Native Instruments has announced the release of a lightweight, cinematic instrument that can build tension and deliver drama.
Saffron is the first installment in the Scene Series, an anticipated collection of streamlined instruments for composers.
Featuring a central XY pad, Saffron makes it simple to blend and layer orchestral sounds to create an atmosphere, including woodwinds, strings, synths, and more. With playful randomization and over 120 presets, Saffron is ideal for those new to composition and pros alike who are using sound to support on-screen moments.
Saffron features
- 16 sound sources to choose from: Use the XY Pad to blend between 16 hybrid sound sources, effects, and sound controls, including woodwinds, strings, synths, and more.
- Built-in effects: Transform textures with a range of effects presets, including reverbs, delays, and modulation.
- Aftertouch-enabled: Polyphonic aftertouch compatibility gives you hands-on control of parameters like volume, tuning, and motion.
- Lightweight & low-cost: An install size of around ~1GB and an affordable $29 price-tag make Saffron an accessible option for composers.
Scene: Saffron for Kontakt and the free Kontakt Player is available to purchase for $29 USD / 29 EUR.
