01Overview

Eclipse is a sample-based library from Muze that runs inside Kontakt. Its presets cover textures, synths, pads and bass sounds, and the developer positions it for soundtracks, cinematic music and trailer-style hybrid sounds. The library totals 10.9GB, with the samples losslessly compressed, and it was recorded using both analog and digital equipment. Eclipse is built around a layering engine, so you can combine sounds within a single patch.

Sound Design Tools and Effects

Eclipse includes 14 built-in effects, among them a compressor, delays, reverb, limiter, cabinet, gainer, rotator, stereo panner, chorus, phaser, flanger and 3- and 5-band EQ. Each effect can be customized in the settings, so the processing can be shaped to suit the sound you are building.

The layering engine works with a sound browser and the effects section. Together these let you stack and process multiple sources in one instrument, which suits hybrid patches that mix pads, synths and textures.

Presets, Samples and Library Size

The library contains 864 presets across textures, synths, pads and bass, drawn from 25,920 samples. At 10.9GB with lossless compression, it requires substantial disk space. Muze describes the interface as easy to use, with a large number of settings for customizing each instrument.

Because Eclipse loads inside Kontakt, you need the full version of Kontakt. The free Kontakt Player is not compatible.
