Sierras Altas 2 is a cinematic sampled instrument by ZAK Sound, built from 69 sources including pads, keys, strings, synths and hybrid textures. It ships with 89 presets and runs inside the free Raizes Player.
Sierras Altas 2 is aimed at composers and producers working on film, ambient and electronic music. The developer describes its sounds as shaped by mountain landscapes, shifting weather and distant movement, which gives the presets a sense of depth and scale. The range runs from intimate foreground tones to broad, distant environments, so the same instrument can supply a quiet bed under dialogue or a larger emotional voice for a scene.
The instrument draws on 69 sampled sources spanning pads, keys, strings, synths and hybrid sampled textures. The 89 presets cover a broad span of moods, including inspiring, chill, cinematic, sequential and thriller sounds.
Open sustained atmospheres sit at one end of the range, while rhythmic sequences and darker suspense patterns sit at the other. Perspective also varies, from close, detailed foreground sounds to wide, distant textures.
Sierras Altas 2 includes 36 MIDI files. The developer presents them as original musical ideas meant to complement the instrument and give you a starting point.
The instrument installs and runs inside the free Raizes Player, which is the host environment for the product.
