KONTAKT - 53,66 GB
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.

Thanks for sharing. And now we know why they tried to hide it behind serials and crap. It's not very good. There are way, way better options for everything inside this one. How on God's green Earth did they manage to use almost 60GB of space and it make it still sound so underwhelming is beyond me. There are better sounding string options, way better sounding vocal options, percussion options and woodwind options out there. But that's just my opinion as someone who enjoys ME music and the sounds. Others can disagree.

I totally agree with you. I thought I was in for a surprise but out with a disappointment.

Just wondering what libraries you would recommend over this one?
Many thanks!

My apologies for the late reply

Here's a list of what I think are better Oriental/Middle Eastern Libraries. Some of them are just Strings libraries.


Spot Light Collection Middle East

Stirngs of Anatolia

DEDE V3

Fayz Saidawi Oriental Strings

Kamajat Faycel Light Edition

Baklava

Aviram Arabic Strings

HR Sound HR Strings

HD Turkish Strings

You'll find most of these libraries here or search for other ones on google.

Im thinking of doing it but I dont know which mics would be best to leave. Thinking of just leaving the tree mics but im not sure how that would sound with the plucked instruments.

Hi guys,
I know I am slow...so thanks for your patience ;)
I am running vkDanilov portable version of Kontakt 8.2.0
- As per instructions, I copied s8_U6_n1.nka into
path_to_portable_folder/UserData/Arabian Ethnic Orchestra/Data

in my case "D:\Plugins\Native Instruments\KontaktPortable_v820\UserData\Arabian Ethnic Orchestra\Data"

but I'm still hitting the register page.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
Cheers
