Character Design. Creative Morphing.
Simple controls, complex sounds: meet our brand new Continuo 2 engine with a futuristic organic look! Blend between 4 heavily sound designed instruments, browse our artist presets to get inspired or create your very own hybrid sounds from scratch.

More tools. Polyrhythmic Modulation.
There are no bad choices! Twist, blend, squash, tousle, filter, sharpen, dim, wow, blur, echo, overdrive… with over 40+ new controls and special effects to play with. Now with an additional transient layer control, Prophet 5 style filters, dual pulse control and extended master chain tools.

Woods. Metals. Oscillators. – The sound sources
We sampled iamyank piano with different unconventional mic setups and playing techniques. The library contains a traditional piano, a prepared and a hand picked instruments. We enhanced the recordings with various synths such as Sequential Circuits Rev2 and Moog modular modules to give bite, depth and real analog low end to the instrument patches. 

Samples are recorded with analog gear and ran through cassettes and tapes to give a more organic feel. We also processed some of our patches with digital granular effects & distortion stompboxes. Also included are 80+ Artist presets from music composers and sound designers.

Unique Audio Plugin

Important note: This product requires a FULL version of Native Instruments’ KONTAKT 6.5.2. The free Kontakt Player is not sufficient.

An otherworldly experience for Kontakt 6 has just landed! Playable lead and atmospheric sounds, drones, soundscapes, hits, risers, whooshes, braams, wave tables, rhythmic loops and lots of unearthly textures and effects.

UAP brings you a unique alien engine to push your music and sound design to another dimension.

You can bend time and space, blend into different sound dimensions, engage lots of alien-sounding FX, add organic movement and pulses and/or engage the auto-pilot and just sit back/enjoy your space flight listening to which unknown and exotic places your sounds are taken to. Last but not least, you can drag&drop your own samples (up to 128) and tweak them inside the engine, importing your favorite sample packs or expanding the instrument with future expansion packs especially designed and optimized for UAP.
