    The Rhythms of the World is a great idea, but I happened to own a West Africa and Middle East product from a different vendor. It would be great if the Rhythms of the World were available as individual products. I would have purchased Brazil right away. Hopefully, in the near future, you'll consider making them into individual products.

    Hi Mr Mustafa,

    No plans for splitting up those recordings into individual packs. But feel free to try the library with a free demo licenses to make an informed decision!

    Best, Andreas

    A question on this new product. Synchron Percussion already includes a number of the Brazilian instruments which this new library features. Have all these been recorded once more for this new product or if not is there a rebate system in place for those who bought the full Synchron Percussion package I-III?

    Hi, Mavros! The egg shaker is from SY Perc I (complete instrument), and two more instruments are featured in SY Perc III (reduced Instruments). Since these are only fractions of the sample content, there is no crossgrade pricing between those products. But if you are interested, you can always try with a demo license before deciding.

    One more question as I am creating the percussion maps for Dorico for the instruments. You use the instrument name Brazilian Snare Drum in the Brazilian list. Is this what is often called a Caixa or is it another snare drum variant?

    By the way it is convenient that Percussion Mapping (PM) for this instrument is the same for identical techniques as for the snare drums in SY Percussion but there are significantly less techniques. So for World Percussion it requires an additional user added instrument (e.g. Caixa) in Dorico with its technique definition and PM based on the SY Perc - Snare PM and its instrument definition with some deletions.
