World Music

High-quality samples of indigenous instruments from around the world

World Music from Sibelius is an exciting range of samples of indigenous instruments from around the world.

The collection, which integrates seamlessly with Sibelius 5, provides over 200 sounds, including a huge range of Cuban percussion and a Taiko drum ensemble. The high-quality samples provide stunningly realistic playback of music in a wide variety of styles. A host of adjustable settings are available through Native Instruments’ Kontakt Player 2, which is included with Sibelius 5, so you can get just the sound you’re looking for. You can even export an audio file to create a CD of your music, or convert to an MP3 file.
