Will this instrument work on my system?
Great question! I actually create all my Kontakt instruments on my trusty 2013 Intel iMac 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 with 24 GB Ram. Yep, it’s over a decade old! But there’s a good reason for that. With Open Core Legacy Patcher installed, it’s still a fantastic setup, and it also lets me develop and test on a system that’s often less powerful than the ones many users have. This way, there’s a nice buffer for system requirements, so whether you're using an older or a newer, more powerful setup, it should perform smoothly.
As with all Kontakt instruments, performance depends on the effects and modes used. While I can’t promise perfect compatibility with every system, I can tell you that it runs beautifully on my over-10-year-old iMac!

Beyond its technical capabilities, Arcturus Nano excels in its versatility. While it shines in epic and cinematic compositions, its application extends to relaxation, meditation, healing, and prosperity-focused music. The instrument’s soothing tones and expansive soundscapes are crafted to foster a sense of peace and well-being, making it a powerful tool for projects aimed at promoting mindfulness and positive energy.

Really great work!
It adds such depth and colour without trying to out do any of the other instruments that I have loaded in a composition. I love the fact that unlike other ethereal sounding libraries, the textures continue to evolve and at a much slower pace, not rushing to the peak but rather, casually gliding along.
I’ve only gotten round to using it one project so far, a dark tension piece, but it filled that missing element of mood setting beautifully. I aim to try it in other ambient and mood setting cues, beit contemplative, investigative or more eerie. It’s excellent value and no one can dispute the price for such a high quality virtual instrument.

Arcturus sounds beautiful
With some presets playing slow single notes on the keyboard, you can create at the same time a lead line and a beautiful ever evolving soundscape in the background (especially if you keep the hold-pedal pressed), other presets can be used more as a pad (both with single notes and with chords) or even as a complete soundscape.
If you own the full Kontakt version Arcturus is a beautiful addition to your library, especially if you are into ambient or cinematic music.
Until now I have created one song with Arcturus (paired with some Rigid Audio libraries, a combination that works really well) and more are surely going to follow.
