FIRST REACTIONS

  • Nervous about the purchase because of the price; but took a leap of faith and BOY did I hit a home run!!!
  • Perfect for a starting library or idea sketching. Good enough for full productions, with only a handful of limitations.
  • I am a huge fan of Sonuscore libraries; not only do they sound great, but they also have one of the best workflows on the market.
  • Awesome.....must buy! And ordered 😉 Could not resist.
  • The Orchestra is an all-in-one epic orchestra encapsulating the same easy one-finger workflow from their other titles, making this perfect for those wanting to get up and running quickly with some rather convincing sounding pre-scripted arrangements.
  • I have a lot of other full realistic libraries but this looks fantastic for what I would use it for. Well done Sonuscore, and for the light footprint too!
  • FAN TAS TIC !!! The sound is epic . All in one toolkit. Ostinatos are top quality. Must buy!
  • A great orchestral library with all the essential instruments and articulations you expect (and some you don't) with a such a small library size
  • I just got the Orchestra 20 minutes ago and holy S**t.. This is library is insane..seriously
  • Small footprint, small library size (6GB+), and the sound quality is comparable to other instrument software. I actually complete a full 6:20 score in 3 DAYS!!!

THE IDEA BEHIND “THE ORCHESTRA”

With THE ORCHESTRA, Sonuscore brings to life a simplified approach to orchestral composition,
giving you both innovative tools to create quick ensemble sketches
with minimal effort or write complex orchestral arrangements in all detail.

Paint your orchestral canvas in as broad or as detailed strokes as you want.

Your ideas, your music – all in one instrument.

THE CORE – THE ENSEMBLE ENGINE

The Ensemble Engine works through a number of independent arpeggiators
and velocity envelopes, heavily inspired by our Sonuscore Origins-Series and perfectly suited for an orchestra library.

Create pulsating rhythms and even inspiring full arrangements from any combination of notes. All of this without relying on pre-recorded phrases – you have the full control in this orchestra library. It will work, no matter what chord or note you play. With minimum loading times, a vast amount of presets provides you with full ensemble colors right out of the box.

 

Independent arpeggiators and velocity envelopes create vivid and powerful orchestral colors.

Load up to 5 different instruments from the orchestra library at once in independent slots and play them together.

Every slot can be assigned one of five different modules.

COMPOSE FASTER WITH FULL INSTRUMENTAL GROUPS

With this orchestra library, choose from 192 presets in three categories.

Orchestral Colors
The Orchestral Colors presets are practical combinations of instruments that can be played live on your keyboard.

Orchestral Rhythms
The Orchestral Rhythms contain simple, useful playable patterns for separate sections of the orchestra that make use of our Ensemble Engine.

Animated Orchestra
The animated orchestra presets go even further, and create complex orchestrated rhythms from any played note. This is where the magic happens!

SAVE & SHARE YOUR OWN PRESETS

The Orchestra 1.1 introduces a new simple solution to save, organize and share user presets for the Ensemble Engine.

Watch the Quick Tip

TAKE FULL CONTROL OVER THE ENSEMBLE

On the Engine page you can access all individual controls for each of the five orchestra library instrument modules.
Short notes can be arranged with the arpeggiators, while sustained notes
can be shaped with the velocity envelope.
Create the orchestral colors as you need them and let the magic happen.

ARPEGGIATOR

The arpeggiator creates fascinating melodic patterns to give your project a rich and lively orchestral feeling. Change the pattern of the arpeggiator with the rhythm stepper. If needed, you can modify almost every parameter to stay in full control of your orchestral color.

VELOCITY ENVELOPE – SHAPE YOUR SUSTAIN SOUNDS

The Velocity Envelope adds a recurring dynamic movement to a sustaining note. The centerpiece is the envelope shape, which can be drawn freely.

PLAY THE INSTRUMENTS FREELY

This orchestra library allows you to create full and detailed orchestrations from scratch.
Play your ideas and your melodies freely with the single instrument patches.

orchestra library articulations

Aside from the Ensemble Instrument, THE ORCHESTRA also contains 88 single instrument patches for all standard sections and articulations in a symphonic orchestra, including percussion and as a bonus: choir.

 

THE ORCHESTRA FAMILY – CONTENT

 

OR UNLEASH THE FULL ORCHESTRAL POWER
WITH ENSEMBLE-MULTI PATCHES

Multis take the Ensemble Engine even further toward instant playability and sound
as they load and layer multiple instances of THE ORCHESTRA.
The easiest way to create complex orchestral arrangements.

There are playable full orchestral multis for single articulations, that work perfectly for quick sketching and layering.

Orchestral Rhythm and Animated Orchestra Multis combine multiple instances of the Ensemble Engine to create even more complex patterns.

THE SAMPLES : ROUGH & EDGY – NO POLISHED SOUND:

THE ORCHESTRA was recorded and processed with the intention to sound a bit rougher
and more “honest” than the common orchestra library’s Hollywood sound.
It offers an alternative and promises straight and powerful sounds,
punch and a vivid musical experience.

The instruments for THE ORCHESTRA were recorded in Budapest at the renowned Studio 22
in their traditional seating position and mixed and edited with great attention to detail.
This way the different sections blend together perfectly in the same room.
All essential articulations are available in the orchestra library, including playable true legato samples
and multiple round robins for short articulations.

WHAT THE PROS SAY

  • Alexander Röder (Award-winning Composer)

    Injustice 2 (Warner Bros. Games), Champions Of Anteria (Ubisoft / BlueByte), Hitman (SquareEnix / IO Interactive), The Lion's Song (Mi'Pu'Mi Games)
    "The Orchestra is a really well sounding orchestra-library that makes a lot of fun. On the one hand it’s beautiful inspiring and on the other hand it’s a time-saver in a rough composer’s everyday life. The Orchestra is a sort of instant-well-sounding-arrangements."
  • Alex Pfeffer (Award-winning Composer)

    Harry Potter And The Deathly Hollows (Trailer), Pacific Rim (Trailer), Wolfenstein - The New Order, Crysis 2, Halo Legends
    "What I really enjoy is the fact that The Orchestra itself can be composed with phrases and even very complex patterns by MIDI events."
  • Benny Oschmann (Award-winning Composer)

    Angry Birds Toons (Rovio), Hitman Absolution (SquareEnix / IO Interactive), The Book Of Unwritten Tales 2 (King Art)
    "The “Orchestral Rhythms” and the “Animated Orchestra” in the main instrument are real time-savers as you can create very impressive arrangements in a short time. In contrast to phrase-based sample libraries in which the phrases can’t be adjusted – the phrases of “The Orchestra” are consisting of single samples thus they can be completely adapted/edited."
  • I am a huge fan of Sonuscore libraries; not only do they sound great, but they also have one of the best workflows on the market.
  • Maclaine Diemer (Award-winning Composer)

    Guild Wars 2
    "I have to say I'm really impressed! I think this will easily become my new sketching tool. I'm amazed at how deep it is compared to other all-in-one libraries. I had a blast playing around with the different patches and multis, as well as messing around with the envelopes and argeggios and seeing what I could come up with. I think a lot of people are going to be really impressed.“
