The Unfinished has launched Zebra Serenity and Zebra Serenity: Dark Edition, two soundsets for the Zebra synthesizer instrument by u-he.
With an emphasis on warm, organic, analogue tones with some bite, this soundset is designed to provide fresh synth noises for modern film scoring and atmospheric electronica. Serenity takes advantage of Zebra2′s extraordinary attention to detail, extensive modular capabilities and highly developed synth engine.
Serenity leans towards the sound of hybrid scores like M83′s Oblivion, Daft Punk’s Tron: Legacy and Harry Gregson-Williams’ Total Recall; where classic, analogue synth warmth meets the searing, modern virtual analogue.
There also nods to the more laidback, lo-fi world of neo-classical too, with ambient padscapes and dusty, slightly broken synths; inspired by artists such as Johan Johansson, Hammock and A Winged Victory for the Sullen.
The Dark Edition expansion takes the original 128 Serenity sounds and tweaks, modifies and fine tunes them for Zebra HZ. Whilst these are not completely brand new patches, they take the original sounds into new sonic territory, taking advantage of Zebra HZ’s lush analogue Diva filters and VCA compressors, adding extra analogue warmth, bite and darkness.
Zebra Serenity is available to purchase for £19.99 GBP; The Dark Edition (includes Zebra Serenity) is £29.99 GBP.
