Step back into the evocative soundscape of the 1970s with the AudioThing EKR490. This Kontakt instrument plugin is a beautifully crafted homage to the iconic Elka Rhapsody 490, celebrated for its lush analog string sounds. Whether you're a nostalgic maestro or a modern producer looking to infuse your tracks with vintage charm, the EKR490 offers a rich palette of sounds to explore.

The plugin features two primary voices, Strings and Violoncello, as well as a unique combination that offers a distinct tonal blend, rather than just a simple mix. The result is a versatile instrument that captures the warmth and depth of the original hardware, faithfully recreated through meticulously sampled audio. With its intuitive interface and essential sound-shaping controls, including an envelope with adjustable attack and release, plus a 12dB/oct low-pass filter and reverb, the EKR490 provides everything you need to craft immersive, atmospheric soundscapes.

Designed exclusively for the full version of NI Kontakt, this plugin is not just a tool but a bridge to the past, allowing you to channel the spirits of legendary artists like Jean Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, and Vangelis. Dive into the timeless allure of analog strings and let your creativity soar.
