03In depth

Sound Library and Preset Content

Enigma's 3.9GB library is losslessly compressed and contains 19440 samples. The 648 presets fall into four groups: synths, textures, plucks and basses. That spread makes the instrument useful for building lead and pad layers, rhythmic plucks, and bass lines.

The developer says the samples were recorded with analog and digital gear, which suggests a mix of hardware character and digital clarity. Because the presets are grouped by type, you can browse by role in a track rather than by genre.

Layering Engine and Built-in Effects

The layering engine lets you stack sounds and shape them together, with a sound browser to find material quickly. Each preset can be adjusted with 14 built-in effects, including compressor, delays, reverb, limiter, cabinet, gainer, rotator, stereo panner, chorus, phaser, flanger, and 3- and 5-band EQ.

The full effects set is available in the settings, so you can customize the processing chain instead of relying only on the preset defaults.

Requirements and Who It Suits

Enigma requires the full version of Kontakt. It is not compatible with the free Kontakt Player. The developer recommends at least 8GB of RAM, with 16GB or more suggested, and an SSD for best results. On Windows, a sound card with ASIO drivers is needed. The instrument is supported on Windows 7 or later and macOS 10.7 or later.

The library suits producers who want a large set of ready-made synth and bass sounds to work from inside Kontakt.
