Virtual Instruments. A virtual instrument (also software instrument) is used for sound creation on a computer. This can be by imitation of a real instrument, a software sampler or a synthesizer that produces various sounds by using synthesis.

Global commerce and the World Wide Web have connected musicians from different cultures as never before. Recordings made on six of seven continents and all points between are available to almost anyone who wants to listen.

The result has been an ongoing cross-pollination that fuses diverse combinations of traditional folk and classical music with rock, jazz, electronic, and other modern musical genres. This fusion combines ancient instruments with modern rhythms and modern instruments with ancient rhythms.

All of this multicultural exchange has been a motivating force behind a recent trend in sample-based software instruments. As the demand for sounds from Africa, Australia, the Near East, and the Far East has grown, so has the availability of sample libraries offering vocal and instrumental sounds from those regions. Around the World 11 Ways Diving into the world of multiethnic music software, I discovered dozens of sample libraries that might fit the scope of this article.

Although many are excellent, there's simply too much sample content to give adequate coverage in a single article. I decided to concentrate on virtual instruments, both plug-in and standalone, that don't require separate sampler software. Four titles — Afrolatin Slam, Beats Working in Cuba, Latin World, and Orient World — are built around Native Instruments Intakt Instrument, which is oriented for playing tempo-sliced loops. Ethno World 3 Complete and Ra are based on Kompakt Instrument, Native Instruments' more traditional sample player. The six Native Instruments — based titles run standalone or as plug-ins, as do Ethno Instrument and Culture.

The remaining three — Darbuka, Latigo, and SwarPlug — run only as plug-ins. The two Wizoo plug-ins have a custom graphical user interface, and Culture, Ethno Instrument, and SwarPlug have distinctive GUIs as well. Because they all come with large quantities of content, each requires quite a bit of storage space to install. Fortunately, none require that you install their content on your startup disk, and you sometimes get better performance by installing the samples on a separate hard drive.

SwarPlug is by far the smallest, with 171 MB of 16-bit content, and Ra is by far the largest, with more than 13 GB of content. Most supply 24-bit samples, and most can stream their samples from hard disk. All are cross-platform and support AU and VST plug-in formats in Mac OS X and VST in Windows XP. Culture, Ethno World 3 Complete, and SwarPlug run in older versions of Windows, too. Darbuka and Latigo support RTAS on the Mac, and the Native Instruments plug-ins support RTAS on both platforms. Culture supports DXi in Windows and RTAS on both computer platforms.

Ethno Instrument is the most all-inclusive, supporting AU, HTDM, MAS, RTAS, and VST in Mac OS X and DXi, HTDM, RTAS, and VST in Windows XP. All titles are copy protected. SwarPlug requires only that you enter a serial number called a product key. The six Native Instruments — based packages rely on a simple challenge-and-response system using a Registration Tool application. When you register Darbuka or Latigo by entering data directly into its setup window, you receive an authorization file to place in its content folder. Culture comes with a Yellow Tools — specific USB key, and Ethno Instrument includes an iLok USB key. Best Service Ethno World 3 Complete As the title suggests, Ethno World 3 Complete ($449.95) is the third and most comprehensive product to use the Ethno World name.
