The Zourna VSTi
The Zourna VSTi brings the powerful, raw sound of the traditional Middle Eastern and Balkan wind instrument straight into your DAW, with a modern twist: quarter-tone tuning support. This virtual instrument captures the piercing, emotional character of the real zourna, known for its use in folk, ceremonial, and festival music across regions like Turkey, Greece, Armenia, and North Africa. What makes this VSTi especially versatile is its ability to adapt to microtonal and maqam-based music systems, thanks to its quarter-tone adjustment features.
Whether you’re composing traditional ethnic music, experimenting with world fusion, or scoring film and game soundtracks with a regional flavor, the Zourna VSTi delivers an authentic sonic experience. The interface is typically clean and intuitive, allowing for real-time performance and scale customization without slowing down your workflow.
With its sharp attack, reedy timbre, and cultural richness, this plugin is perfect for producers looking to move beyond the standard Western 12-tone scale and explore more expressive, regional tunings. If you’re aiming to add bold, folkloric energy to your music, a quarter-tone capable Zourna VSTi is an essential and inspiring tool.
