Utopia

Utopia is a really fun to use Toolkit for Trance and similar EDM genres. It's great for beginners as it's very easy to use, and also has extensive functionality under the hood for advanced users. There are lots of classic and modern EDM synth sounds built in that are instantly recognisable making this very useful for creating ideas quickly.

Presets are a combination of 2 layered sounds that are changeable, allowing for easy experimentation and inspiration. The FX section allows for building customisable FX chains and has an extensive list of options inc compressors, transient shaper, saturation, etc which can be modulated with the built in Macros, which in turn can be controlled with the built in Sequencer.

I received this instrument for free during a KVR promo and was that surprised how good it was, I felt the least I could do was write a review. For the full price I feel this is exceptionally good value considering it's not just a synth, it's a full on toolkit. If on a budget, with just a DAW, drum samples and Utopia I would confidently say advanced producers could easily make pro sounding EDM tracks. Utopia has more features than what most Trance produces had at their disposal in its heyday so it's just a case of investing the time learning the genre, this toolkit throughout, and you'll be on your way to the land of euphoria.

Easy to use & sounds are nice.
The sounds are drowned in effects (Reverb), just click the FX off button.

Utopia can be used in other genres other than Trance.

The Pad sounds are very good.

It has a very beautiful sound and you can easily add accents. I think this is very useful when you want to change the sound.

Good range of interesting sounds and effects in an easy-to-use interface. A very useful addition to the musician's toolkit.

One more great sounding tool for Kontakt. My favorite tool in my EDM / Trance music writing and producing.

色々不思議な音色が多くて気に入りました。.

最近のお気に入りです。.

Me encantó, tiene sonidos muy frescos. Lo he probado y queda muy bien en el House, trap, drill y hasta meter sonidos en el boombap.

I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. I've used it on several trailer tracks and the sound is incredible! NI has released another great one.

It's packed with great sounds and will give you ideas. I think there is no harm in having it to increase your creativity.

It goes without saying that the preset sounds are of high quality, but every sound is dramatic and wonderfully creative. Thanks for the useful product.

Another great instrument from NI. It really helps in Melodic trance and Orchestral Hybrid. The play series is a great collection of sounds that you can cultivate what ever you are feeling. The interface is easy to understand and there is a lot under the hood. Utopia is another nice addition to my arsenal of sounds.

Este es un gran instrumento. Excelentes combinaciones de sonidos para cualquier proyecto, pop, trap, hip hop, rock o banda sonora. Gracias KVR Audio y Native Instruments.

Espero puedan descargar y usar Utopia.

Another great release from Native Instruments. Great blend of sounds for Pop and discovering a new direction for your music. Loving the Play Series.

An engaging instrument palette that works well in Native Instruments, providing a familiar user experience within this family of instruments. Great addition to Komplete 14 Collectors.

Superb sounds, I love native instruments, i have maschine, i have kontakt, I ha komplete, I FX. All that is the future of sound - today.

Excellent. I've been working on PsyTrance lately, so this kind of immediate sound source is helpful. I can use it right away at work.

I made a trip trough a world of fantastic sounds that will inspire me for many new song ideas.

Thats realy a must have.

Thx for that inspiration pack.

Hi, 3 stars only because of the sequencer, should be improved to be programmed accurately (notes names). I saw better sequencers. Sounds are good.

Estuve trasteando con los sonidos, y hay muchas cosas buenas! De hecho me quede dandole a un sonido secuenciado que me inspiro para empezar una canción.

Great sounds, I like native instruments, because that awesome quality sounds, I use that in every my project.

Qualités des sons vraiment top qu'est ce que ça sonne bien rien a dire franchement .... Une infinité de sons.... Parfois en fin de session je le démarre juste pour écouter les beauté de certain presets ... Top !!.

Utopia by Native Instruments, is really good for trance production. A great addition to the play series.

A good Kontakt Instrument for many musicstyles.It's a nice collection of modern sounds.I like the sequences an Basses.

Utopia comes with a lot of brilliant sounds and presets, very useful. Very good quality, very simple to use. A fantastic tool for your project. Great Idea maker.

Besides the samples, people forget there is a nice wavetable engine (1 for part A & B) with some nice distortion modes as well. Along with the effects and the sequencer that are also per part, you can get really creative. And this is with all of the Play Series engines. Highly recommended with you like presets but just want a touch more of synthesis.

Amazing versatile plugin. Able to use for many genres but is very techno based and heavy on the synths for sure.

Got this free to sign up with kvr, honestly it's pretty great, it reminds me of popular techno sounds from the 90s. I mostly write industrial, trip hop, drum n bass and cinematic styles.

