Fracture Sounds Zen: Meditations v1.0.1 KONTAKTZEN
Containing a range of meditative instruments and sounds from around the world, Zen: Meditations is the perfect addition to your scoring palette, evoking calming tones in your music, or conjuring other-worldly atmospheres using the new Layer Blends engine.

About The Collection
For this library, we pursued sounds closely related to the act of meditation or the creation of other-worldly ambiences and textures that invoke feelings of spiritualism and calm. Containing tuned and untuned percussion, instruments from Indian classical music, alongside 24 inspiring sound-design layers, there is a great variety of contemporary and conventional sounds as part of this package.

Building on years of sampling experience from instruments previously in the Fracture Sounds catalogue, Zen provides a fresh perspective, adding 9 previously unexplored instruments to our product catalogue.

From this experience, we have developed realistic interpretations of the instruments, unique tools such as Dynamic Performance and our brand-new Layer Blends engine- allowing you to easily blend all of the Atmosphere Layers and sustain articulations in an intuitive interface.

14 inspiring instruments
The library contains 14 inspiring instruments from a range of instrument families, captured and programmed with meticulous attention to detail.

Whilst some instruments may look simple on the surface, we have deployed advanced performance scripts behind the scenes allowing for responsive and expressive playing. For example, the performance engine for our bowed metal instruments replicates the slow changes in dynamics, characteristic of the real instruments.Alongside the acoustic instruments are 24 specially curated Atmosphere Layers – pads and textures which have been designed to blend perfectly with the range of instruments available in the library. Each tuned instrument is loaded with three default layers that are best suited to the instrument in question. However, these can be easily swapped out with any other Atmosphere Layer in the library to create your own unique sound palette.

A new way to blend sounds
Taking the sound design and sample content of Zen even further, we have developed the Layer Blends engine, allowing you to combine the entire range of atmosphere layers and sustained articulations across Zen in a simple-to-use interface. Load up to three sound sources at a time and blend between them using the mod wheel.

Want to quickly generate new combinations to find inspiration? Use the Shuffle button to swap out any of the sounds from the 28 sources in the dropdown menu, which can be further modified with an octave shift or the global ADSR and Reverb controls.
