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.

Sliced Loops
Sometimes you want to play the entire loop, but other times you want access to each individual beat slice.
Loops are different than phrases because they can be instantly divided into individual slices with a single click of the 'Map' button, allowing you to play each individual slice from your MIDI keyboard, drum pad or other MIDI controller.
Below is the same djembe loop from the previous page, with the Map button engaged. That's right, it takes just one click to have access to each individual beat slice in the loop:
Again, we're using DP5's MIDI Keys window for these examples so you can see the relationship between what you are hearing and what you would play on your MIDI keyboard, drum pad or other MIDI controller.
