Phaedra is a Zero-G/Xfonic virtual instrument powered by Native Instruments' Kontakt Player 2 and featuring over 4GB of sounds, 20,000 samples, and 720 patches, making it a unparalleled virtual analog synth. Unhappy with the lack of raw sonic power in virtual emulations of VSTi analog synths, producer Sam Spacey set out on a three-year journey to make the ultimate synth. He ended up creating a monster in Phaedra. Constructed with the same attention to detail as a huge orchestral sample library, each of the 20,000 samples on Phaedra have been edited and looped by hand, with loops being very long so as to extract that lovely magic of analog randomness. Nearly every single preset has each separate note sampled so as to eliminate aliasing within the instrument's range. With Kontakt 2's engine being pushed totally to the limits, the result is a sample library that is a full synthesizer in its own right. And it is suitable for use with all types of music and would enhance any music producer's sonic arsenal.
