Nostalgia Virtual Instrument from Zero-G

Aug 16, 2005


Click image for closeup
Nostalgia is a new Zero-G/XFonic virtual instrument powered by Native Instruments, featuring over 1.3 gigabytes of sounds and more than 1,300 patches from four decades of electronic instruments.

Programming wizard and all-round synth enthusiast Steve Howell has used his 30+ years of experience and knowledge of these various instruments to create representations of some of the world's greatest synths, keyboards and beat boxes. Seamlessly looped samples of a heritage of instruments that have paved the way for where we are today - over 40 years of innovation and pioneering spirit encapsulated in one collection.

Whatever your chosen musical genre there's a place for these sounds in your music. Whether it's old-skool lo-fi beatboxes, huge Gothic Tron sounds, smooth Prophet pads and strings, beefy Moog basses or leads, classic electric pianos, swirly string synths, cheezy toys, classic samplers, brittle digital synths, evolving S+S textures ... you name it - with over 5,000 samples and more than 1,300 patches, it's probably there.

The whole library is presented within NI's Kompakt sampler interface. Multi-mode filters, envelopes, and LFOs give this library flexibility and a wealth of creative possibilities. The integrated reverb, chorus, and delay effects are also included.

The sound categories are as follows:

  • US Classics
  • Euro Classics
  • Japanese Classics
  • Playback Keyboards
  • Organs
  • Electro-Mechanicals
  • Digital ROMpler synths
  • Vintage Samplers
  • Cheap n Cheezy
  • Obscure Synths
  • Drum Synths
  • Classic Beatboxes
  • Obscure Beatboxes
  • Sci-Fi
  • Atmosferics
  • String Synths
  • Basses.
