The Unfinished has released Zebra Borealis, a collection of 180 patches for u-he Zebra2.
The focus in Borealis is on synthetic sounds, for modern cinematic scoring. Blending analogue and digital flavours, this soundset is designed to takes pure synthesis and gives it a kinetic, widescreen twist. Borealis includes basses and basslines, pads, keys, pulsing sequences and arpeggios, dark soundscapes, and percussion loops.
It takes its lead from artists from M83, Solar Fields and Cliff Martinez to Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre and Giorgio Moroder, and scores such as Mass Effect, Monsters, Deus Ex: Human Evolution, Tron: Legacy and Blade Runner. Although designed predominantly for modern film, game and television scoring, the soundset is also extremely useful for other genres, including ambient, electronica and synthwave.
Each of the 180 patches has detailed and expansive modwheel and X/Y pad programming for easy and effective 'on the fly' control.
Borealis also comes in a Dark Edition, which features tweaked and optimised versions of the original 180 patches for Zebra HZ/Dark Zebra.
Price: £24.99, with the Dark Edition at £34.99. You can also download a 'try before you buy' pack of Zebra Borealis and Dark Edition sounds.
