iNtrodUCtioNVOICES & CHOIRS from ETHNO WORLD 5 PROFESSIONAL is by the renowned fi lm com-poser Marcel Barsotti (Die Päpstin, Deutschland. Ein Sommermärchen, Das Wunder von Bern). This composer has already won several awards. He has composed music for more than 80 cinema, adver-tising and television fi lms and his musicians have been placed in the charts several times. VOICES & CHOIRS from ETHNO WORLD 5 PROFESSIONAL with its 7 GB content and about 4.000 samples and 200 patches is one of the largest ethnic vocal sample libraries in the world. There are 25 professionally recorded solo-voices from all over the world and an Ethnic Chamber Choir. You will fi nd voices from North America, Europe, Cameroon, Guinea, China, Mongolia, Iran, Turkey, Bulgaria, Ukraine, North Afrika and Peru and a detailed recorded Human Whistling.With the highly improved Legato-Mode in com-bination with several voice-articulations you now have the possibility to record realistic vocal lines. VOICES & CHOIRS from ETHNO WORLD 5 PROFESSIONAL has tapped into a new dimensi-on with Kontakt 4 and outstanding programming. A new instrument interface allows you via the new quick edit page to directly access all the essential parameters and thereby offers a intuitive handling of VOICES & CHOIRS instruments. By integration of the con-volution reverb the voices sound more natural. The realtime automation has been greatly simplifi ed. Furthermore elastic audio Time Machine II lets you transpose any vocal phrase. With sample start-shift you can determine when a phrase should begin. With the humanize mode every note has a slightly different tone and micro-tuning allows any type of tuning and ethnic scales. All VOICES & CHOIRS are performed by renow-ned singers & musicians under the direction of An-dreas Hofner and Marcel Barsotti.

I hope users all over the world will find much enjoyment, plenty of inspiration and musical creativity in the musical transfor-
mation of ethnic and other styles.

KHooMii overtone singingKhoomii singing is the typical Mongolian overtone sin-ging. This unique, ethnic sounding way of singing is created by combining abdominal, diaphragm and chest breathing. By varying the resonance of the mouth cavity and with stronger air compression it is possible to create melodies. The three basic Khoomii techniques are chest khoomii, throat khoomii and kharkhira khoomii.

tHe voices & cHoirs - tHe singers 04
trum 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, And-reas Weidinger („Rosamunde Pilcher: Wiedersehen am Shannon River“) and others. A wide spectrum of studio jobs on over 20 international CD‘s, and recording sessions with Rue du Soleil (Café del Mar) and Uffe Savery from Safri Duo complete his studio 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-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 for eW5 ProfessioNAL & eW5 VoiCes & Choirs:
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 advan-tage that the loops automaticly sync to the tem-po but the samples are sliced, meaning they are cut into fragments. The Speed-fader displays the BM-Sound lengths in quarters. If you divide the-se, 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 mas-ter-keyboard (usually E0) you can select varia-tions 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 12
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.
