Motu's Ethno Instrument inside Maschine?
Motu's Ethno Instrument inside Maschine?
Just bought Maschine recently, and I'm contemplating laying down for Ethno Instrument. Right now, I'm preferring to run Maschine standalone and was wondering if anyone here is using Ethno Inst. successfully inside Maschine standalone. Any issues? Running great?
Re: Motu's Ethno Instrument inside Maschine?
Def research Ethno inside Maschine more before purchase...
Ethno has been an issue for me since day 1. Great Sounds.. slow GUI and load times (like twice as long as Omnisphere). CPU hog too (again.. twice that of Omni).
Send a query to support at Motu specifically about the version of Ethno you are thinking about purchasing. Version 1 & 2 are different beasts.
1 is not intel or OSX 5+ compatible (Afaik). I need to use the UVI workstation (free) to access the soundbanks. Same engine as Ethno (same fx and slice capacity too). But def a workaround. just loading an instance of Ethno 1 will crash my Live.
Try the UVI workstation free to see how that works as a prelude. If it doesnt.. no way would Ethno 1 or 2 work at all.
Overall... Ethno has great sounds.. but everything else about it is debatable.

I'll definitely do so. I'm thinking of getting Ethno 2. I'll give the UVI workstation a look. Thanks for the info!

Ethno World 5 would be preferable, runs in Kontakt so should have no compability problems and the sounds are amazing.Lazos wrote:I'll definitely do so. I'm thinking of getting Ethno 2. I'll give the UVI workstation a look. Thanks for the info!

Ethno World 5 is a fair bit more expensive, though, but thanks. Also, I like that Ethno Inst 2 has microtuning in Scala format, which is easily editable via text edit. Even Quantum Leap Ra or Silk doesn't have user edibility like that for its microtuning. I need to be much more specific than "Arabic 1" or "Turkish 2"
