Best Service have released Dark ERA 2 Engine Audio Library, available for $259.00. There’s also an upgrade path from version 1, available for $99.00.
Dark ERA 2 is a comprehensive sound library designed by Eduardo Tarilonte, focusing on historical instruments, voices, and textures to create atmospheric and narrative music for film, games, and beyond.
The library features a diverse collection of instruments with distinct characters, including bowed and plucked strings like Tagelharpa and Nyckelharpa, expressive wind and horn instruments, and a versatile percussion section for rhythm and dynamics.
Rhythm in Dark ERA 2 is achieved through the layering and combination of playable drums, rhythmic performances, and primal loops, all designed to evolve organically and adapt to tempo and mood.
A significant component of the library is its voice section, offering melodic, rhythmic, and textural elements through various vocal techniques such as overtone singing, throat singing, and war vocals.
Multi-layered soundscapes and rhythmic pads are included to create immersive sonic environments, with individual layers adjustable within the Engine Player’s internal mixer for flexible atmosphere creation.
Dark ERA 2 operates within the Engine Player, providing a streamlined workflow with direct access to parameters, tempo synchronization, and performance-based patches for intuitive playing and composition.
The library is praised by composers like Tom Salta and Einar Selvik for its high recording quality, musicality, expressive potential, and its ability to fill a unique sonic niche for historical and primal textures.
