Taking inspiration from the Mayan Gods of the mountains, Caprakan injects Earthy, cinematic and dark sounds into your productions. This instrument blurs the lines between traditional Central and South American ancient music and modern synthesis techniques, creating a mysterious and ominous soundscape that's the perfect match for contemporary cinematic textures, location-specific film and TV shows and game sound design.
Not limited to any one 'style' of sound, with the myriad of different wind, percussion and hybrid instruments, Caprakan offers an extended range of musical expression, from rhythmic elements, harmonious and melodic lead lines, ambient textures and more. The selection of specifically-chosen instruments lends itself to empyrical musical themes, whether laying the foundation for top melodies with the Mayan Horns, creating a marching walking beat with the Giant Teponaztlis or entering through mythical gates with the Arco del Duende, Caprakan makes it possible.
Boasting bespoke recording methods, every instrument found in Caprakan delivers industry-leading audio quality. Using proprietary recording techniques, MNTRA Instruments have captured ultrasonic audio quality up to 384kHz/32-bit recording fidelity. Comprised of 50 individually recorded instruments, each with three deeply-sampled velocity layers with up to 18 round robins each, you have a plethora of different sounds to explore. And with 100+ onboard presets, you can explore the full range of sounds with ease!
The MNDALA 2 engine from MNTRA Instruments is a groundbreaking multi-dimensional audio engine designed for the future. This bespoke playback engine features an abundance of sound-shaping tools and controls to enable you to create the Caprakan of your dreams with no additional software required. MNDALA 2 runs on any DAW that can host VST3 and AU plugins.
Years of research and development in reproducing high-definition audio have gone into building MNDALA 2 to recreate ultrasonic samples in an unprecedented performance-ready format. Each of the 50 carefully selected wind and percussion instruments have been deeply sampled and features a significant dynamic range with 18 round robins and three dynamic layers. Plus, MNDALA 2 has a fidelity of up to 24-bit and 96kHz, making it possible to manipulate, pitch and tune your sounds without compromising quality.
MNDALA 2 features six fully-featured samplers enabling you to load individual instruments with independent processing and with onboard effects slots, you can shape your sound with 35 different effects, such as reverb, delay, saturation, modulation, filters, and EQs. Additionally, each instrument has been recorded in a multi-microphone setup, and you can adjust the spatial positioning per sampler for customized mixes.
The global modulators, custom modular effects routing, and complex sequencing per sampler offer a near-infinite amount of customization and automation for your sound over time. The three Axis-animated performance controls condensed into one compact interface allow you to take control of up to 62 parameters simultaneously when mapped to your favourite controller - all with effortless hands-on control.
Striving to create unique instruments which stand out from the crowd, MNTRA don't simply create cut-and-paste sample libraries but instead lets you transform what you think is possible with traditional musical instruments. Rather than creating true-to-life replicas of existing sounds, MNTRA Instruments ventures off the beaten path, letting you experiment with sound design inspired by the natural world. Embracing the imperfections of musical instruments, you can record performances full of dynamism and ever-evolving sounds which move with every turn of a knob or lift of a fader.
