EarthMoments最新发布了一款具有神秘古代南印度色彩的氛围类Kontakt 音色库 5Elements，据说其灵感来自于古印度体系认为的构成人类生命体的五个基本元素“地、水、火、风、空”。所采样的乐器均出自Svaram（被联合国倡议的”音乐作为全球资源”所认可的全球首批 50 个项目之一） 的创始人 Aurelio C. Hammer 所研制的特殊乐器 。
Aurelio C. Hammer 是一位音乐家、教育家、民族音乐学家、学者、声音设计师和声音疗愈师。他在世界各地进行过广泛的旅行调研，是世界知名的开发创新乐器的重要先驱，负有远见的聆听者，也是印度整体疗愈和综合瑜伽的践行者。
5Elements音色库采样自Aurelio C. Hammer 研发的8种具有声音魔力的纯手工乐器，此外还增加了一些功能进行增强以发出充满各种频率和层次的声音，从而创造出一种异常生动的、具有沉浸感的音色，绝对是声音设计和影视配乐的完美选择。
5Elements包含的乐器：
Ananda：一种木制弦乐器，正面有4根类似印度坦布拉的桥弦和8根调成五声音阶的琴弦，底部有36根被调成E调的琴弦，能产生丰富自然的和声。
Golden Plates：由黄铜制成的矩形板铃，声音与黄铜铃铛类似。
Healing Bed：一种精心制作的尺寸与按摩床般大小的乐器，配有50根琴弦和一个经由特殊设计的谐振器。
Litophone：由花岗岩制作而成，用精心制作的软木槌敲击演奏。
Octave Tubes：由九个共振金属管组成的阵列，可以敲击演奏、摇摆和旋转，能产生迷人的氛围声。
Silver Plate：一块又重又大的银板，可产生非常持久的实音和泛音。
Singing Stone：一种重达200公斤的石制乐器，演奏前用水浇透，演奏的方式类似于擦玻璃酒杯的边缘。
Tubular Bells：一组大型管钟，基于C-256调音的超过两个八度的五声音阶。
5Elements的每一种乐器都包含几个被称为“子乐器”的演奏风格，例如有弹奏、弹拨、用棒槌或木棍敲击以及预先录制好的乐句。你可以分层和混合两层乐器或子乐器，此外还能进行压缩、均衡和混响处理。
5Elements 还允许你添加能够发出持续低音的双耳差频，双耳差频具体是指两耳同时收听同样强度但频率略有差别的音调，这时人的脑内会感受到一种节拍声。而据研究表明，某些频率是与特定的大脑活动有关的。5Elements中的双耳差频受到了印度古典音乐中传统声音的影响，并且还能为其添加现场录音时的氛围层，以及来自印度南部各地的海滩、森林、村庄、作坊和雨声等环境噪声。
