ZAK Sound have released Raizes along with 2 new instruments for Raises, each available at the intro price of £21.00 / $27.30, increasing to £30.00 / $39.00 after the promotion. Raizes player is available as a FREE download with any library..
Raizes is a hybrid platform that blends advanced sampling with powerful wavetable synthesis, designed to host and enhance our custom instruments.
With its 6-layer audio engine, dual filters, amp section, 36 FX slots, built-in arpeggiators, and a comprehensive modulation system that can control any parameter, Raizes is a true creative powerhouse.
Fully compatible with MPE devices, it’s the ultimate tool for producers and composers looking to unlock new levels of expression and inventiveness.
Each layer in Raizes is fully customizable — adjust level, pan, pitch, and width independently, or dive deeper with creative sample tools like time-stretching, reverse playback, and random start points. Whether you’re layering subtle textures or crafting complex soundscapes, Raizes gives you complete control over every detail.
Easily link any control to dynamic sources like LFOs, mod wheels, and expressive MPE gestures. Shape movement with custom curves, smooth transitions, and rhythmic pulses — turning every tweak into a musical performance.
Each layer gives you six FX slots to play with — from classic EQs and reverbs to gritty saturation, beautiful delays, and unique textures like RaizesVerb and Wow/Flutter. Mix, match, and experiment your way to something entirely new.
Choose from playful patterns like up, down, random, or chords, and dial in the groove with controls for speed, swing, note length, and more. Whether you’re sketching ideas or crafting complex sequences, it adds instant movement and energy to your sound.
The two new instruments include:
Auralis
Auralis is a texture and pad instrument built from recordings of natural environments — including waterfalls, birds, ocean waves, and rain.
Its sound palette is shaped by organic movement and subtle detail, offering layered atmospheres and tonal washes that evolve over time. Unconventional by design, Auralis captures the raw beauty of nature in a form shaped for musical exploration.
Nebula Keys
Nebula Keys is not just a sampled instrument — it’s an experience. Built from the heart of a warm, character-rich German upright piano, it was designed to help you create emotional, immersive music effortlessly.
Whether you’re producing intimate scores, dreamy lo-fi beats, or cinematic soundscapes, Nebula Keys gives you a palette that’s both expressive and deeply inspiring.
Raizes is available to PC, Mac and Linux users (VST3, AU and standalone).