Some of these presets are great, highly recommend.

Cool GUI, great set of new sounds to experiment with. will enjoy seeing what i can make out of this as a "for fun" user. thanks.

Great library! I'm having a ball discovering what it can do and there's tons of presets to try.

Great app. Great kontakt library, great deals. Easy to use. Really really great great great great.

Many good! Plugin good! So, Windows 10! I'm interested in your plugins! I'm a teacher and sometimes I give free classes to the community! I intend to teach how to do audio treatment and also music! My version 1.0.

Versions: E.G 1.0.

OS: Windows 10.

Anyway, it's an interesting product, it has several sounds in a well-organized library.

Fantastic Instrument package. It contains a bunch of really interesting sounds (I like it more than play series of NI). I think I will use it in some projects of mine in the near future :).

Un des meilleurs player native instrument, superbe sonorités, pas mal de fonctions, bravo à native et le prix est très resonnable.

Utopia comes with a lot of brilliant sounds and presets, very useful. Very good quality, very simple to use. A fantastic tool for your project .

For sound quality and based on what it is 5 stars. For all the stuff that's locked out on Play Series instruments, 1 star off.

Like most of the Play Series it's a (mostly) preset machine that allows you to tweak the parameters they give you and add some spice if there's an open FX slot. Excellent sound that you expect from NI. Lots of basic tweaks. Which means I'm glad it was free on promo.

All of the presets are (predictable) and designed as, I hope, jumping off points. Or for those newer to electronic noise, a guide to understanding the basics of Kontakt. For anyone used to Full Kontakt, the missing wrench tells the whole story- it is what it is. Many of the presets would be more interesting with polyphonic sequencing, as the "sequencer" is a functional programmable arpeggiator. Combined with the LFO it can get interesting. Otherwise, it's got some solid sounds that come nowhere close to adding anything new to the sonic lexicon.

I own Kontakt and while I appreciate their throwing the play series instruments at Komplete to make it look healthier, I give all the play series a chance and remove 95% of them. That is not to say these are bad products in any way. All the free sample libraries out there these days are a real gift. It would be nice if the sound designers put out something that didn't sound like yesterday's news. I mean come on, guys, Tangerine dream did most of this in the 70s, and what they didn't Roland put in a ROMPLER.

A good instrument brings new ideas to my creativity. Clear interface, useful settings, high-quality sound.

Works well, a nice and clean user interface. Mostly mainstream synthesizer sounds. It would have been nice if something more surprising had also been found inside. Produces the best results in bright pads with good tweaking possibilities in sounds. Good for dance music and soft pop.

The are a lot more sounds in here than I thought there would be for some reason. May are useful, some are inspirational, while others I may never ever find a use for, but what else is new?

Super .....very good .....very rich sound .....inspiring .....sound for new song .....like it .....

Great little qute rompler! Even though its trance oriented, with some tweaking, you can get a lot of versatility out of it. Yes.

Very Good and well versed sounds for pop and others and having it for free makes it even better thanks KVR :D.

The sounds in this library is amazing! I received it as a free gift on an event. Should give a try.

I received this product for free during a promotion. I'm not into trance (I prefer house/techno) and I have a strong preference for synths over sample libraries/instruments, so I'm a bit unfavourably biased towards a product like this; anyway I think this is a good tool if you want those "cliché" sounds.

I went through all the presets while playing with my keyboard and I was immediately drawn into making trance (or maybe EDM?) melodies/hooks, so I think this instrument does what it's supposed to do. Some presets may have a bit too much reverb for my taste (I didn't look into the controls avaible in the Kontakt instrument, but I'm quite confident it can be turned down), but the overall quality is very good.

Utopia is geared towards trance music, but I think it can be useful also for dance / pop music when some "trance" elements are needed. I think it's one of those "don't mess too much with gear and write actual songs" instruments.

Would I suggest this product? I don't know. I'm biased because I love using the actual synths synths, but if you like working with the Play Instruments serie and you're looking for a one stop shop for those sounds, Utopia may be a good choice (maybe also for people like me who prefer programming their synths: Utopia could be used as a writing tool and then the synths could be involved in a later stage of the production process, when the song has been written).

It's difficult for me to give a rating to a product like this, because it's not really part of my world... I was unsure if giving 3 or 4 out of five (maybe 3,5 out of 5? :P), but my overall opinion is positive, hence the 4.

Also, please keep in mind that I'm somehow spoiled when it comes to gear (especially synths), so my ratings could be different (lower?) from the average user...
