Ethera EVI consists of four main instruments

  • Ethera EVI Vocal True Legato Instrument
  • Ethera EVI Vocal Phrases Instrument
  • Ethera EVI Vocal Builder
  • Ethera EVI Synth

Installation

ETHERA EVI requires the FULL version of Kontakt 5.7.3 or higher – it will not work with the free Kontakt Player. Make sure you have the full text of Kontakt and do a batch re-save before using the library. You receive more than of 18GB of samples in Kontakt overall.

Sound

Ethera EVI is an extensive collection of high sounding vocals, Arps, Drums, Keys, Pads, Seq, and 1GB of electronic drum loops. There is also an additional acoustic 1928 piano felt included.

There are different vocal instruments included, the vocal correct legato version is based layers of sound and joined the club of libraries that offer authentic legato Vocal instruments. The second vocal library contains more than 1000 Vocal Phrases.

So far the name or let’s call it brand Ethera did stand for outstanding vocal performances. The sound is overall exceptional excellent; the UI lacks what could be done these days with Kontakt. When you start using the library, you do see that beyond the vocals you receive an extensive NKI amount of different synths, keyboards, and drum/percussion are incorporated. There are also a large variety of electro dum samples included.

User interface & Usability

I want to point out that this library supports Roli Seaboard (Synth Legato Glide & Mono Aftertouch) and comes with 800 presets to get you started. The UI is ok and almost up to the current standards. For details on how to use the library take a look at the manual. The Vocal Builder is not up to the present standard that you see from other developers when it comes to building phrases.

Rating:  Four out of five stars

Ethera EVI is an excellent collection of tone, instruments, and sounds to compose to picture. The four stars score is because of it’s essential and could be an enhanced interface that is lacking behind especially when it comes to the Vocal Builder feature. The content is top notch as the other Ethera instrument libraries that have been launched in the past.

Loops are an important part of music production, and the way they are tuned can have a big impact on the sound. There are two main ways to tune loops: using the tune key switches or tuning individual slices using the tune tab. The tune key switches method is quick and easy, but it can be difficult to get the sound just right.

Sahara Desert

Did you know that the Sahara Desert is the largest hot desert in the world? And that it’s also the third-largest desert after Antarctica and the Arctic? The Sahara desert covers most of North Africa, and it’s estimated to be around 9 million square kilometers! That’s an area larger than China or the United States!

The Sahara desert is home to a variety of animals and plants, including the addax, which is a type of antelope; the Barbary sheep; the fennec fox; and the dromedary camel. And did you know that there are actually people who live in the Sahara desert?

The Tuareg people have lived there for centuries, and they’ve adapted to the harsh conditions by wearing long robes and veils to protect themselves from the heat and sand. So when you’re listening to the Sahara Beats library, think about all of the amazing things that are happening in this vast and fascinating place.

Tuning individual slices using the tune tab is more time-consuming, but it gives you more control over the sound. In addition to tuning, you can also change the style and variation of a loop with key switches.

The ‘feel’ menu provides five extra ‘feels’ to the original loop, and the speed menu enables half/double-speed playback. By experimenting with these options, you can create loops that are uniquely your own.

The ability to replace, tune, reverse, stretch, and pan each slice gives you a lot of control over the sound of your beats. And the Loops are synced to the host tempo so you can get perfect timing every time. You can also drag the sequence of slices into your DAW as a MIDI file, which is a great way to add some extra spice to your tracks.

So whether you’re looking for something simple to get started with or something more advanced to take your beats to the next level, Sahara Beats is definitely worth checking out.
