Hi everyone! We just released a new walkthrough video that goes through the basics of our engine, MNDALA 2. Check it out:
@MNTRA Instruments FYI, the info pane on the mntra engine still says the latest version is 2.1.1. Also, you have some rogue <p> tags in there at the end.
Also, there's still an issue with the graphics (m1 mac monterey, logic). It looks like some layers have a transparency and/or stroke issue. See here;
Compare that to how it looks in your demos;

Probably a good idea to report these issues in a support ticket so that they can be tracked and dealt with properly.
They don't have a ticketing system, just an email. Also, I've sent probably two dozen emails by this point from previous issues, so sometimes I like to mix it up a bit
It's also helpful for archiving purposes so other users to see any possible solutions.

For support requests you can either contact us at [email protected] (which automatically creates a ticket on our side) or create a ticket through the chat box on our site. This way our developers can keep track of issues along with your system specs and work to fix them! We try to be on top of issues reported here and on other forums, but its easy for them to slip through the cracks if not tracked in our system.

If you've purchased individual libraries, will that cost get factored into and deducted from the 'Everything Bundle' price?
I haven't been able to figure this out from logging into my MNTRA account.

You have to email them and they'll send you a code.

Thanks, @Bee_Abney! I recently discovered MNTRA and MNDALA and I'm enjoying it thus far. Really interesting UI! Do you know if libraries are transferrable?

I don't know first-hand, but I have read that they are not transferable; however, I'm sure I've also see some for sale on Knobcloud. So it may be a case where special permission is needed.
I've been using Mndala libraries for a while now. In order to get the high quality with sounds with a limited number of samples, the samples are not only recorded at 192 kHz, but are also stored in the library at that frequency. That, the great sound design, and the lovely GUIs are the big attractions for me. Well, that and how easy and enjoyable it is to get movement in the sounds, both automated and performed. I did have some occasional technical problems, but it is still a pretty new platform, and I was on an old computer using Studio One. Plus, the one time I contacted them about an issue they fixed it inside of two days and sent me a beta version with the fix.
I don't have the latest update yet, but the one area where they could make a very considerable improvement is if they enabled you to mix samples from different libraries in the same patches.

@Bee_Abney As always, thank you for the wonderful insight into the product and the ecosystem. I was a little taken aback that MNDALA has been out for as long as it has and I just discovered it about a week ago!
The ability to mix samples from different libraries in the same patches would be an awesome boon!
I have definitely enjoyed the simplicity of using their interface and the high-quality nature of the samples.
Between MNDALA, Cube, and Soundpaint, these are halcyon days, for certain!

So far, I've checked out Klavir, Rasa, and Pripyat. I'm close to pulling the trigger on Galactron.
Is there any particular reason why Rasa cuts off at C3? Is there any way to adjust the mapping outside of shifting the octave on the midi controller itself?
Sorry for all of the MNDALA newbie Q's!

I agree. In the case of Orakle X, which is also a more expensive library, the extra benefits are worth it. But I don't have Caprakan or Galactron yet.Enjoying everything here, but Caprakan & latest - Galactron. Adding Galactron shortly.
Caprakan cost is definite hurdle ... compararively speaking.

The instruments do have limited key ranges, but I can't remember a patch that only goes down to C3. It may be possible to alter that in the new version of the player, or it may be something that is fixed by the choice of samples (that is, some were judged to sound best at certain pitches - like a high flute).
I asked about this a few years ago. Got this reply back;

I think the dog must have eaten the update list.

I think that there may be financial reasons for wanting to keep flexibility under the control of the developer. Although that may be a bit cynical; or ignorant.I asked about this a few years ago. Got this reply back;
Aaaah that is a good suggestion! I am going to add it to the top of our updates list

I think it might be more of a technical/architectural problem. The instruments are isolated from each other so an instrument can only see its own samples. But I think there might be ways around it.
