Horizon Leads is a set of deeply sampled synthesizer sounds treated like acoustic instruments — cinematic synth leads infused, as the field puts it, with the warmth of acoustic instruments.

Pulses, textures and arpeggios sit in 150 animated themes driven by the Sonuscore ensemble engine; beside them are 80 freely playable synth instruments, from ethereal sounds to powerful leads.

At a Glance

  • 80 playable instruments the field states the figure four times: synth instruments twice, lead instruments once, bass-heavy once
  • 150 animated themes across five categories — the field counts the five and names none of them
  • Over 1.9 GB of content and the requirements ask for at least 1.9 GB of free disc space
  • 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
  • Three films named Blade Runner 2049, Dune and Interstellar, given as examples rather than as a closed list

Content & Detail

01What the Field Countsas stated▾
Playable instruments80 freely playable synth instruments, from ethereal sounds to powerful leads
One line that disagreesThe field states that figure four times. Three of them read “80 freely playable synth instruments” (twice) and “80 instantly playable lead instruments” (once); the fourth, in the feature list, reads “80 instantly playable bass-heavy instruments”. The section heading over these sounds reads LAYERED – BRIGHT – POWERFUL, so the fourth statement stands against the other three
Animated themes150, complex, animated and fully customizable, featuring up to 4 fully controllable instruments
Theme categoriesFive, each with its own style and purpose, providing animated presets and poly or mono leads. The field does not name the five
Sample contentOver 1.9 GB; the requirements ask for at least 1.9 GB free
Playable Lead presetsA preset collection the field describes as instantly playable, from soaring synth leads to rich, evocative textures. It gives no number for them
Sound designerTobias Menguser, named by the field
02The Engine and the RequirementsKontakt 7.5.0+▾
Modified ensemble engineThe ELYSION engine, modified: 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 EngineAttack or decay steered via MIDI CC, plus two Pan Steppers
Layers and effectsFour layers with an onboard compressor, delay and hall reverb; each layer carries an independent arpeggiator and two pan engines
Why it existsThe field puts it plainly: Hollywood elite composers reached for synthesizers in groundbreaking productions like Blade Runner 2049, Dune and Interstellar, and this library answers that demand. Three titles are named, and the field’s own connecting word is “like”, which leaves the list open
InterfaceThe field says users of ELYSION and The Orchestra will find every essential control placed where they expect it
HostWorks with the FREE KONTAKT PLAYER; Kontakt version 7.5.0 or higher; graphics card with Direct3D 11.1 support
SystemsmacOS 11 or higher (Intel Core i5 or M1), or Windows 10 or higher, Intel Core i5, 4 GB RAM (6 GB recommended for large Kontakt instruments), at least 1.9 GB of free disc space

A lead is the sound an audience is meant to carry home. This library puts its whole case there: 80 instruments and 150 themes aimed at the melody, on an engine borrowed from an ambient synth and turned to face the front.
