The samples themselves cover a range of 'world' instruments, drawn from six major regions - Africa, the Americas and Australia, Europe, the Far East, India, and the Middle East & Turkish Empire (presumably the former Ottoman one).
Like a number of the newer breed of sample libraries, Ra is going to keep hard-drive manufacturers happy at 14GB in size, it is supplied on four DVD-ROMs. This offers some copy protection to the producers of the library, as on-line registration is required via the Native Instruments web site, but unfortunately, it does prevent users from running different sample-playback software.

However, it is worth recalling that the samples can only be accessed via the supplied version of Kompakt (or via the full version of one of NI's software samplers). This is identical to the version of Kompakt included with the Colossus and Vapor libraries I looked at in February and July's SOS, so there is little need to repeat the details of the front end itself. The library producers thought this would be a suitable title for an ambitious collection of rare and ethnic instruments from around the globe.Īs shown by the screenshots throughout this article, like a number of other recent products from both East West/Quantum Leap and Zero G, Ra uses a custom version of Native Instruments' Kompakt as the software sample-playback front end.

For those that don't recall their ancient Egyptian mythology, Ra was regarded as the creator of everything, and the god of the sun (don't worry, I couldn't remember that either - but it's all explained in the excellent PDF manual which also gives some background on the instruments in this collection). The latest collaboration between East West and Quantum Leap is the Ra virtual instrument.
