Zodiac is a unique-sounding Virtual Instrument designed to provide composers and producers with a collection of original sounds and instruments suitable for film or TV scores, video games, and all types of ambient and experimental music.
No synthesizers were used to create the instruments in Zodiac. Instead, all instruments were created from organic sources such as found sounds, sonic manipulations inspired by classic Musique Concrete, Experimental and Avant Garde Music compositions, prepared or heavily processed musical instruments, and audio recordings subjected to extreme sound design techniques.
Zodiac features over 200 patches and Multis (over 8GB of uncompressed wav data), divided into six categories:
Pads & Atmospheres
Melodic Instruments
Bass Instruments
Percussive Instruments
Experimental Instruments
Zodiac Kits
Zodiac’s instruments range from beautiful and ethereal soundscapes to wildly inventive percussion and mysterious, haunting, atonal and experimental sounds that defy easy categorization. Search through Zodiac’s patch folders, and you won’t find anything like a regular bass, guitar, keyboard, or drum set. Instead, you’ll find a collection of sounds that are quite unlike those made by any standard instrument.

Hi –
This is Steve Sechi of Funk/Soul Productions, here to talk about our newest virtual instrument, Zodiac.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that Zodiac doesn’t sound like any other VI on the market – it’s true. We created all the “instruments” in Zodiac from scratch, using found sounds, extreme sound design techniques, prepared or heavily processed musical instruments, and sonic manipulations inspired by classic Musique Concrete, Experimental and Avant Garde Music compositions. No synthesizers were used for any of the 150+ instrument patches that we created for Zodiac – just real, organic sounds.
Zodiac’s instruments range from beautiful and ethereal soundscapes to wildly inventive percussion instruments, and to mysterious, haunting, atonal and experimental sounds that defy easy categorization. You won’t find anything like a regular bass, guitar, keyboard, or drum set. What you will find is a collection of fresh and original sounds and instruments suitable for film or TV scores, video games, and all types of ambient and experimental music.
Zodiac is also very easy to use. All the controls you need to handle anything from subtle tweaks to drastic changes are right there on the interface. That’s a big help if you’re a composer, sound designer, producer who’s on a tight deadline.
If you’re looking for a set of totally unique sounds for your compositions, we hope you’ll check out some of the Zodiac demos on the Big Fish Audio website.
