Nostalgia Demo 1 (mp3audio)
Nostalgia Demo 2 (mp3audio)
NOSTALGIA - over 1.3
gigabytes of sounds and
more than 1,300 patches
from four decades of
electronic instruments!
LATEST NEWS: The NI-poweredplugin (virtual instrument) versionof Nostalgia on DVD is no longer
available. However, the entireNostalgia sample library (withoutthe Native Instruments Kompakt plugin) is available to purchase byDownload in WAV/Kontakt formatwhich can be used with a full versionof Kontakt or with any musicsoftware that can use WAV files.More information HERE.
"...This is a commendable
package... The perfect sample
library for the synth enthusiast on a
budget. Nostalgia gives musicians,
sound designers and producers
access to a wealth of instruments,
many of which haven't yet beenemulated effectively as virtual
instruments... All of the synth
sounds breathe character and it
truly is a delight to play each of the
classic synths, many of which you
will recognise only by sound and
not necessarily by name...
Kompakt provides a simple yet
powerful sampling engine that is
perfect for use with these synth
patches. The built-in effects and
modulation parameters provide the
user with the right balance of features and ease of use...
Scrolling through the patch list
gives an idea of the depth that
Nostalgia provides: there are
sounds for nearly every commonly
used synth, as well as a number of
obscure synths and beatboxes...
We were impressed with the sound
quality of Nostalgia's sample
library. "MUSIC TECH MAGAZINE (UK)

decidedly retro then you’ll
absolutely love this ... the list of
sounds provided reads like a
classic synthesizer museum guide,
but also offers a wealth of sounds
from practically every chintzy
sound source you could possibly
imagine... There’s a phenomenal
amount of obscure drum hits
slotted in amongst the usual
808/909 business, which are boundto bring back a few memories to
the majority of you – we swear
we’ve heard them in many a pop
classic over the years. The pads
are of an exceptional quality as
well, especially the glassy, organic
collection of FM soundscapes – the
likes of which make Eno proud...
This is a truly wide-ranging
collection for ‘through the ages’
synth fans..."FUTURE MUSIC MAGAZINE, UK
"...As you would expect from suchkey players in the field, the sounds
available on Nostalgia are of very
high quality... and there’s a variety
on offer that will keep you hooked
on this title for some time... it will
appeal to all kinds of dance music
producers... suitable for styles as
far apart as soulful house and dark
drum & bass... you could create full
tracks with this one module... with
the sheer usability of the sounds on
this module I can see Nostalgia
getting a lot of love both in thestudio and on stage... Verdict:
Great fun and high quality, this is
one of the best retro plug-ins
currently available"IDJ (INTERNATIONAL DJMAGAZINE)
"...Truly wonderful sounds!...
Nostalgia is excellent. Zero G and
Steve Howell should be
congratulated for putting together
such a large number of 'classic'
sounds in a single, very affordable
library. I had no problems creatingcomplete instrumental pieces using
just the sounds within Nostalgia.
What's more, unlike some
Kompakt-based libraries, this one
does make very good use of
Kompakt's own processing options
to add further colour and movement
to many of the sounds... What is
here sounds consistently good, the
samples are well programmed... If
you like the sounds of classic
synths and drum machines, but
could never afford to buy even a

modest selection of the electronic
instruments represented here, this
library is an excellent way to get a
flavour of the sounds without
breaking the bank. For sheer fun
and 'bang for buck', Nostalgia is
certainly worth FIVE STARS, and
I'd probably give it more if I could!
Rated: 5 STARS out of 5."SOUND ON SOUND MAGAZINE, UK
NOSTALGIA features over 1.3gigabytes of sounds and more than1,300 Kontakt patches from fourdecades of electronic instruments.Programming wizard and all-roundsynth enthusiast STEVE HOWELL hasused his 30+ years of expe rienceand knowledge o f these variousinstruments to create arguably thebest and mos t accuraterepresentations of some of theworld's greatest synths, keyboards
and beat boxe s that he has eitherowned or used in a p rofessionalcapacity as either a sound designer,sound engineer, player or comp oserin one way or another. Steve hasalso used his 16+ years of developing professional samplesound libraries to p rovide highlyoptimised and me mory-efficient,seamlessly looped sa mples of aheritage of instruments that havepaved the way fo r where we aretoday - over 40 years of innovationand (o ften naive) pionee ring sp iritencapsulated in one de finitivecollection of abject 'NOSTALGIA '!
Whatever your chosen musical genre
there's a place for any of thesesounds in your music. Whether it'sold-skool lo-fi beatboxes, hugeGothic Tron sounds, smooth Prophetpads and strings, beefy Moogbasses or leads, classic electricpianos, swirly string synths, cheezytoys, classic samplers, brittle digitalsynths, evolving S+S textures ... youname it - with over 5,000 samplesand m ore than 1,300 patches, it'sprobably there in this huge Kontaktcollection that has effectively been40 years in the making.
The whole library is presented in NI's.nki format for use with KONTAKT,which ma kes no compromise s in theplaying and performing of sample-based instruments. Powerful multi-mode filters, envelopes, and LFOsgive this library enormous flexibilityand a wealth of creative possibilities.

Memory SizeAll programm ing has been carriedout to minimise the size of thepatches thus reducing CPU andMemory Usage.
Modulation Wheel AssignmentsEvery single instrument has theModulation Wheel assigned to afunction. This gives a lot o f dynamiccontrol over the character of thesound. P lease try out the
modulation wheel when playing eachpatch. The Mod Wheel may beassigned to o ne of se veral differentcontrollers including Tune LFO, FilterCutoff, Pan and Volume de pendingon the pa tch in question.
PolyphonyAll instruments a re programm ed atthe default polyphony of 32 notesexcept for a se lection of patchesfrom synths that were originallymonophonic and some bass soundswhich have thus b een programm edas m onopho nic. If you wish toincrease the po lyphony please doso .
MultisInstruments can be combined in aMulti giving a vast array of possiblecombinations of the supplied singleinstruments. For ex ample trycombining a couple of bassinstruments fo r some really fat andthunderous sounds. O r how aboutcombining a Sawtooth and Squarewave pad and then using themodwheel to crossfade betweenthem. This latter effect is easy toset up by over-riding the pre-programmed Mod Whee lassignme nts. Simply set the ModWheel to control one instrument withpositive volume control and theother with negative volume control.
CPU LoadThe exact CPU load of any giveninstrument depends on a myriad of factors - the power of yourcomputer, notes played, complex ityof the instrument etc. However if youfind the CPU load is too high for anyparticular instrument the quickestway of reducing this is to see if theinstrument use s any o f Kontakt'sown built in FX. If so these can beturned off to maximise CPUefficiency.
