REQ: Dark Zebra Rogue by Sonic Underworld and Luftrum
Navigating this web of intrigue takes a certain personality – where rules are meant to be broken. Meet Rogue, for the Dark Zebra, an adrenaline-fueled soundset collection of 400 presets, built for thrill-seekers and those not afraid to delve into the heart of the shadowy unknown.
Rogue draws heavily from suspenseful, action-driven scores. Sometimes subtle, often times brutal, but always with a knack for the unexpected. Rogue is the perfect sound palette for painting pictures of high-stakes car chases, fast escapes, or heart-pounding stealth missions in the city’s labyrinth of shadow-laden backstreets.
The focus of this set centers around fast-paced rhythmic elements from distorted, harrowing basslines and blistering atonal percussion loops which punctuate the silence. These elements are accompanied by gripping sound effects, warped pulses and distorted sequences, dramatic impacts, and captivating drum hits, as well as moody cinematic synths, pads, and atmospheres.
Rogue captures the intensity of modern scores, delivering a gritty, action-driven, and immersive cinematic experience. Influences include Atli Örvarsson (Silo), Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow (Archive 81), Tyler Bates and Joel J. Richard (John Wick Chapter 4), Gustavo Santaolalla (The Last of Us), and last but not least Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch (Bladerunner 2049, Dune). Whether you’re looking to score your next high-octane action movie or simply want to add a pulsing edge to your music, look no further, Rogue is your ultimate ally.
The installation of the set is a fast 1-click install via drag & drop: Simply grab the soundset file and drop it directly onto the user interface of Zebra, and the soundset along with all NKS files, will be installed. The set is fully NKS compatible for users of Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol hardware. There’s a PDF guide included on how to install.
Each preset makes heavy use of Zebra’s X/Y pads and the modwheel for maximum sonic potential. Complex modulation routings ensure lively, organic and vibrant timbres. Generous amounts of headroom are held in reserve so you can craft in confidence.
Rogue was made for Zebra HZ/Dark Zebra which is included in Zebra Legacy. This is a custom version of Zebra made for Hans Zimmer. While the presets will load in the normal version of Zebra, it is recommended to have Zebra HZ/Dark Zebra otherwise the presets may sound different.
