Zero -G
Elements - Modern Scoring Synth £80
Breathing new life into contemporary scoring, Zero-G’s new suite earns a rightful place on the periodic table of music production
>Zero-G founder and producer Stefano Maccarelli has a passion for scoring; as a successful composer in his own right, he knows a thing or two about adding suspense and tension to a trailer cue, which most certainly informs his commitment to creating exciting Kontakt instruments with cinematic tendencies.
Modern scoring
Elements calls itself a Modern Scoring Synth, built on a Zero-G concept which will be reminiscent to anyone who has used previous Zero-G Kontakt instruments. It’s a three-layer format, with substantial partial control, derived exclusively from sampled content. Even the synth-based sounds are sample-based, which is the Kontakt norm, but the big difference here is the volume of supplied content. A full 23GB of all-new samples ship with Elements, some of which may feel familiar from previous Zero-G content. There is a return of vocal samples, provided by long-time associate Clara Solace, with diversification looming large through drum loops, ethnic percussion, native American flutes, acoustic and electric guitars, and even cello.
