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.

Phrases
Phrases effectively convey the authenticity and unique character of an instrument or voice by capturing the playing technique or singing style of the original musician.
By recording the performance characteristics, along with the instrument sound itself, it's as if you have the original musician at your fingertips. Phrases differ from loops in that they typically wouldn't be played continuously. In fact, you might find that the most effective use of phrases is to play them only once or twice during your composition, to give it that little bit of extra intrigue and depth.
You'll find a wide variety of phrases in the Ethno Instrument, from guitar riffs to vocal phrases to instrument flourishes. Here are just a few examples:
