In all of these videos, Jordan employs Ethno's built-in mixing features to enhance the mix. For example, at the beginning of this video, notice that the percussion instruments sit wide left and right, while the vocal phrase is just to the right of center. As Jordan brings in more instruments, they blend coherently more towards the center of the mix. By the time everything is in full swing, good balance and spread is maintained overall. All of this is achieved using Ethno's built-in pan, volume, EQ and synth engine features. You can also employ multiple separate outputs to further manage Ethno's multiple instruments within the mixing environment of your host software or hardware mixer.

Ethno Instrument - Universal world/ethnic instrument
Loops
In addition to 4GB of world/ethnic instruments, the Ethno Instrument provides over 6,000 loops and phrases.
Ethno Instrument loops are typically several bars long and include one or more related instruments played in stylistically authentic fashion. Loops are different from phrases because they are designed to play as a loop (over and over, seamlessly). Phrases, on the other hand, would usually be played one at a time, such as a vocal phrase.
Browsing loops and phrases
The number and variety of loops and phrases is, again, staggering. But Ethno's elegant browser makes it quick an easy to find the sound you are looking for.
Loop example
Play the movie below to hear an example of a loop. In this example, the loop is being triggered via DP5's MIDI Keys window by holding down the 'a' key, although you could also use Ethno's Latch mode to just tap the 'a' key to play the loop indefinitely until you tap the 'a' key again.
