Project Exodus – Free Cinematic Instrument for Kontakt
The library was crafted by Bryan Lake, aka Sound Author, the man behind our insanely popular Project Pegasus sound bank, released in November 2014 and downloaded over 50,000 times so far.
Project Exodus picks up where Project Pegasus left off, delivering an even larger collection of blockbuster movie-style atmospheres, pads, sound effects, and cinematic loops, all packed into a sophisticated, custom user interface for Native Instruments Kontakt.
The short introductory demo video embedded below should give you some idea about the type of sounds that you’ll find in this epic free sample collection.
The library has three subfolders containing soundscapes, instruments, and sequences.
The patches were tweaked and edited with great care, so all that’s left for you to do is load the instrument on your computer and enjoy the ride.
The included patches cover many cinematic pads, huge soundscapes, drones, drum loops, and epic sound effects. The looped sequences are labeled with BPM info for easier integration into your digital audio workstation of choice.
To load a patch, drag and drop the NKI file into Kontakt, or use the built-in file browser.
Please note that the full version of Kontakt is required to use the patches without a time limit (this is a limitation of Kontakt Player itself). The library also contains a set of standard 24-bit stereo WAV files with loop markers, extending the list of compatible software to virtually all digital audio workstations and sampler instruments on the market.

Once again too awesome. Project Pegasus inspired me to create my own virtual instruments by creating samples of chords for each key in 1 octave. Now i have a MULTI PART instrument with 5 layers that have 4 variations over 4 octaves. I could not have thought of this if not for Project Pegasus. If you are interested i will upload.
Thanks analogfrog! I’m flattered that you were inspired by Project Pegasus to create your own sampled instrument, which sounds very interesting. Where can we find it?
THANKS A LOT !
Very Interesting – but the *.nki files do not load under Kontakt 5.5.2 (Mac OSX 10.9.5)! Always get message: “This patch was generated by a newer version of this application. Please upgrade your copy to load the patch”. Any idea? THANKS
I had a similar problem a while back. I had to uninstall Kontakt and download the new version. Worked for me :)
Great sounds Bryan, really useful soundscapes. Thanks for putting these up.
Best S.
