The FX section contains a mixed bag of bleeps, bloops and filter sweeps. The Sequence group also features a number of short, staccato sounds that would work really well with an arpeggiator plug-in. This theme continues in the Sequence category, and presets such as '1 Note MD WH Single' could make an instant techno backing.

Amongst the usual string-style sounds and the occasional '50s sci-fi movie soundbed, the highlights for me were those presets with tempo-sync effects, such as 'Bubble Monster', 'Edge of Space' and 'Hillage Pad' these were all instantly inspiring. The collection of pads may not be Phaedra's strongest suit, but there's still some excellent material here. The rather odd 'Spanky' does a nice line in synthesized cats, while 'Sugar Plum' has a nice hollow character to it and would be great for dance melody lines. The wonderful 'Donna Summer' preset includes arpeggio notes for an instant 'I Feel Love' bass line: very disco! The lead sounds go from the huge 'Big Up The Massive' to the somewhat weirder 'Bontempo Tempi' (think Rolf Harris and Stylophones). For example, on the bass side, 'Awesome Moog' and 'Ebolfer' provide really solid dance basses, while 'Big Ass Bass' and 'Deep Dub' offer something a little bigger.

The Bass and Lead categories are equally good and also mix some useful generic sounds with some that are more full-on. The weird 'Ghost Popcorn' and 'Poltergeist' and the creepy 'Fade' and 'Scary Cellos' are to be found amongst some fabulous and sometimes monstrous analogue-style sounds, such as the big, fat 'Hardcore Wet' or the dance-friendly 'Deep Bottom'.

But there are more adventurous sounds, too. Amongst many others, the wonderfully-named 'Big Throb Pants' and 'Mr Putin' patches offer a similar vibe - basic tones with a good dose of analogue character.

Like many of Phaedra's sounds, the original analogue nature of the sound source comes through and, in this case, the mod wheel gently closes the filter to warm things up nicely. There are some excellent bread and butter sounds - such as the subtle but beautiful 'Angel Delighted', which could be used for basic chord or melody parts in a range of musical styles.

Given the size of the library, and the usual Native Instruments registration procedure, installation takes a little time, but the serious time is required for the auditioning, so I suggest you get in some provisions!īoth the synth categories are well populated, and the patches cover a huge sonic palette.

There are two synth sections (1 and 2), basses, leads, pads, sequences, FX, D'n'B and 'Synth Builder' categories, while a series of Kontakt multis (several individual instruments layered to create more complex sounds) is also included. The sounds themselves are organised into a number of logical categories. These included a Minimoog D, a Yamaha CS5, a Korg Monopoly, a Studio Electronics SE1, a Roland SH101 and a Crumar Multiman. A range of synths was used in creating the library and, apart from an Ensoniq ESQ1, the sound sources were all analogue.

Producer Sam Spacey has constructed a massive collection of virtual analogue synth sounds: over 4GB of samples are included, with some 20,000 individual samples making up the 700+ preset patches. and given that Zero-G's Phaedra is described in the advertising as 'the ultimate virtual analogue synth', it was probably this that inspired the library's name. Those up on their Greek mythology will know that Phaedra was a lover of Hippolytus, but Phaedra also happens to be the title of a 1974 Tangerine Dream album.
