Eduardo Tarilonte NADA Meditation Sounds £179

Meditation music uses an eclectic but focused sound set. Will this new sample instrument trigger your inner creative flow? Let’s find out

If you produce soundtracks, work in sound design or just like basking in the glory of beautifully recorded sample sounds, then it’s highly likely you’ve encountered one of Eduardo Tarilonte’s sound libraries. The Spanish native has an excellent ear for what works in these sorts of productions and always delivers something slightly unusual but at the same time eminently usable. What’s more, the recording and programming quality is always top notch. Packages such as Celtic ERA, ERA II Medieval Legends and Shevannai The Voice Of Elves indicate his eclectic tastes, and those tastes take another interesting turn with the arrival of his latest release, NADA Meditation Sounds.

“You’re actually looking at quite specific instruments and sounds from a broad range of sources”

Tone poem

Taking its name from the Sanskrit word for ‘sound’, NADA Meditation Sounds mines that rich seam of new age sounds suited to yoga, meditation and general chill-out activities. The 14.5GB library includes 440 patches and over 9000 samples and, much like Eduardo’s more recent libraries, uses Best Service Engine (VST, AU, AAX and standalone) sample player. This may not be everyone’s first choice, but the underlying software, which is based on the Independence sample instrument, is an incredibly flexible and proven multitimbral instrument. What’s more, the Pro Edit screen provides plenty of options to edit patch playback, including modulators, envelopes, filters, insert effects and more.
