Description: The year is 2540, a battle rages between humans and machines. Zafira, a child of the Star Rebel Alliance, strides the stars in a war-torn galaxy. As the only hope of humanity’s last colony, her mission is both euphoric and terrifying as she confronts her inner courage to save humanity…
Introducing Zaphira, a modern cinematic marvel containing 150 inspiring analog patches for your next sonic adventure and probably one of the most exciting, intense and adrenaline-fueled collection of U-He Diva patches in the Luftrum portfolio.
Harsh realities collide like tides in space as hypnotic arpeggios, sequences and powerful low bass lines combine to shape the music of your next journey into deep dark space. Lush and evolving pads, breathtaking basses and powerful rich synth sounds will take you into the sonic space as brave explorers of past generations. Designed to give you the best of modern cinematic analog emulation, the sound pack contains everything you’ve come to expect from analog sounds, crafted with modern cinematic and sci-fi aspects in mind.
Major influences include John Murphy (Sunshine), Jon Hopkins (Monsters), Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow (Annihilation, Ex Machina), Wojciech Golczewski (400 Days), and artists in the vein of Tony Anderson, Melodysheep, Underworld and Solar Fields.
Zaphira is fully compatible with NKS, which is relevant for users of Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol equipment. It includes NKS tagged presets sorted in the Zaphira subbank and comes with NKS audio preview.
Each patch has dedicated mod wheel assignments. Aftertouch is used to give more expressiveness wherever needed. All patches leave a few dB headroom, and there is a PDF manual describing how to set up the kit and where to place NKS presets.
