The Unfinished has announced the release of Zebra Quasar, a soundset featuring a collection of 140 patches for the Zebra 2 synthesizer instrument by u-he.
Quasar‘s focus is on electronic cinematic sounds, taking its inspiration from classic analogue synths and also cutting edge modern electronica. Imagine the sound of Tangerine Dream and Vangelis through a prism of trance and techno, whilst retaining an epic, sci-fi, cinematic emotion.
This soundset is partly inspired by recent atmospheric, electronic game scores such as Mirrors Edge: Catalyst, Quantum Break, The Division and even Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, which I did a little work on for Sascha Dikiciyan.
Dark, punchy basses and basslines; atmospheric, expressive leads and keys; powerful, dynamic drums and drumloops; deep, colourful pads and soundscapes; driving, kinetic arps and sequences.
Quasar also comes in a Dark Edition, which features the original 140 patches redesigned and optimised for ZebraHZ, giving them a darker, punchier vibe. All these patches have extra fluidity and control programmed into the modwheel and the performance X/Y pads.
Zebra Quasar is available for purchase for £19.99 GBP. The Dark Edition (which includes the original Zebra 2 sounds) is £29.99 GBP. Prices ex VAT.
