The story of the Ultrasonic Death Whistle
A mysterious and unexplained instrument, Ultrasonic Death Whistle encompasses the sounds of pre-Columbian death whilstles. Of uncertain origin and purpose, the Ultrasonic Death Whistle includes 13 uniquely designed instruments, each carrying a different tone and timbre, though all share similar qualities: haunting, spine-chilling and ghostly. Create the atmosphere that builds tension before unleashing a howling war cry with the Ultrasonic Death Whistle by MNTRA Instruments.
Industry-leading audio
Captured using bespoke recording techniques, every instrument in the Ultrasonic Death Whistle library boasts unrivalled audio quality, recorded at 384kH/32-bit fidelity. Striving for a performance-oriented instrument, MNTRA Instruments recorded 13 individual instruments, each with three deeply-sampled velocity layers comprising 14 round robins each.
Bespoke MNDALA 2 playback engine
Built for the future, this advanced sampler engine comes with an array of advanced sound-shaping tools to bring your dream sound to life - all without the need for additional software. Compatible with any DAW that supports VST3 and AU formats, you can load the Ultrasonic Death Whistle and explore your creative potential to fit the requirements of your project.
Born out of years of research and development, MNDALA 2 is capable of reproducing extremely high audio quality of 24-bit at 96kHz, making it possible to edit, customise and playback the Ultrasonic Death Whistle instrument without compromising quality.
MNDALA 2 has six fully-featured samplers that let you load individual instruments with independent processing. With 35 different onboard effects, including reverb, delay, modulation, filters, saturation, and EQs, you can craft and customize your sound like a pro. Moreover, every instrument has been recorded in a multi-microphone setup, enabling you to tailor the spatial positioning per sampler to create a completely bespoke mix.
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.
A new kind of instrument
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.
