Solaria for Dark Zebra

Dark Zebra Solaria is a cinematic wide screen collection of 170 signature patches for U-He’s Dark Zebra synth. The patches are all created by Stephan Baer and released exclusively on Luftrum.

Dark, atmospheric, subtle, rhythmic and slightly distorted, these sounds are best suited to be used in TV, film drama and sci-fi.

Influences can be attributed to composers and artists such as Jóhann Jóhannsson, Anthony Gonzales & Joseph Trapanese, Solar Fields, Cliff Martinez and Harry Gregson-Williams.

Perfect for any underscore situation that require dark animated distant atmospheres, pulsing arpeggios, mangled bass lines and synth basses, dark keys, lush animated ambient pads, dramatic pulses and drum impacts, fx’s, experimental synths and sci-fi soundscapes.

Many patches offer added adaptability programmed into the modwheel and aftertouch is used for more expression, to make these sounds come alive. All sounds have X/Y assignments for further exploring and as always leaving a few dB headroom.

Solaria requires The Dark Zebra to load, which is a custom and special built version of Zebra 2 with over 400 presets, created for Hans Zimmer who used the sounds in The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises soundtracks. The Dark Zebra requires a Zebra 2 license.
