Zero-G Releases Outer Limits Virtual Instrument For Kompakt

Dec 08, 2005

Outer Limits is a new ZERO-G/XFONIC virtual instrument powered by Native Instruments Kompakt and featuring a massive four gigabyte core library of more than 500 unique soundscapes and full of sounds beyond your imagination.

Outer Limits is Ian Boddy's follow-up to his critically acclaimed Morphology Kompakt instrument. The range of sounds this instrument is capable of is truly amazing, from shimmering pads, to mysterious drones, crystalline digital manipulations to dark distorted atmospheres, menacing mechanisms, evocative resonances, surreal sound effects, complex cascades, formant sheens, dark disturbing horror, analogue waves, amazing space textures, strange vocal synthesis and of course, sounds from the Outer Limits of space and time. And you can layer eight at a time to create complex soundscapes.

Categories include Ambient Loops, Analogue Waves, Chamber of Horrors, Click & Glitch, Deep Space, Dense Soundscapes, Digital Drones, Digital Manipulations, Distorted Views, Heavy Drones, Machine Dreams, Minimalism, One Shot Synth FX, Outer Limits, Surreal to Real, Transcendental, Twisted Pads, Vintage Synth Atmos, Vocal Transformations and White Noise Atmospheres.

The whole library is presented within NI's stunning state-of-the-art Kompakt Instrument sampler interface, which makes no compromises in the playing and performing of sample-based instruments. Powerful multi-mode filters, envelopes, and LFOs give this library enormous flexibility and a wealth of creative possibilities. The integrated high-quality reverb, chorus, and delay effects can give each sample life and depth.

Ian Boddy is one of the UK's most celebrated synthesists, and a veteran of the European electronic music scene since the late 1970s. Ian's exclusive arsenal of vintage and modern synths and software plug-ins have been extensively plundered together with cutting edge sonic manipulations and the audio mangling of real environmental sounds to create the unique and inspiring new library that you will find within this powerful virtual instrument.
