THe SOUND CONCepTAlmost all instruments were recorded in stereo with various tempos. For sound reasons, several fl utes were sampled in mono. Very often fl utes do sound smoother and richer in mono. All instruments have been recorded with the fi nest state-of-the-art tube technology and then mastered with professional high quality plug-ins. Great care has been exercis-ed to transmit the authenticity of the instruments. This sometimes means that original melodies are sampled with some unavoidable sounds and noises. The reference tuning is set at 440 Hz.

HOW TO USe THe INSTRUMeNTS

The instruments can be used as they would be in a „normal“ orchestra.For this reason there are different groups such as bell type instruments, bowed instruments, cons-truction sets, gongs and bowls, key instruments, voices, construction sets, metal type instruments, stringed instruments, woodwinds and brass, world drums and world percussion. The instruments sound extremely dynamic and natural. You will hear the swish of vibrating strings and in addition there is an effects bank that lets you combine the specifi c noises of an instrument with the basic in-strument sound. In the main program many instruments are equip-ped with dimension keys. Via keys they let you select the different playing styles of the instrument. Some of the instruments are programmed with up to 14 dimension keys and playing styles. For a cer-tain instrument, the dimension keys allow you to change the playing styles like piano/forte, marcato, pizzicato, tremolo, glissandi, slides, mordent, trills and many more. With precise programming, one will no longer be able to differentiate between the Ethno World instruments and „real“ instruments. In addition, there are many different loops, licks and effects in all tempos. Ethno World 5 Profes-sional can be used within many different stylistic contexts.

The three basic Khoomii techniques are chest khoomii, throat khoomii and kharkhira khoomii.

sandro FrIedrIch

Sandro Friedrich started his education with early music. For over 20 years he has been working with instruments and music of many cultures. His skills have grown to include an astonishing spectrum of over 120 different wind instruments. His musical styles vary from world music, rock, folk, and pop, to techno/trance, from chill-out to fi lm music. For over 10 years he performed with his own band ACANTO (3CD‘s, awards, concerts, festivals, radio and TV appearances). As a studio musician he has recorded with well-known Swiss musicians such as Andreas Vollenweider and Dodo Hug. He has recorded fi lm music with composers such as Enjott Schneider („Die Flucht“), Andre Matthias („The Drummer“), Sebastian Pille, Andreas Wei-dinger („Rosamunde Pilcher: Wiedersehen am Shannon River“) and others. A wide spectrum of studio jobs on over 20 international CD‘s, and re-cording sessions with Rue du Soleil (Café del Mar) and Uffe Savery from Safri Duo complete his stu-dio experience. He also performs live in various bands and combinations. As musician and compo-ser his strength lies in the originality of his melodic

lines, the power of his rhythmic grooves and his ability to competently and fl exibly support diver-se musical atmospheres. His technical knowledge also enables recording jobs via internet in addition to traditional studio work. Please visit him at www.powerfl ute.ch for further information.

eGschIGlen enseMBle

Contemporary and traditional music and dance from Mongolia. The ensemble EGSCHIGLEN (“beauti-ful melody”) was founded in 1991 in Mongolia by master-class students at the Ulan Bator Conservatory. The core of the ensemble still consists of four of its founder members. From the outset these artists have placed their country’s contemporary music at the fo-refront and have systematically explored the sound dimensions of this repertoire with traditional instru-ments from Mongolia and with Central Asian song techniques. The name EGSCHIGLEN means “good sound” or “beautiful melody”. Tume (Tumenbayar Migdorj) and Tumru (Tumursaihan Yanlav) sing and play the horse head violin, the morin khuur, a string instrument with two horse hair strings which is played like a cello. Uugan (Uuganbaatar Tsend-Ochir) bows and plucks the bass. Solo singer Amra (Amartuwshin Baasandorj) sings in the khoomii style and plays the swan neck lute, the tobshuur. Khoomii is a specifi c kind of overtone singing, where lower tones and overtones are simultaneously modulated into a melody. Sara (Sarangel Tserevsamba) plays virtuoso dulcimer and is the female voice in the en-

the MusIcIans FroM ethno World 30

semble. EGSCHIGLEN’s music impresses with its variety and delicacy of expression. Khoomii singing, especially, is unbelievably amazing. Do these low and high notes really come from the throat at the same time? (indeed, they do!). The EGSCHIGLEN musicians transport us far away into the fascinating culture of their remote homeland, and at the same time into the common centre of human existence – beyond all cultural differences.

