What is Pacha Ethnic Orchestra?

Pacha Ethnic Orchestra is the result of a collaboration between Strezov Sampling and Alejandro Fatur — a renowned multi-instrumentalist, composer, performer, and producer from Bariloche, Patagonia — to ensure authentic representation and the highest quality throughout the recording process. An expert in Andean and Patagonian folk music, Fatur brings a rich collection of traditional plucked, woodwind, and percussive instruments, all performed with deep proficiency. His work is rooted in expressive studio recordings, where he layers guitars, flutes, charangos, sikus, antaras, and more.

What is Kontakt?

Kontakt is the industry-standard sampling platform used by the world’s top producers and composers. It acts as a "host" for thousands of different virtual instruments – from hyper-realistic orchestral libraries and rare vintage synths to modern pop keys. You can use Kontakt as a standalone application or as a plugin within your DAW to play, edit, and layer these sounds into your tracks.
If you’re just looking to play Kontakt instruments, Kontakt Player is the free version that runs all NI Kontakt instruments, plus loads from third-party developers.

Is Pacha Ethnic Orchestra a VST instrument?

Technically, no, it’s a Kontakt instrument.
However, it functions just like a VST instrument in your DAW.
While musicians and producers often use "VST" as a catch-all term for any virtual instrument, Pacha Ethnic Orchestra is formatted specifically as a Kontakt library (.nki). To use it, you simply load Pacha Ethnic Orchestra inside Kontakt or the free Kontakt Player. Since Kontakt itself runs as a VST3, AU, or AAX plugin inside your DAW, the end result is identical: you open it, play it, and automate it just like any traditional VST.
