Sample Libraries

Featuring the vocals of Clara Sorace in three different sets of vocal presets, Zero-G’s Electro Virtual Instrument library also includes a sizeable collection of instrument sounds: synths, guitars, leads, pads, drums, drum loops and various sound effects‑style groupings.

Zero-G’s new library makes it easy to add a touch of Middle Eastern flavour to your productions.

With a title like Heavy Industry, it will perhaps come as no surprise if Zero-G’s latest offering is intended to take the user into the sonic realms of the urban, industrialised world.

Ethera Soundscapes includes 14GB of sample content spread across three different elements: a vocal library with both male and female vocal samples, a range of atmospheric ambience elements, and a wavetable-based synth-engine.

Ethera is meant to sound ethereal, and it can’t be denied that Clara Sorace, whose vocal performances were sampled to create this 3.4GB Kontakt library, definitely leans more towards Enya than Aretha...

If you are seeking material to give your next score a genuine flavour of the music from countries such as Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey or Iran, then this library may well be a relatively inexpensive place to start.

Legacy is inspired by Blade Runner and other classic 80s sci-fi movies. That world of sound is what Legacy attempts to capture, distil, and then present in a sample library format.

Zero–G have given us bangs, crashes and wallops with Impact Designer, and created a sense of speed with Whoosh Designer. To round off the collection is Rise Designer: Cinematic Build Creator.

Zero‑G's Epica is undoubtedly a labour or love by producer Sam Spacey. The library has been nearly three years in the making!

I first saw Vocaloid demonstrated by Yamaha at the 2003 Frankfurt Musikmesse, and even though the chap presenting the demo spoke few words of English, the product's impressive capabilities were obvious.

Zero‑G's Disco Gold provides over 800 loops presented in a 24‑bit, 44.1kHz stereo format, with some 1.7Gb of sample material in all.

This collection from Zero‑G contains 560MB of unique samples, packaged into the usual collections of 'Acidised' WAV files and Apple Loops...
