best service NADA Virtual Instrument for Meditative Sounds (Download) Overview
Available for download, Best Service’s NADA is a virtual instrument, one that comprises strings, winds, percussion, and vocals, all tailored for creating meditative soundscapes. This instrument is suitable for producers and composers interested in creating soothing music for guided meditations and New Age works of art.
At the core of NADA are 440 sounds built from over 9000 samples. All of these samples were selected by Eduard Tarilonte, who has composed other intricate libraries for the Best Service platform. The recordings were all recorded with high-end gear in close miked configurations, to make sure all the nuances have been captured. This allows you to shape the sounds in any way you see fit.
The software requires Engine version 2.6.1 to operate. Once you load NADA in Engine, you’ll see a GUI centering around a lotus flower. With simple controls for Attack, Release, Pan, Pitch, and more, thoughtfully laid out around the central floral image. Other controls, such as Vibrato Intensity and Glide Time, are laid out in an easy-to-access manner.
