Great Sound, easy and straight forward operation, completely functional.

Garritan Rocks!

I've only just started using World Instruments, but I'm amazed at how realistic the instruments sound and the coverage of all the different types of instruments for each country. I was actually a little disappointed by the sitar sound (though it might just be the way i'm playing the keyboard for it), but the rest of the instruments are amazing. The 'ensemble' groups make it easy and fun to put together several instruments that play nicely together. The interface is easy to use, intuitive, and the visual display of each instruments range on a keyboard at the bottom is invaluable for scoring the different authentic sounds together.

Are you ready to travel the world?

Another amazing "value for money" product from Garritan! This is a complete library of ethnic/folk instruments. The library covers everything that you are going to need: it includes winds, strings, percussion, plus many other types of instruments from ALL around the world! Regions like Africa, China, India, Japan, Europe, North & Latin America, the Middle East, and Oceania are covered, with a total number of more than 350 instruments! They sounds are very nice and realistic for that price range, and they can be improved even more with a few clicks (via the included ARIA Player's interface, the most user-friendly of its kind)! You really can't get a better deal than this Library below $150!

Last but not least, as always, Sweetwater offered an amazing support and help (my personal sales engineer is Jared Kalish), that guided me to pick the right product for me! Once again well done Sweetwater and Jared Kalish!

I love this software but it is not very interesting without incorporation of a way to create your own arpeggios.
