  This very complex yet compact and user-friendly sound library set new standards for symphonic samples. Enjoyable and easy to use with expanded capabilities thanks to the advantages of the newest software developments. Extensive use of key switching and direct-from-dick technology. New programs with multiple layers and instantaneous access to dozens of instruments and playing techniques. This library contains Solo- & Ensemble Strings.

  Peter Siedlaczek´s 5star winning "Classical Choir". Just when you thought it couldn´t get better, it did! This section contains over 100 singers, sampled at each semitone from aaa to zzz, men, women, mixed choir, bass, tenor, alto, soprano. Fantastic falls, swells and choir voice effects. Whether you want a perfectly realistic choral sound or you are creating new sounds, these samples provide the user with perfect material with which to work.
• Orchestral Colours:
  Peter Siedlaczek´s, Orchestral Colours created a new trend - the use of prepared, skilfully arranged orchestral building blocks. The result is a colourful mixture of hits, finales, passages, layers, atmospheres - a collection of ´mini-works" which are playable in any key! The incredible tonal richness of a symphony orchestra, its expressiveness, dynamic, or its "power", makes it the most mighty and versatile body of sound. lt is no wonder that orchestral sounds have become an obligatory part of every collection of samples.

Reviews

Computer Music 09/2008

This 11GB library from sampling legend Peter Siedlaczek is made up of a number of previous titles, some of which date back as far as the early90s. The move to the Kontakt Player 2 engine makes these patches more usable, though, adding new features like pitch/time manipulation.


The Advanced Orchestra section comprises a plethora of instruments with keyswitched articulations, trills, crescendos and so on. Classical Choir provides ‘oohs’, ‘aahs’ and some less common vocal tones, while Total Piano includes typical and prepared instruments. Smart Violins has loads of phrases, run and even ‘disco licks’, and Orchestral Colours features orchestral phrases, finales, cadences and hits. As an all-round solution, this is
excellent. It’s good value and not too resource-heavy either.

Rating: 9/10
