I'm finding it difficult to find good samples or VST plug-ins with excellent Arabic instruments. I'm currently using Cakewalk SONAR (since I was a big Cakewalk fan back in the...*ahem*...DOS days. Yeah, dating myself)
I'm kind of set on drums 'for now' with Hadeeth I & II and Wizoo Darbuka, plus plenty of samples from friends. Could always use more, but I'm extremely interested in usable samples of mizmar, oud, ney, kanun, etc.
Anyone with any input? I'm considering the following:
- MOTU Ethno Instrument
- Sibelius Sounds: World Music
- East West Quantum Leap RA
- Orient World
- Ethno World 3
All are varying in price. Some include loops, most include drums.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Re: VST Synth/sampler recommendation
Wed, February 6, 2008 - 11:36 AMhey Jim,
DJ Rowan from Bellyfit in Victoria
whom I work with on Tribal has
the Motu Ethno and it is amazing,
light years beyond Darbuka, which
he also has, I have orient world and
it's ok, but I usually just do my own
from scratch as I don't care if it
sounds "authentic", you could
go to my friend list and look up
Rowan to ask him about the
motu as he is quite good with it... -
