Zero G release Nostalgia Reborn - Celebrates company’s 20th anniversary - Published 2/2/26



In celebration of their 20th anniversary, British sample library and virtual instrument experts Zero G have released a special-edition version of one of their popular early products. Nostalgia Reborn brings together more than 4500 samples drawn from over four decades of electronic instruments, delivering an all-in-one genre-spanning collection that promises to fit into just about any modern production.

Originally crafted by the much-missed programmer synth enthusiast Steve Howell, Nostalgia brings together an array of classic instrument samples that Zero G say “represents over 40 years of electronic instrument history, distilled into one definitive Kontakt library.” The collection includes everything from lo-fi beatboxes to Prophet pads and strings, Moog basses and leads, electric pianos, quirky toy instruments and more, all of which come packaged in a new and improved Kontakt GUI.

Key Features

• Over 1100 instrument patches.
• Over 4500 samples.
• Kontakt GUI with easy controls and fully automated MIDI Controllers.
• Fully equipped FX Rack.

Compatibility
Nostalgia Reborn requires the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt 6.8.10 or higher, which is supported on PCs running Windows 7 and above, and Macs running macOS 10.13 and higher. VST3, AU and AAX plug-in versions are available.

Pricing & Availability
Nostalgia Reborn is available now, and is being offered at an introductory price of £38.95 including VAT (usually £48.95) until 19 February 2026. Owners of the original version can upgrade at a discounted rate throughout the introductory offer period.

Wow, Nostalgia Reborn! I still have the old release installed and I think it’s wonderful (I continue to use it to compose game music to this day). Although the old interface gives the impression of offering more control because of the number of parameters available (even if at times it feels a bit clumsy), I find it very appealing when a company revisits a release and makes it more interesting by offering new control options, greater playability, and more modern features overall. I hope that’s the case here!

It’s been quite a journey: congratulations on Zero-G’s 20th anniversary!

 

I still use the old one, it's useful sometimes when looking for specific vintage sounds. Very curious how the revamped version turns out.
