Our friends at UVI have released World Suite - A new world music sample library that includes a massive 320 instrument pack and 8,000 loop & phrase library inspired by traditional music from around the world. We're big fans of UVI instruments at Pro Tools Expert, this looks to be a very exciting and creative instrument set - stay tuned for a Pro Tools Expert video review of World Suite in the coming weeks.
What Is UVI World Suite?
World Suite by UVI appears to be the definitive VI collection of world instruments. It includes over 320 instruments and 8,000 loops/phrases providing users with quick access to thousands of years of ethnic tradition and musical heritage. World Suite compares very closely to UVI's Orchestral Suite as both have very similar creative control features. World Suite works in both the free UVI workstation and UVI Falcon.
