Native Instruments

Utopia is a really fun to use Toolkit for Trance and similar EDM genres. It's great for beginners as it's very easy to use, and also has extensive functionality under the hood for advanced users. There are lots of classic and modern EDM synth sounds built in that are instantly recognisable making this very useful for creating ideas quickly.

Presets are a combination of 2 layered sounds that are changeable, allowing for easy experimentation and inspiration. The FX section allows for building customisable FX chains and has an extensive list of options inc compressors, transient shaper, saturation, etc which can be modulated with the built in Macros, which in turn can be controlled with the built in Sequencer.

I received this instrument for free during a KVR promo and was that surprised how good it was, I felt the least I could do was write a review. For the full price I feel this is exceptionally good value considering it's not just a synth, it's a full on toolkit. If on a budget, with just a DAW, drum samples and Utopia I would confidently say advanced producers could easily make pro sounding EDM tracks. Utopia has more features than what most Trance produces had at their disposal in its heyday so it's just a case of investing the time learning the genre, this toolkit throughout, and you'll be on your way to the land of euphoria.

Easy to use & sounds are nice.
The sounds are drowned in effects (Reverb), just click the FX off button.

Utopia can be used in other genres other than Trance.

The Pad sounds are very good.

It has a very beautiful sound and you can easily add accents. I think this is very useful when you want to change the sound.

Good range of interesting sounds and effects in an easy-to-use interface. A very useful addition to the musician's toolkit.

One more great sounding tool for Kontakt. My favorite tool in my EDM / Trance music writing and producing.

Me encantó, tiene sonidos muy frescos. Lo he probado y queda muy bien en el House, trap, drill y hasta meter sonidos en el boombap.

色々不思議な音色が多くて気に入りました。.

最近のお気に入りです。.

I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. I've used it on several trailer tracks and the sound is incredible! NI has released another great one.
