Luftrum Zaphira For U-He Diva

Luftrum Zaphira for U-He Diva

The year is 2540, a battle is raging between humans and machines. Zaphira, a child of the Star Rebel Alliance, strides forth among the stars, in a galaxy torn by war. Being the only hope for the last colony of humankind, her mission is both euphoric and terrifying, as she confronts her inner bravery to save humanity…

Introducing Zaphira a modern cinematic marvel, containing 150 inspiring analog patches for your next sonic adventure and probably one of the most cliffhanging, suspenseful and adrenaline driven widescreen collections of U-He Diva patches in the Luftrum portfolio.

Stark realities clash like the tides of space, as hypnotic arpeggios, sequences and driving low basslines combine to form the music of your next journey into deep dark space. Lush and evolving widescreen pads, breathtaking basses and powerful rich synth sounds will rocket you through the sonic cosmos, like the brave explorers of generations past. The soundset aims to bring you the best of modern cinematic analog emulation and has everything you’d expect from analog sounds, all crafted with a contemporary, eye-widening, cinematic and sci-fi edge in mind.

Influences are composers such as John Murphy (Sunshine), Jon Hopkins (Monsters), Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow (Annihilation, Ex Machina), Wojciech Golczewski (400 Days), and artists in the vein of Tony Anderson, Melodysheep, Underworld, and Solar Fields.

Zaphira is fully NKS compatible, relevant for users of Komplete Kontrol hardware by Native Instruments. It includes tagged NKS presets, sorted in a Zaphira subbank and comes with NKS audio previews.

Each patch has dedicated modwheel assignments. Aftertouch is used to lend more expression, wherever necessary. All patches leave a few dB headroom and there’s a PDF guide included, describing how to install the set and where to place the NKS presets.

Acustica Audio Nebula 4 v2.2.1 (External Libraries Only) WIN OSX

N4 is our fastest-processing, best-performing, plug-in creation yet, a multi-effect plug-in in VST, AAX, and AU formats for macOS and Windows.

N4 emulates the character and personality of analog hardware with exacting accuracy, allowing you to emulate and replicate several types of expensive audio equipment, eliminating the need for costly and bulky studio hardware. Whether it is high-end outboard equalizers, classic compressors, the latest reverbs, or vintage time-variant effects like phasers and flangers, N4 has them all. Experience the full power of our proprietary audio processing technology, based on Vectorial Volterra Kernels, and find out what Nebula technology can do for you!

The result of this sampling process is highly realistic, complex emulations of many types of audio signal processors, all rendered within N4 VST, AAX, or AU plug-in that is compatible with all major DAW’s.

This version runs only unprotected nebula libraries (that you can find on this site), and comes with no library on its own. Now you can test and support the respective library devs directly without purchasing the full N4!

There is no need to block internet to this plugin. But if you have purchased other Acustica products and is running Aquarius online, use this release at your own risk.

Chord Tone Soloing for Jazz Guitar: Master Arpeggio Soloing for Jazz Guitar

Chord Tone Soloing for Jazz Guitar: Master Arpeggio Soloing for Jazz Guitar

Easily Master Jazz Guitar Soloing
Quickly learn how to solo over the 13 most essential chord progressions in jazz guitar using arpeggios, substitutions and chromatic approaches.

Jazz Arpeggios, Extensions and Substitutions to Develop & Enrich Your Playing
Learn the best arpeggios to use over the thirteen most common chord sequences in jazz and bebop guitar playing.

Learn to Approach Jazz Guitar the Right Way
Jazz guitar can be a challenging style of music to learn. As guitarists we are often more comfortable playing scales rather than the true building blocks of jazz solos; arpeggios, so it can be difficult for us to emulate and build authentic bebop language.

Musically Apply Jazz Guitar Arpeggios to the 13 Most Important Chord Progressions in Jazz
There are many different bebop chord progressions, but in essence they can be broken down into just thirteen simple structures.
Chord Tone Soloing for Jazz Guitar teaches you to how to use arpeggios, extensions, chromatic ideas and substitutions over each of the thirteen essential jazz sequences, and how to combine these building blocks into authentic, melodic solos.

Each progression is approached both logically and methodically to build articulate guitar solos from the fundamental principles of jazz guitar. By applying arpeggio-based techniques, and learning to decorate your solos with chromatic ideas, you will quickly learn how to ‘play the changes’ in a musical and creative way.

Chord Tone Soloing for Jazz Guitar helps you build an articulate jazz language around the most important sequences in jazz.

Play the Changes
Jazz soloing developed around the concept of ‘hitting the changes’ and by combining rich arpeggios with chromatic ideas you will quickly master the jazz guitar language.

Learn to
• Target Chord Changes with Arpeggios
• Add Richness and Colour with Arpeggio Extensions
• Form Interesting and Exciting Lines with Chromatic Approach Notes
• Use ‘Outside’ Substitutions to add Altered Tensions to your Playing
• Develop your Solos using Essential Rhythmic Concepts
