Ancient World: Instruments of Antiquity is described as a journey through time — an exciting journey to the origins of musical sound, in which all of the most important instruments of antiquity have been extensively sampled for the first time ever. The provenance is what makes the library possible: master luthier Nikolaos Brass' collection of ancient Greek instruments forms the basis of Ancient World. Brass dedicated his life to the research and re-creation of ancient musical instruments, using the same methods and materials which were used in ages past. Some of the instruments, such as the Syntonon and Copperphone, are extremely rare with only two or three existing worldwide. Its contents are documented: nearly 4 GB of content, 32 multi-sampled instruments — eleven string instruments, eight wind instruments, and thirteen percussion instruments — 146 unique patches, and over 400 looped and tempo-syncing performances, with a user-friendly interface and NKS compatibility. Performance techniques were captured thoroughly: the string instruments have articulations such as plucked, with and without vibrato, harmonics, plectrum, tremolo, arpeggios, glissandos, behind the [bridge] and more, and all of the performance techniques have been meticulously sampled. Named instruments include the Lyra, Ney, Copperphone, and Syntonon. A reviewer described it as a truly unique collection of sampled wind, strings, and percussion from Greek and Medieval times that doubles as a history lesson.
