Cyber Core

Introducing "Cyber Core" by Zero-G, sound designed by Ergo Kukke. This Kontakt instrument is engineered for modern composers, offering futuristic rhythms, beats and themes suited for music that requires action, combat and suspense. 'Cyber Core' is designed to augment soundtracks, video games and trailers with tension and excitement.

'Cyber Core' features high-quality recordings captured through multiple microphones, enhanced by synthesizers, FX and Ergo Kukke's long history as a professional sound designer. Looking for the perfect sound, Ergo has recorded abandoned buildings, hospitals, ammunition warehouses, demolished 2 cars, engines, nature, many musical instruments and drums, made his own drums and synthesized a library of FX, drums, atmos etc. During this process tens of thousands of original sounds were recorded/synthesized and used to create the rhythmic loops for 'Cyber Core'.

The four-layer interface allows you to blend over 280 sound sources spanning categories such as basses, glitch FX, drums, melodies, synth sequences and more, whilst giving you seamless control to twist and morph sounds in real-time. 'Cyber Core' provides evolving rhythms and soundscapes, ideal for those seeking a unique cyberpunk sound. Cyber Core's interface invites creativity and experimentation with it's intuitive randomisation and modulation parameters, whilst the 132 custom designed snapshot presets that are provided offer an immediate way into the instrument.

Inspired by futurism and cybernetics like seen in Cyberpunk 2077, Ergo pushed himself further to do something musically daring and new. A loop cannot just be interesting, it also must be useful and there is plenty of that in 'Cyber Core' as it is original in all aspects. Bored by traditional rhythmic instruments, Ergo made something that he himself actually loves.

Upgrade your compositions and make a bold statement with the gritty and electrifying rhythms of 'Cyber Core'.
