The Unfinished has announced the release of Zebra Borealis, a new soundset featuring a collection of 180 patches for the Zebra2 synthesizer by u-he.

The focus in Borealis is on synthetic sounds, designed for modern cinematic scoring. Blending analogue and digital flavours, this soundset takes pure synthesis and gives it a kinetic, widescreen twist.

Borealis is bursting with smooth basses and basslines, luscious pads, deft keys, pulsing sequences and arpeggios, dark soundscapes, and crunchy percussion loops.

Taking a 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; Borealis gives classic synth sounds an update and opens them up for the big screen.

If you’re looking for cutting edge synth sounds that meld punchy, drifting analogue colour with crisp, complex, digital hybrid sensibilities with a future-retro style, Borealis is your soundset.

Zebra Borealis is available for purchase for £24.99 GBP.

The Zebra Borealis Dark Edition includes an additional 180 tweaked and optimized versions of the original 180 patches for Zebra HZ/Dark Zebra. The Dark Edition costs £34.99 GBP.
