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
Demo Movies
These videos show the MOTU Ethno Instrument being performed live by Jordan Rudess, keyboardist for Dream Theater. For each presentation, Jordan has loaded Ethno Instrument presets and loops into multiple parts and then used Expert Mode to dynamically add, remove, layer and crossfade instruments on the fly using the mod wheel, foot pedal and key switching at the very bottom of the keyboard.
SPECIAL DOWNLOAD BONUS: you can download the Ethno multis that Jordan constructed and used in these movies here. Load them into your copy of the Ethno Instrument and play the same instruments and loops that Jordan plays in each video. Note: you must own a copy of the Ethno Instrument to play these multis.
