REVIEW: TIME CRYSTALS by EMERGENCE AUDIO | Playthrough

Emergence Audio's Time Crystals is a Kontakt-based virtual instrument that transforms the ethereal tones of quartz singing bowls into a dynamic, ever-evolving soundscape. Designed for composers, sound designers, and ambient music producers, it offers a rich palette of textures that breathe and morph in real-time, thanks to its innovative Non-Static Sampling and Infinite Motion Engine 2.0.

✨ Core Features
  • Organic Sound Sources: At its foundation, Time Crystals utilizes 27 meticulously sampled quartz singing bowls, spanning eight octaves. These samples capture the natural imperfections and resonances of the instruments, providing a deeply authentic sonic experience.

  • Infinite Motion Engine™ 2.0: This engine introduces subtle variations in each note, ensuring that no two performances are identical. Built-in LFOs, motion controls, randomizers, envelopes, delays, and filters allow for intricate modulation and evolving textures.

  • Extensive Preset Library: With over 160 presets—including pads, drones, pulses, and keys—users have a vast array of starting points. Each preset is designed to evolve over time, maintaining listener engagement and providing endless inspiration.

  • User-Friendly Interface: Despite its depth, the interface remains intuitive. Over 100 adjustable parameters are accessible without overwhelming the user, making sound customization straightforward.

  • Compatibility: Time Crystals operates seamlessly with the free Kontakt Player 7.7+, requiring approximately 5.97 GB of disk space. It's also fully NKS-ready, ensuring smooth integration with Native Instruments hardware.

The true strength of Time Crystals lies in its ability to produce sounds that feel alive. Holding a single note can result in a tone that unfolds like ripples in water, transitioning from crystalline clarity to ghostly shimmers. 

 This instrument lends itself well to use in documentaries, film scoring, new age compositions, meditation soundscapes, and ambient music."

🧭 Conclusion


Time Crystals distinguishes itself in the world of virtual instruments with its unique character. While its sound may initially seem niche, it effectively captures the ethereal and meditative qualities inspired by quartz singing bowls." I think this instrument would be useful in documentaries, film scores, new age, meditation, and ambient music.
