Garritan World Instruments presents an extensive collection of over 350 ethnically diverse instruments sourced from across the globe. This library captures the rich musical heritage of various cultures, featuring instruments from Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, North and Latin America, as well as Oceania and Australia. Each instrument is individually sampled to provide authentic sounds, allowing musicians and producers to explore new musical landscapes and incorporate exotic textures into their compositions.

The collection is powered by the ARIA Advanced Instrument Player, which ensures efficient performance with fast loading times and minimal CPU usage. Compatible with both Mac and Windows systems, it functions as a standalone program or as a plugin supporting VST, Audio Units, and RTAS formats. Users can easily access a range of ensemble presets including traditional orchestras, drumming circles, and various folk groups, or create custom groupings tailored to their creative needs through the intuitive Ensemble Manager.

Designed for expressive playability, Garritan World Instruments offers a variety of controls such as dynamics, vibrato, tremolos, and legato, enhancing the realism of each sampled instrument. The library also supports Scala tuning files, enabling musicians to perform using authentic regional scales and temperaments. This flexibility, combined with standardized and user-friendly controls, makes it an ideal tool for anyone seeking to add genuine world sounds with detailed expression to their productions.
