Key Features
The MNTRA Instruments Arca offers a wide range of dark and ancient string textures, shrouded in mystery. Captured at Montreal RCA Victor Studios, Arca includes a wide range of acoustic strings from cello, kemenche to the Morin Khuur along with synth-processed string tones. Spanning over 85 presets, both synthesized string and acoustic string tones have been creatively processed to create a variety of dystopian clusters, dark textures and ethereal sounds. The intuitive animated 3-axis controls make it effortless to map with your favourite controller, while the powerful MNDALA 2 engine gives you access to industry-leading audio quality.
It's easy to take advantage of the Suite's extended ultrasonic range sample sources with no additional software required - all that's needed is the VST/AU plugin included with the suite. From budding musicians to seasoned professionals, Arca is perfect for adding an extra layer of depth and atmosphere to any production.
Intricately performed by composer Brian D'Oliveira, these instruments are then further processed using a bespoke extreme-quality recording method for added depth and complexity. With Arca you can explore countless sonic pathways of dynamic sound design that embrace expressive (im)perfections from the natural world around us.

MNTRA Instruments Arca offers an escape into a world of interdimensional string textures, allowing you to explore the dark side of soundscapes with its 85 presets, 35 sample maps and intuitive 3-axis controls. Powered by the MNDALA 2 Sound Design Engine, this exciting plugin brings the eerie and the ethereal to your fingertips.
Each preset is a unique performable instrument, and you can easily customise them all with the single mapping of your favourite controller. Map any three parameters for real-time performance to create dynamic and evolving sounds perfectly matched to your mix. The intuitive performance GUI also features custom animation and interactive mouse hover actions for an even smoother experience.
Capture the subtleties and imperfections of human performance with Arca's industry-leading audio quality. MNTRA Arca's proprietary 384kHz/32-bit extended ultrasonic range sample sources ensure that every note of your performance is faithfully reproduced.
MNDALA Arca's powerful non-linear sound design environment allows you to create your own soundscapes with ease. Inspired by natural phenomena and ancient knowledge, this is the perfect tool to craft unique and expressive instruments.
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.
