These two signals are then unified with a x-fader. The gate sequencer allows independent gating between these two bays and unified control of amount, shape, speed and length of sequence. It contains two sound bays, each designed to create differing sonic treatments, with individual and independent modulators, control of trim, bend, glide, cloning, tuning, ADSR, LPFs, HPFs and wobbles that modulate pitch, volume and filters. Imagine the eDNA engine as a set of two turntables and a highly sophisticated DJ mixer. Designed to take you to new levels of sonic exploration and adventure, this library offers you a lifetime of inspiration, and is an essential resource for any producer, composer or sound designer looking for that new sound or texture. Throbbing basses and pulsing loops, ideal for dance music thunderous drones, subsonic low-end and visceral, tortured drum hits, for adding movement and depth Blade Runner-style synths, made from antelope horns, and ethereal pads and breathtakingly beautiful evolving textures, for three dimensional cinematic soundscapes. From playable one shots and short phrases to tuned and untuned rhythmic loops and recordings up to a minute long, discover sounds with subtle movement, complexity and evolution. Some have been subtly manipulated, while others heavily processed, unrecognisable from their original source material. Discover hundreds of sounds, treated in various different ways using our expertise and technology, with every sound run through 3000 lines of code. Our eDNA engine provides you with endless parameters and possibilities to enhance every sound even further.

Being all fretless, these instruments can be comfortably used to perform the Arabic Maqam scales.Orbis gives you much more than organic field recordings -ĩ0% of the library is made up of treated content, created from the clean recordings by our expert team of engineers in our own journey of sonic discovery. The violin, viola, cello and upright bass are very widely used in Arabic music, especially in large ensembles like Umm Kulthum's Orchestra and the Diamond Orchestra in Egypt. They are used to various extents in Arabic music, especially in modern Arabic Jazz fusion styles. The flute, saxophone, clarinet, and trumpet are not equal-tempered instruments and allow greater control over pitch than the above. Drum sets and electronic percussion are are also commonly used with contemporary Arabic pop/dance music. Some of these instruments can be altered to produce quartertones. These include the piano, the electric piano, the electric organ, the Oriental keyboard, the accordion, the electric guitar, and the electric (fretted) bass. Others were used as 12-tone equal-tempered instruments without any alteration. Some Arabized instruments were altered to play additional notes and deliver a close enough version of the correct Arabic maqam intonation. Most of these instruments were pioneered in Egypt, where musicians developed new ornamentation styles and playing techniques that made these instruments sound "Arabic". The two families are meant to complement each other in order to create a richer and more complete sound.Īrabized instruments are non-Arabic instruments that came in to the Arabic music ensemble in the 20 th century and became part of the Arabic music sound of that period. The violin and the nay fall under sahb, the oud and the qanun fall under naqr. Stylistically, melodic instruments are divided into two families: sahb (pulling or stretching), and naqr (plucking or hammering). Sometimes the riqq is supplemented/substituted with the tabla or the daff (frame drum), and the melodic instruments are supplemented with the buzuq. The traditional Arabic ensemble or takht consists of four main melodic instruments: the oud, the nay, the qanun, and the violin, and one main percussion instrument: the riqq.
