Collection of Strings, Winds, and Percussion instruments from around the globe.

Old World Instruments is a collection of Strings, Winds, and Percussion instruments from the far flung four corners of the globe! Unique and exotic, these sounds will add a special 'spice' to any composition!

Each bank features instruments in their pure form along with many 'other worldly' variations. The sound designers at ESC have taken care to accurately reproduce these instruments with great attention to the fine details. All samples retain as much of the natural decay as possible to give you the most control over your sounds. In addition, string and percussion instruments are sampled at multiple velocities which allows the user a whole new level of control over all aspects of performance.

As an added bonus there is a special 'Best Of' bank of sounds from the legendary PROTEUS 3 WORLD module. The original Proteus series of sound modules are considered true 'classics' in the industry leading the way to countless number 1 hits over the years. Many professional studios around the world still rely on the sound of these industry workhorses. Now you can have access to these vintage world sounds to Empower your compositions.

The ESC crew has optimized each sound bank to fully take advantage of the powerful synth engine of the Emulator X & Proteus X Desktop Instruments. Each preset is mapped to the MIDI real-time controllers for enhanced expression.

All the realtime programming in ESC soundsets match up perfectly with the Xboard 25 & Xboard 49 Professional USB/Midi controllers.
