Diva "Xenon" will be available on 8/2/22 at https://www.luftrum.com/

“The bustling morning commuters that normally walked with eyes full of aloofness had stopped. Above them were artificial lights and billboards – instead of adverts, they flashed controlled patterns. Was it A.I.? Was it a message? If one looked carefully enough, the word Xenon could been seen tracking steadily over the stock ticker...”

Xenon for Diva sizzles with electric light, tracing an illuminated path through city streets inhabited by sword wielding heroines, cybernetic villains and rogue AI. Taking its cues from Japanese Manga and Anime, it pushes virtual analog to the razors edge. Xenon consists of 150 patches, inspired by modern electronic scores with an eastern influence from cinema and video games. The subtle nuances imparted by Diva's feature set provides both robust depth and immersive atmosphere. An analog tour de force, it is chock full of beautifully emulated analog sounds, which deliver a rich and emotional sound palette for your next score or video project.

This diverse and animated toolkit provides driving analog bass lines and arpeggios, deep bass impacts, soft and sparkly keys, and lush widescreen pads. Mesmerize your listeners with drifting inventive sequences, surprise them with dark and dystopian soundscapes and bring them back home again with vintage synths with a modern twist.

Xenon is inspired by classic and contemporary media such as “Ghost in the Shell” (Clint Mansell, Lorne Balfe), Final Fantasy (Nobuo Uematsu), 13 Sentinels (Aegis), and individual artists such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Kenji Kawaii, David Sylvian and YMO.

Each patch has carefully crafted controls for the modwheel, and the set is fully NKS compatible for users of NI Kontrol software and hardware.

Lively, cerebral and full of style – Xenon provides a hefty dose of seasoning to spice up any project with analog warmth and a vibrant modern flare. 

Xenon requires Diva v1.4.3 or higher.

Dark Zebra "Arkos" available at www.luftrum.com on November 3rd, 2022

Product info

He squinted through the rain as cars sped past. His contact must be around somewhere. He pulled his jacket collar up higher. As he did so, he felt something slide into his pocket. He reached in. A phone- pulled it out, opened it. You have one new message: Arkos.

Darkened cities with backroom deals, barren wastes that hide secrets, and high-tech dystopias where every move is watched – enter Arkos. a dark and gritty cinematic sound set for Zebra HZ created by Sonic Underworld and curated by Luftrum. It features an arresting tapestry of sounds that will form the backbone of your underscore for your next crime thriller, dark drama, or near-future nightmare.

Arkos is brimming with anti-hero leads, melancholy keys, brooding basses, post-apocalyptic pads, and menacing sequences. You will also find moody drifting synths, dramatic impacts, left-field FX, and deep warping soundscapes.

Subtle tension and suspense permeate throughout, and Arkos is heavily inspired by dark dramas such as Ozark, Breaking Bad, Money Heist, and Squid Game. From widescreen atmospheres, to futuristic sonics, to faded technicolor synths, Arkos delivers a cinematic experience wrapped in corroded, off-kilter electronica.

For maximum expressiveness, Arkos boasts assignments for modwheel, velocity, and aftertouch, as well as all four X/Y pads. A few dB of headroom is reserved for ease of mixing.

Please note this set was made for Zebra HZ version 2.9.3 (Dark Zebra), a special version of Zebra made specifically for Hans Zimmer upon his request with additional filters, modulation options, and more. While the patches will load in the regular version of Zebra, it is recommended to have Zebra HZ otherwise the patches may sound different.
