ProjectSAM
has carefully selected the essentials from each of their products,
including the highly praised Symphobia series, True Strike series and
Orchestral Brass Classic, and bundled them into one effective,
incredibly versatile package. Moreover, new instruments not found in any
other ProjectSAM products have been included.
Covering
full orchestra, string, brass and woodwind ensembles, classical and
world percussion, Orchestral Essentials gives you the right ammo to
start scoring for film, games or pop with the acclaimed "cinematic SAM
sound". For each of the orchestral sections, an essential list of
articulations is available, as well as one expressive legato instrument
and an inspiring set of clusters, textures and effects. Apart from these
orchestral elements, you will also find a concert harp, church organ,
ProjectSAM's renowned Dystopia sound design, and, exclusive to
Orchestral Essentials, an enchanting grand piano and harpsichord.
All
samples have been reprogrammed for the newly designed and intuitive
Orchestral Essentials interface. All Multis are completely new and,
because of the inclusion of piano, harpsichord and harp, are more
inspiring than ever before. This makes Orchestral Essentials a fantastic
library for first-time SAM users and existing SAM owners alike.
Orchestral
Essentials follows ProjectSAM's ensemble recording philosophy. Strings,
brass and woodwinds were sampled as sections, as nothing beats the
authentic blend of orchestral instruments in a concert hall. ProjectSAM
captures this magic in various orchestrations; for example, imagine the
noble sound of horns and trombones performing together naturally.
Back
in 2002, ProjectSAM set the benchmark for ambient recording and
affordability with the release of SAM Horns. Now, ProjectSAM does it
again with Orchestral Essentials.
