Ensoniq ZR Kontakt
Included is the Ensoniq ZR expansion pack designed for Native Instruments Kontakt 3 and 4 software
synthesizers. Each instrument has been scripted to include control knob modifiers to allow for enhanced
expressivity.
Ensoniq was founded in the early '80s by some engineers from Commodore. Ensoniq's first product, a
software drum machine, was aimed at the home computer market. One of Ensoniq's co founders, was
responsible for designing the Commodore 64's three-voice synth chip. In 1982 he designed a portion of a
PC that was similar to the sound synthesizer that ended up in the Amiga. It was this chip, the 'Q chip', that
was used in the Mirage, the world's first affordable sampler and the ESQ-1, Ensoniq's wavetable
synthesizer. Later came the MR and ZR workstations. The Ensoniq ZR Kontakt library is a collection of
multiple instruments that were included with the ZR76 keyboard. Ensoniq sound designers used the
content that had been collected for the samplers. Special note - A Kawai 9ft Grand has been substituted
for the Perfect Piano due to license restrictions.
