{"product_id":"oro","title":"Oro","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAn alchemical transformation of metal instruments from Colombia\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOro is a celebration of the transformative journeys of musical instruments through many different contexts and genres. The second instalment in our location-based Portals series, Oro is the result of a creative exploration of the place that half of the MNTRA Team calls home: Bogotá, Colombia. The legend of El Dorado has long been told about the territory of Abya Yala (the Indigenous Kuna-language name for present-day Colombia and Panama), but this coveted kingdom of noble metals was far more than anyone could have imagined. This instrument is a reinterpretation of the meaning of noble metals in Colombia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany brass instruments arrived in Colombia via the Caribbean, were transformed, and became ubiquitous across many genres throughout the country. Now, as traditional rhythms are being reinterpreted in modern pop and dance music, instruments from neighbouring countries and musical traditions have also taken on the roles of more traditional Colombian instruments. Within Oro, we present a deep collection of metal percussion, modern valved brass instruments and an architecturally renowned organ, along with analogue and digitally processed versions of these source samples and immersive natural ambiences. With this inspiring set of metal instruments and the transformative power of our acoustic synthesis engine, MNDALA 2, we offer you the next generation of tools for transmuting these musical traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginating from the military band tradition, brass instruments now play a central role in styles such as Chirimía from the northern Pacific region, Porro and Fandango in the Magdalena River basin, and in Salsa, a genre that found a cradle in the western part of the Andes. This intersects with the history of church organs on the continent, whose repertoire was first performed by brass ensembles before organs became available locally. The collected sounds within Oro have been expertly played by local artists, performing musical styles from across the country. Each musician brought their unique perspectives, incorporating favourite techniques, arrangements, rhythms and sounds to create the distinctive fusion of Oro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe present to you Oro, our token for a land where the music is as diverse as the natural landscape (or perhaps because of it!). We have lovingly crafted it as a revisionist take on the legend of the golden kingdom: not a mythical land of riches to be exploited, but a dynamic, constantly changing and generous hub for creativity and diversity. Oro is our invitation to continue creating and transforming music and tradition, rooted in the respect we extend to those who invest time in learning and sharing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSystem Requirements\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating System: Windows 10 or later\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcessor: Intel Core i5 or equivalent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRAM: 8 GB or more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard Disk Space: 2 GB free disk space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio Interface: ASIO compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 2em; padding-top: 2em; border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 1em; color: #333; font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style: disc; padding-left: 1.5em; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 0.4em 0; color: #555;\"\u003e170+ Presets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 0.4em 0; color: #555;\"\u003e84 Instrument Sample Maps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 0.4em 0; color: #555;\"\u003e7 Soundscapes Sample maps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 0.4em 0; color: #555;\"\u003eUp to 11 Round Robins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 2em; padding-top: 2em; border-top: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 1em; color: #333; font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eSystem Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 1em; background-color: #f9f9f9; border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin: 0 0 0.75em 0; color: #333; font-size: 1.05em; font-weight: 600;\"\u003emacOS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; gap: 0.5em;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #555;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #333;\"\u003eOS:\u003c\/strong\u003e macOS\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #555;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #333;\"\u003eRAM:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 GB\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #555;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #333;\"\u003eDisk:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 GB\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #555;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #333;\"\u003ePlugin Formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e VST-3, AU, AAX\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #555;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #333;\"\u003eAdditional Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engine\n- Hassle-free copy protection: simply install, and the instrument is uniquely encrypted for use on your system\n- Seamless downloads, updates, and installation within MNDALA 2\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #555;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #333;\"\u003eInternet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Required\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 1.5em; padding: 1em; background-color: #f9f9f9; border-radius: 4px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin: 0 0 0.75em 0; color: #333; font-size: 1.05em; font-weight: 600;\"\u003eWindows\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; gap: 0.5em;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #555;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #333;\"\u003eOS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Windows\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #555;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #333;\"\u003eRAM:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 GB\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #555;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #333;\"\u003eDisk:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 GB\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #555;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #333;\"\u003ePlugin Formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e VST-3, AAX\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #555;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #333;\"\u003eAdditional Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engine\n- Hassle-free copy protection: simply install, and the instrument is uniquely encrypted for use on your system\n- Seamless downloads, updates, and installation within MNDALA 2\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color: #555;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #333;\"\u003eInternet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Required\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1468","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54096893083971,"sku":"XCH-1436-1016","price":36.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/4090\/7587\/files\/750-475-002_title.jpg?v=1774876495","url":"https:\/\/www.soundstorexl.com\/products\/oro","provider":"SoundStoreXL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
