Native Instruments New Saffron Cinematic Instrument Pack Is Made For Composers

Native Instruments has revealed the first entry for their new Scene Series of cinematic plugins. Media composers will be granted a user-friendly interface centered around an XY pad and loaded with presets and streamlined controls. The Scene Series hopes to give you the tools to efficiently shape the perfect sound for the screen.

Saffron is specifically designed to build tension and make your instruments sound more dramatic. The XY pad makes it possible to blend, and layer orchestral sounds to create unique, atmospheric soundscapes with woodwinds, strings, synths, and more. Whether you are new to composition, or a pro, Saffron offers tons of variety through randomization and over 120 presets.
