Rise Designer KONTAKT

SYNTHiC4TE | Feb 28 2015 | 314 MB

RISE DESIGNER starts with the best rise sounds you will ever hear then makes your life very easy by putting them in sync with your projects, adding endless variety and making them very easy to control. Many existing ‘riser’ libraries will offer one of these twin evils: (1) great sounds which are limited, inflexible and can’t be repeated too many times without sounding obvious and stale, or (2) a flexible but overcomplicated interface with uninspiring raw waveforms like white noise and saw tooth waves which require a lot of work for not very much in return. Enter ZG’s beautiful new Rise Designer with world-class raw sounds plus an extremely flexible, simple interface, which will give you thousands of possibilities for combining and sculpting those sounds. The incredibly high quality raw audio material was painstakingly crafted by Professor of Sound Design and Hollywood trailer sound professional Alessandro Camnasio, whose credits include the trailers for Transformers: Age of Extinction, Captain America – The First Avenger, THOR and many more.
