Ethnic Music Chopz 2 is a great addition to any sound library.  The package includes over 840 one shot wav files as well as presets in .sf2 (sound font), .sxt (NN-XT), .fxp, .kit, and .nxi, so they are ready to be loaded into virtually any sampler.  There are 10 different unusual world instruments including Arabian Rababah, Balinese Gobijen, Turkish Cumbus, Moroccan Gimbri, Greek Bouzouki, Arabian Mizmar, Aztec Slit-drum, Japanese Koto, Egyptian Ney, and African Udu.  There are 4 presents for each one, and they are in different common keys and tempos to make it easier to blend into any music with minimal effort. 

Since the loops and riffs are already sliced up, and laid out across the keyboards, it lends itself to endless entertainment in a construction kit.  These one shot stabs and samples are perfect for making hip hop, pop, drum and bass, dubstep, downtempo, psybient, world music, trance etc.  Just lay any kind of modern or old school beat on it, and poof!  It’s like magic.  Do you want to sound like the pros?  Then you will need some high quality sounds that add texture, and give your music more depth.  It’s important to put samples in your music that make it stand out, spice it up, and make things interesting.  This sample pack will do just that. 

Real world sounds like these are next to impossible with regular synths.  Sometimes you need the real thing to bring it to the next level, and  I am very happy with this collection of rare instrument samples from around the globe. You can tell they really put a lot of time and energy into finding and recording this collection.  It’s sure to get your creative juices flowing. This set of patches has exotic flutes, horns, percussion, and string samples that I didn’t even know I needed. It made me wonder what I ever did without these sounds.  These one shots are ideal for creating interesting patterns that sound in and out of this world.

This review was written by me, DJ Story.  I made a little downtempo track while testing out the product.  I used Reason and Ableton Live. All the sounds used were from the Ethnic Music Chopz 2 package except for the hip hop beat and effects like reverb, delay, and compression. No animals were harmed in the making of this beat.