QUICK START MANUAL:

oPeratIon:In order to load a new instrument simply doublek-lick the .nki file in the Kontakt-Browser or drag it to the right with the mouse.If you drag on to an existing instrument then this one will be overwritten. The instrument interface of EW5 always boots with the quick Edit Page. For most applications this page is sufficient.To changing the value of the faders at a finer reso-lution simply hold the shift-key. With Cmd-Click (MAC) or Strg (PC) you can reset every fader to its default setting.The value-window above the tune-fader has two arrows to transpose in semi-tone steps. By double-clicking the window you can manually enter the number.To get a description of the fader functions just activate the INFO button in the top bar. This dis-plays helpful information in the bottom bar during mouse-over.Also it is recommended to activate the keyboard-view in Kontakt in order to see where the sample keys (grey) and the key switches (pink) are loca-ted. Newly loaded instruments are not displayed immediately. First you must click the interface to select it.You can change to a smaller view of the instruments by clicking the Ethno World 5 Icon (red circle).If thats not small enough click the minus-symbol at the top right of the instrument.

the InstruMents:There are various types of instruments which beco-mes apparent in the layout of the Quick Edit Page:• TM SYNC: musical phrases and licks are synced

to the tempo automaticly. Be mindful that extre-me deviation from the original file leads to distor-tion of the audio signal. The more overtones and polyphony a signal has, the sooner the distortion occurs.

• TM: The TM-Patches also have Time-machine, but all samples play in original tempo and tuning. However you can edit every note separately.

• BM: The Beat-machine-patches have the advantage that the loops automaticly sync to the tempo but the samples are sliced, meaning they are cut into fragments. The Speed-fader displays the BM-Sound lengths in quarters. If you divide these, for example the loop doubles in speed.• The “Normal”-patches without prefix mostly use the DFD-Mode (HD Streaming) and load very fast and use up the least resources.• KEY-Patches: With the lower keys of your master-keyboard (usually E0) you can select vari-ations of the instrument. The particular description of the variation is displayed on the Quick Edit Page in “active Key-group”.

With instruments that contain Licks or Loops, eve-ry note is assigned to its individual Group, so that every phrase can be edited in Group-Edit and Sam-ple Start Parameters.

Bell tyPe + Metal tyPe + GonGs & BoWls:

• Since metal instruments sound especially interesting when tuned down, there are patches where the samples cover a wide range called LOW or WIDE RANGE..

VoIces and choIr, BoWed InstruMents:

• Also there are many TM and TM SYNC Sounds, but also Pad- and Solo Sounds. In order to play Solo Sounds authentically you should activate the new Legato Function (Performance – Legato - Start-offset) and also with the sustain pedal the Glide-Effect. The Legato-Function enables very real note transitions, because it skips the attack-phase of the following samples in order to ele-gantly lead into the next Note.

• With many VOICES there are Pad-Sounds or Playback Tracks in the lower range of the key-board in order to put the sung phrases in con-text..

QuIckstart Manual 38

World druMs and World PercussIon

• In World Drums and World Percussion most of the patches are a mix of loops, rolls, fl ams and single hits. Whereby most of the loops where programmed as Beat-machine Sounds (sliced). Many rolls and fl ams however are Time-machi-ne-Sounds identifi able by the 100 (middle set-ting) of the Speed-Fader. With this you can easily sync turnarounds and breaks to your song-tempo or integrate these sounds into your loops. With single hits the Speed-Fader is useless.

• Tipp: Try playing several loops at once, but vary them in panorama, Tuning and fi lter settings. By doing this you can create very interesting and in-dividual rhythms.
