Hi, has anyone used the uvi world suite or can recommend any compparible reason refills with similar quality? I'm looking for authentic sounds from around the world as instruments not just percussion. Played loops are a bonus but not required.
thanks,

Ethno World from Bestservice is more expansive than the UVI library

Came here looking for any thoughts on UVI World Suite .. I'm guessing no one has anything further to add?

It's on sale again for $179 and I am tossing up between this, and EastWest RA. Or perhaps I should look into 1 or 2 dedicated sample packs for percussion, stringed instruments and flutes, particularly African and South American.

I'm not really looking to recreate these instruments in a perfectly realistic way, just want to add some acoustic world sounds to my electronic tracks. I grabbed the World Booster Pack posted above but wasn't that impressed (but at $29 it's not bad).

I wouldn't recommend EastWest RA for use with Reason, until either EastWest fixes their Play engine to not break during non-realtime bouncing or exporting ("offline bounce"), or Propellerhead adds a realtime bounce option to Reason. Neither is probably likely to change anytime soon.

I don't own World Suite, but UVI Workstation works pretty well with Reason in my experience.

Ahh thanks. Actually I forgot about the Play engine thing with offline bounces. Hmm maybe that's a good reason to look elsewhere. Cheers.

I got World Suite a while back for a really good price - even less than the current sale, I believe. It's got a lot of content and I've actually used some of the instruments for paid work. That said, I'm not sure it's such a good deal at the current sale price. The samples are good, but a lot of them are, how shall I say... unspectacular. At the current price, I would expect something with a little more organic character. Overall, I'd give World Suite a B+. It's biggest strength is the wide variety of instruments represented, and the UVI player is very easy to work with.

Incidentally, I got Komplete 12 recently, and am really happy with the Discovery series of world instruments that's included (India, MidEast, West Africa). World Suite has far more global variety to its instruments, but all the Discovery sounds are superb, although the majority are percussion instruments.

Hmm thanks for the input. I'll have a look at the Discovery Series (probably just as Kontact libraries to use with the free player) as the full Komplete 12 is well out of my budget ;)
