NAMM 2023: Mntra Instruments - MNDALA 2 Player - Arca - Atma

At NAMM 2023, Sonic State met with Brian and Noah from Mntra Instruments to discuss MDALA 2 and the suite of instruments it controls. MDLA 2 is an audio engine that uses ultrasonically sampled sound, based on the principle of game audio, where everything is reactive based on complex real-time parameter controls. One control can quickly lead to a lot of expression, which would normally take many passes of automation to happen.

MNDALA 2, which is free to download, is needed to use their instruments, such as Atma, which is based on sacred sounds like sampled bells and all kinds of instruments from all over the world. Arca is their strings library, and they currently have eleven different instruments available on their website, two of which are free to use. 

MNDALA 2 Price: Free

Mntra Instruments Price: 59 USD - 149 USD
