DARK CITY 1
RE-IMAGINED FOR 2026
Urban Tension • Cinematic Textures • Modern Scoring
Enter the shadows of DARK CITY 1, a Hollywood Audio Design original completely reimagined for 2026.
Built from the original DARK CITY sound collection, this new edition takes its cinematic source material and transforms it into a fresh, streamlined Kontakt instrument designed for today's composers, producers and sound designers. The sounds that gave DARK CITY its distinctive identity remain at the heart of the collection — now reorganized into a more powerful and playable creative environment.
From dark melodic phrases and evolving soundbeds to cinematic percussion, echo patterns and atmospheric textures, DARK CITY delivers a broad palette of production-ready material for film, television, trailers, games and modern music production.
REIMAGINED FOR A NEW GENERATION
DARK CITY has been rebuilt around 14 custom-designed Kontakt NKI instruments, giving you immediate access to its different sonic worlds without having to navigate hundreds of individual files.
The melodic instruments feature multiple playable elements mapped across color-coded chromatic key ranges, allowing different phrases and musical ideas to be explored, combined and performed directly from the keyboard.
A newly designed cinematic interface brings everything together with integrated real-time controls for Phaser, Atmosphere, Volume, LP Filter and Delay, letting you reshape the original material and create new variations quickly and intuitively.
