One of the most exciting things about Monster Ethnica is that it’s an ever-evolving virtual instrument. With continuous expansion updates, you’ll always have access to new and exciting sounds that will inspire your creative genius.

Four solo folk wind instruments, with various articulations, and organic pad sounds made from ensemble textures and the original source material.
Folk Winds consists of four solo folk wind instruments: Recorder, Ocarina, Wooden Flute, Pan Pipes, also pad sounds made from the original samples and some new ensemble textures.

This was made with the purpose of scoring RPGs, specifically tavern music which is often based on European folk styles. However, the organic pad sounds can add a really nice ambience to other types of music.

The recorder, ocarina and wooden flute are set up so the sustain pedal (CC64) triggers the solo articulation, while keyswitches control the different articulations. The solo articulation triggers the main articulation samples with the start offset a little bit for more smooth legato. In other words, simulated legato, but still quite realistic sounding. The Modwheel (CC1) controls volume.

The pan pipes are set up so that the regular articulation is from C3 up and the lower keys are various tuned effects. Modwheel (CC1) controls volume.

The pad sounds come from both the original sounds and some new ensemble textures. The ensemble textures consist of five instruments played in different ways, which we have balanced to our taste. However if you want to change the balance of the five instruments, simply go under the hood and adjust the volume and panning of each group to taste. If you would like to use your own reverb plugin instead of the built in convolution, we have included all of the patches in the Pads Dry folder without the reverb and delay. The modwheel (CC1) controls crescendos for all pad sounds. However instead of controlling volume, the modwheel opens the SV1 filter which we feel creates a nicer sounding crescendo in this instance.

We hope you enjoy our sounds and make fantastic compositions with them.

SIM-HANDPAN aims to simulate this modern and remarkable type of instrument, the first one by PANArt being called a Hang.

Real well-tuned ones cost over £2000 plus you have to decide in advance what notes you want on it and then wait 2-3 months for it to be made and delivered. With this synth you can choose the notes you want and not pay a penny!

SIM-THROAT is an effect plugin and the idea is you sing into it and use it to simulate throat singing.

It’s far from being convincing or authentic but you might have some fun making noises with it!

Harmonus was inspired by a Magnus Model 300 Harmonium / organ (a brand of the “Magnus Harmonica Corporation”) from our collection in perfect condition.

It delivers a warm and unique sound between an accordion and a harmonica. The samples have been meticulously captured in stereo and denoised in order to render all the naturalness of the original organ without the noise of the mechanical fan.

• Quality stereo capture.
• Mode “one finger chord” on the left keyboard or a dedicated channel: one finger for a major chord two for a minor chord.
• The original 2 octaves have been extended to a full 88 keyboard.
• Built-in effects: Reverb, Chorus, Tremolo, EQ.

SIM-DIZI aims to synthesise the sound of a Chinese dizi flute which is a transverse blown bamboo flute with a buzzing membrane to create a brighter sound.

Like all SIM series, no samples are used, so you have control of many aspects of the timbre and behaviour. The presets show some other flute-like sounds you can make too.

The SIM-DIDGE aims to provide a subset of some typical sounds, but since the player relies so heavily on vocal techniques I provided a microphone “VOICE” input. This can add your vocalisations which can be lip-gated or direct into the tube for “beat boxing”. To synthesise all possible vocal sounds would be an immense task, calling for a voice synthesiser which would be immensely difficult to create and to program by the user. So I hope you find this more of a fun plugin which can create sounds suggestive of the instrument, rather than a full-fledged all-encompassing emulation.Another element in traditional and modern Didge music is when the player taps a rhythm, usually on the tube using a piece of wood. The SIM-DIDGE provides for this TAP sound. The synth can generate a wide range of percussive sound ranging from a drum, through a tube strike to tap sticks
