Refrakt by The Unfinished

Refrakt offers a more modern and creative take on the traditional action score, with depth that resonates from within. With restless energy and visceral power, Refrakt is the perfect soundtrack for action scenes.

The sound effects are pulse-pounding with cheeky basslines that give way to pounding rhythms before derailing into a frenzy or simmering textures on top of growling subwoofers.

Inspiration for Refrakt

The sound of Refrakt is an amazing mishmash that would make any composer or artist proud. It’s made upon influences from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, David Buckley- piping in some minor tones here – to Charlie Clouser for those who like their music dark but not too intense; Ital Tek brought out the chaotic side with his industrial beats while also incorporating something more soothing at times such as flute melodies added into certain tracks–the list goes one infinitely more creatively than this! The list goes on!

Sound of Refrakt

The collection’s focus is on supportive elements, especially tempo-synced patches and low-end sounds. This ensures that your production will have a more balanced sound by providing options for different moods or environments to suit any occasion!

For the Creative

Zebra’s patches are designed to provide musicians with a wide range of performance options and creative output.

The modulation wheel can be programmed using X/Y parameters, which gives you unprecedented control over your sound while also making it easy for beginners because they don’t need any programming experience!

With its rich, dark sound design the Dark Edition is perfect for those looking to make their HZ experience even more special. 150 Zebra2 patches have been reworked and remixed into something entirely new with an emphasis on tone rather than frequency range or complexity – it’s still got that signature harshness but now you can experience it at full brightness too!
