The PROSAMPLES series includes material from sample libraries that have already received thirty international awards! This PROSAMPLES volume includes the following formats: AUDIO, AIFF/MAC, AKAI, EXS24 and WAV/PC. Plus, you can save even more $$$ by buying more volumes (see the following table).

PROSAMPLES VOL.30 -WORLD INSTRUMENTS

Produced by Marcel Barsotti for Best Service, Ethno World is a sample collection that sounds incredibly alive: you can hear the squeaking and scraping of strings, the breathing of woodwind instruments and the decay of every single note or sound. You can hear hands on drum skins, side effects and overtones, and the different musical styles and moods of other countries will give your music an exotic and international flavour.

All the instruments on Ethno Word are meticulously multisampled: The ProSamples version includes stringed instruments (Saz, Udu, Kantele, Mandolin), bell & metal type instruments (Saron-Gamelan, Tibetan and Burma Bells), woodwinds (Indian, Irish and Mexican Flutes (piccolo) ) and global percussion instruments.

Please note: the audio demos and review quotes are from the original version of these libraries. For a complete listing of what is on the ProSamples version download the ProSamples Library Wizard at the top of this page.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: There are a number of samplers on the market that claim to be AKAI S1000 compatible. Best Service, East West, and Zero-G only guarantee the data in the AKAI partition will function perfectly on the AKAI S1000 sampler. If you experience problems in conjunction with other samplers, you should consider using some of the more generic formats included in your ProSamples package such as AIFF, WAV, or AUDIO.
