Программное обеспечение M-AUDIO Wizoo Darbuka. Инструкция на английском языке

Welcome to Darbuka
The overwhelming success of our ?rst virtual musician - the Virtual Guitarist – proved that there’s a huge   English
demand for intelligent music tools that put you in the producers’ rather than the musicians’ chair; tools that
produce professional, authentic tracks based on real performances from skilled musicians. Why waste a lot of
time trying to imitate a Darbuka player with a MIDI track and some multisamples? Why not just hire the best
guys for the job?
Thanks  to  the  proprietary  FlexGroove  engine  Wizoo’s  Virtual  percussionists  deliver  nothing  less  than  real
performances recorded by real musicians, with you in full control. Everything from the groove, the arrangement,
the timing and the tempo to the mix is in your hands, ready to make your song special.
The grooves of “Darbuka” were performed by Suat Borazan and Mohamed Zaki, two of the best Middle-
Eastern percussion players in the world and de?nitely big stars in their countries. Whether you’re into Middle-
Eastern music or just want to add the ?avor to your tracks – these guys deliver with cultural credibility and
musical performances like nothing that was affordable for any of us – in the pre-Darbuka era that is.
Best regards,
