AVA Music Group introduces Unity: Modern Trailer Synth (€89) for Kontakt Player. Read more about this exciting virtual instrument below and enter our giveaway to win one of the three available licenses.
AVA Music Group is the name behind virtual instruments like Eminence and Instinct (Trailer Sound Effects).
Unity: Modern Trailer Synth is the developer’s latest release and looks set to be a compact cinematic powerhouse.
An epic trailer needs epic sound, whether all-action, understated emotion, or eerie minimalism. Unity delivers its epic sound via its three-sampler-based engine, running in the free Kontakt Player (7 or higher).
The sampler engine has three clearly defined parts represented by color-coded ADSR shapes on the interface’s main page.
- Synths: red
- Textures: purple
- Wavetables (Sine, Saw, Sub Sine, Triangle, Square): blue
The Synths sound source defines the core character of your tone, while the other two sources enhance it in different ways.
AVA Music Group designed the interface with efficiency in mind, and you can find all primary functions on the main page. An example of that efficiency is the sliders on each ADSR shape that allow you to adjust your envelope settings directly from the image.
Each sound source has individual volume sliders, sample selection, and an FX chain. The built-in effects include distortion, reverb, delay, movement, and filter. There’s also a master FX page that you can access via the Attitude icon offering tube-style compression and harmonics.
The main page also features an assignable Modwheel and a little Identity pad that lets you set the perfect blend of the three sound sources.
I like the interface, everything is within easy reach, and if you want a clearer overview of everything going on with each sound source, you can open the Shapes page. The Shapes page details your effects, filter, and source settings for each shape.
Unity features 350 unique sounds and 300 factory presets across the following categories: Lead, Bass, Braam, Downer, Riser, Brass, Pluck, and Pulse.
I love instruments that are easy to use without being too limited, and that’s not always the easiest combination to find. But Unity certainly isn’t difficult to navigate, and it seems like it offers more than enough ways to create something that sounds unique.
It also seems like an instrument that could do most of the heavy lifting if you have any cinematic projects on the go, especially action-packed scenes.
I’m keen to try it out; Unity does sound pretty epic, but if you want something free, check out AVA’s Free Sounds page.
You can also try the free version of Inferno SFX, a freebie sound pack for media composers (50 free sounds).
