Zero G Altered States

A powerful plug-in virtual instrument, driven by a custom high-performance audio engine.

Altered States is a virtual instrument that will inspire you! First, it contains almost 5GB of raw data and thousands of unique source sounds. Second, it is powered by a custom high-performance Native Instruments interface for shaping and manipulating the sounds. Third, the source material is organic, unique, and ultra-creative, featuring virtuoso sound design.

The state-of-the-art plug-in interface by Native Instruments is specifically optimized for rhythmic loop playback and manipulation. The convenient one-screen interface (a version of NI Intakt) provides tremendous sound-shaping abilities without disrupting the creative flow and includes a first-class multimode filter, an envelope follower, 2 LFOs, effects, and much more. Loops can be automatically synced to tempo by either the Beat Machine or the Time Machine.

The Beat Machine has loops divided into their individual hits (slices) which means they can be played at a wide range of tempos without change in pitch. Each hit has individual settings for pitch, playback direction, pitch envelope, amp envelope, distortion, delay, and more. Plus a MIDI file of each loop can be easily exported so that groove, accent, and feel can be manipulated in any host sequencer.

The Time Machine time-stretches or compresses loops in real time.

All sounds have been reorganized and re-categorized from the original ten Zero-G libraries and integrated with over a gigabyte of outstanding new material. In the rhythm department there are thousands of loops and all are presented in sliced format (via the NI INTAKT Beat Machine) and so can be automatically synced to your songs with the Time Machine. The programming, conversion, and organization has been expertly designed to be user-friendly and logically creative.
