Quickly Sculpt Unique Sonic Landscapes
Blend an 1820s Baroque Cello with supernatural granular shimmers, Mongolian Morin Khuur with radioactive saturation, Nyckelharpa with spaced-out glitches, and much more… Arca gives you the power to create immersive sound worlds yet to be discovered.
Taking full advantage of the powerful sound design capabilities of the MNDALA engine, these unusual sources have been artfully sculpted by MNTRA’s award-winning team to offer a wide variety of uniquely expressive sounds.
Arca is built around MNTRA’s powerful 3-axis control system represented by a custom Perform view animation created for seamless intuitive live expression. Each preset is a unique performable instrument unto itself to be learned and explored.
MNTRA simplified the manipulation of these sound-shaping parameters by creating global controls that are assignable to any MIDI sliders, knobs, or controllers. Map the controls once and you are ready to go without having to re-map them for each new MNDALA instance.
In addition to the curated sound worlds MNTRA created within Arca’s many presets, you can easily sculpt your own sonic landscapes using MNDALA’s powerful non-linear Sound Design environment.

brett – :
This is my first MNTRA instrument and I am hooked. The sounds are unique and easily customizable. I love the interface, not only does it look stelar, it’s also easy to use. Morphing sounds and getting creative is very smooth!
Thomas – :
A simple interface, yet lot of power under the hood. The expression, reverb and alterations between sounds in a preset is enjoying and useful. Lot of presets and can be used from calm ambient to tension horror tracks. Enjoy!
Sheldon – :
I already have a few MNTRA instrument libraries, and I love them all. There is no exception for this library, really love those strings textures!
Jouni – :
What this library does it does very well. It is a product that does not even try to be ”Jack of all trades”, but there a too many of those already imho. There propably could have been more presets, however it is very easy to gain a wide range of useful sounds easily with the three main midi controls (which are easy to link to a physical midi controller if you have one).
I surely will check out also other products by this developer!
Kenjii – :
What I love about MNTRA is how their instruments have exponentially expanded my sonic view. ARCA is another unique instrument that touches my psyche, MNTRA instruments seem to have a spirit of their own. The UI is easy to use yet thought-provoking, and the sounds ethereal in nature. In short, you need these strings!
Matthew – :
Yet another amazing soundcape from MNDALA! This one is one of my favorites – not only can it be used for textures, but it can also be used for the melody as well!
Piotr – :
Very powerfull tool. Absolutely cool strings! Beatufilul voices. I like all Mntra products. Absolutely worth of buiyng.
Frank – :
I’ve been buying sounds & vst’s for a long time, so it needs to be different than what I already have for me to buy more! This one fits! It adds a new dimension to my sound that I don’t possess with any other library! I will find it useful in my more creative productions and as a layer to build upon on! Thanks for the great job!
Igor – :
Cool plugin, I like the sounds that it creates. I’ll definitely find some use for it in my productions. For the price, you can’t beat it.
Rick – :
very useful for mysterious, horrible scenes, it broadens the toolkit for me. And it’s also inspiring to play around with all that stuffs.
Lloyd – :
You really can’t go wrong with anything from MNTRA. They provide some of the coolest and unique sounds from a flexible and engaging interface that looks different for every product. COLLECT THEM ALL!!!
Chris – :
A unique engine that provides a huge amount of control to shaping pads, string textures, synths, FX, and more. The sounds you can create are very unique and I like the directions the developer is choosing to explore with the choice of manipulated instruments. Endless sound shaping options to get lost in. The GUI is also very nice to look at with its moving animations.
Fernando – :
One of the most unique looking and sounding instruments I’ve worked with in a very long time. Limitless possibilities.
LAWRENCE – :
very different very very inspiring. Something that is not normally found in the world of VST’s ; original ; evocative and inspiring.
Peter – :
Interesting concept 3-axis concept with huge possibilities and great sounds. Waiting for the update to the v2 Engine.
Also own Huracan – looking forward to use them more
Alexandru – :
Great deal and works as expected. My first purchase here, so I’m glad to find this site trustworthy. The instrument is definitely something you’ll use, maybe not everywhere, but MNTRA plugins have a way of delivering when you need a new approach on a project.
