syria with the help of authentic Arabian musicians performing all of the instruments. For the ensembles (Strings, Percussion, Voice FX, etc) we used a medium-sized concert hall, and the soloists were recorded in a smaller studio. All was recorded with different microphones which we later summed into 3 microphone positions - Close, Mid, Far.

 


As the library has a lot of different content within, we decided to split it into different categories for easier navigation. AEO contains:


• 01 - Bowed Strings (Ensemble Strings and Solo Strings)
• 02 - Plucked Strings
• 03 - Woodwinds
• 04 - Percussion
• 05 - Voices
• 06 - Sparks


In addition to the articulations we typically sample, for this particular library we wanted to really capture the authentic performances of the different musicians, so that is why the library features a bunch of "Improvisation" instruments, along with some interesting "Phrases" patches. Please download our manual for a detailed list on articulations and instruments included.

 

The percussion section forms the backbone of the music from this region. We’ve included a variety of fully produced percussion loops, along with individual instrument performances for each, allowing you to achieve quick and satisfying results with ease. Multiple time signatures are available for maximum versatility, and the loops automatically sync to the tempo of your host sequencer.
