Xtant Audio describes CZ-Alpha as an original Kontakt sample library containing a 100 handmade patches on a classic Casio CZ-101 phase distortion synthesiser. A spokesperson told us, "Each patch has a unique character that can be mangled, twisted, and modified using our custom built user interface. We designed this instrument with a retro feel in mind and created a graphical interface reminiscent of the genuine hardware of the 1980s while taking full advantage of all the modern possibilities that Kontakt provides."

Here's more details in Xtant Audio's own words...

The instrument allows you to easily explore each patch and manipulate them with a selection of effects, some of which ship with Kontakt while others are created through scripting. Once you have modified the patch to suit your taste you can run it through the built in arpeggiator to create interesting and inspiring rhythms and patterns to fit your music.

We know that it takes time to get a patch to sound just right so to preserve all your hard work we have scripted the instrument such that each patch remembers your settings, allowing you to move between patches without losing the changes you've made – and of course all these changes are permanently saved when you save the Kontakt instrument. All the instruments also offer a global edit mode that allows you to edit all of the patches in the instrument in one go.

The download includes four Kontakt instruments (NKIs) and almost 5000 high quality samples. The individual patches are spread across the four NKIs: Bass & Leads, Pads, Keys, and FX. To make it easy to navigate through the plethora of patches we've included handy key switches that will move you to the next or previous patch, you can also select a patch directly from a drop down menu, or even use a continuous controller to instantly jump to a specific patch.

To give you a feel for the instrument we've provided a free version of the CZ-Alpha that has seven patches taken from the full version – click here to go directly to it.
