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.
