Features
-
The premise of Instant Orchestra is to make orchestrating easier, with minimal effort and without the complex hassle of sequencing and setups.
-
The collection provides a practical shortcut towards orchestrating; anyone can create extraordinary orchestrations quickly and inexpensively. Sketch creative ideas and concepts at a moment’s notice.
-
Go from small to massive orchestrations very easily, with little loading and instant results.
-
This library does not assume any prior knowledge of scoring music or orchestrating.
-
Consists of various sections of a symphony orchestra playing in unison, in octaves, and tutti.
-
These instruments can be homogeneous or combined with various instrument families to achieve a desired sound.
-
Focus is on consonance, harmony, and euphony – where instruments play together and in concert.
-
Includes many orchestral special effects in strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion. Effects consist of glissandi, rips, weird clusters, harmonics, textures, aleatoric sounds, instruments playing in non-traditional ways, and techniques that cannot be created with individual samples.
-
The focus is on dissonance and atonality. These inharmonious textures are performed by different sections of the orchestra, and are valuable sounds for film, television, and game composers.
-
Includes a collection of useful, pre-configured instrumental combinations tailored for certain moods.
-
Ensemble presets give you a quick and easy “head start” to setting up a group of instruments.
-
These useful presets are ready to go and range from intimate to monstrous, spooky to sublime, and can evoke many emotions.
-
Ensemble Manager makes it easy to load pre-configured and user-created templates.
