01Overview

Senfine is built around atmosphere. The library combines keys, guitars, orchestral warps, synths and a full drum kit in one Kontakt instrument, so you can sketch and finish deep, emotive tracks without loading third-party tools. Wavelet Audio developed its own engine for the library, with features such as a graphical equalizer, an atmosphere designer, macro controls and LFOs. The developer says it is aimed mainly at cinematic ambient and post-rock writing, though it also suits other atmospheric projects. Senfine runs inside Kontakt, which needs to be installed first.

Engine, Workflow and Requirements

Wavelet Audio built the Senfine engine from scratch. Its tools include a graphical equalizer inside the interface, an atmosphere designer, macros that link controls together, and LFOs for movement. The developer notes that the interface is intuitive, though it recommends reading the manual to learn the full range of the engine.

Senfine requires the full version of Kontakt 5.8.0 or higher. The library uses lossless .NCW samples at 48kHz / 24-bit and takes up about 5.94 GB of drive space, with 9.92 GB of original sample material behind it.
