Following up to their "Pro Pack for GarageBand" and "Dance Pack for GarageBand" collections of Apple Loops, Zero-G announced World Pack for GarageBand, which comes in at over 9,000 samples, consisting of Apple Loops and instruments.

In addition to hand-picking the best loops and samples from a wide range of 'world/ethnic' products from their back-catalog, Zero-G has added approximately 3,000 brand new unique loops and instrument samples from Africa and the Middle East. All that content has been programmed into Apple Loops and Instruments format, making it all instantly usable and interchangeable in Apple's GarageBand and SoundTrack, and also in the latest versions of Logic, Logic Express, and Final Cut Pro.
