Dark Horizon is an earth-shattering, bass-heavy synth built from synthesizers and from sounds bent and warped into soundscapes and low ends — a Kontakt instrument that resynthesizes orchestral sounds and sound FX along with rare analog synths and FX boxes.

It runs on a modified version of the ELYSION ensemble engine: up to four instrument modules at a time, each with its own arpeggiator, and a mod-wheel that opens a filter effect the field describes as a great number of kinetic, digital possibilities.

At a Glance

  • 80 playable instruments the figure the field states three times over, in three separate blocks
  • 180 animated themes spread across five categories — the field counts the five and names none of them
  • 765 individual samples recorded, sampled and handcrafted, in the field’s own words
  • Four sound layers each one linked to an independent arpeggiator and two pan engines
  • Three onboard effects compressor, delay and hall reverb — the three the field names
  • MIDI drag and drop the arrangement of your performance leaves the instrument for your DAW

Content & Detail

01What the Field Countsas stated▾
Playable instruments80. The field states it three times — in the opening bullet list, in the A Whole New Experience block, and in the feature list — and all three say 80
Animated themes180, complex, animated and fully customizable, featuring up to 4 fully controllable instruments
Theme categoriesFive. The field says each category has its own style and purpose — rhythmic elements, dark textures, or sounds for playing melodies — but it never names the five
Individual samples765
Sample contentOver 1.2 GB. The system requirements separately ask for at least 2.3 GB of free disc space
Sound designerTobias Menguser, named by the field
The family it namesThe field puts this instrument beside Elysion 2 and The Orchestra
02The Engine and the RequirementsKontakt 6.6.1+▾
Modified ensemble engineThe ELYSION engine, modified: play up to four different instrument modules at the same time, each with independent arpeggiator controls
The mod-wheelOpens a filter effect the field calls a great number of kinetic, digital possibilities
Motion EngineA dynamic FX engine for fundamental customization — attack or decay steered via MIDI CC — and two Pan Steppers
Layers and effectsFour layers of sound with an onboard compressor, delay and hall reverb; each layer carries an independent arpeggiator and two pan engines
InterfaceThe field says users of ELYSION and The Orchestra will find the essential controls in the same places or intuitive to find
HostWorks with the FREE KONTAKT PLAYER; Kontakt version 6.6.1 or higher
SystemsmacOS 10.13 or higher, or Windows 7 or higher, Intel Core i5, 4 GB RAM (6 GB recommended for large Kontakt instruments), at least 2.3 GB of free disc space

Dark Horizon is the ELYSION engine pointed downward. Four modules, 180 themes and one mod-wheel: the same controls that build the pad build the sub underneath it, which is why the field calls the interface familiar rather than new.
