11 GB collection featuring a Steinway 9-foot CD337 Concert Grand, recorded in the same hall as the orchestral instruments for a perfect mix.
Big Bang Cinematic Percussion
15 GB library of 200 different percussion instruments ranging from classical to ethnic to pure raw power hits.
Each of the 5 collections above is also available and sold separately. Customers who own Eighty Eight or Big Bang Cinematic Percussion are eligible to upgrade at a reduced price.
Each patch and preset is easily playable by virtually any level of performer. All instruments are presented in multi-velocity layers, with natural swells available via the modulation wheel. MIDI key-switching provides on-the-fly articulation changes for select patches. The internal sound engine provides additional modulation (LFO) sources, dynamic envelope control, and studio-grade reverb/effects to allow creative customization of the on-board sounds.
Award-winning engineers Antonio Oliart and John Bono recorded everything at the Futura Productions studios in Massachusetts. Members of the Boston Pops and Boston Ballet Orchestras played all performances with the same instruments they use for their actual concerts. A combination of spot and ambient mic'ing captured every instrumental nuance, while preserving the refined acoustics of the performance space itself. Benchmark-caliber preamps fed premium-level A/D converters to complete a pristine audio signal chain.
The players were positioned using orchestrally-correct seating, and measures were even taken to compensate for the sound-absorption effect of any players absent on that particular day.
"This collection provides an important offering for composers looking to add dramatic orchestration or musical effects to their productions. Of course a beautiful sounding set of instruments came first, but we also insisted the collection be extremely playable so busy composers can get their tracks produced quickly, " said Jennifer Hruska, Vice President of Software Development at SONiVOX. She added, "I'm particularly proud of how these instruments can be used for intimate passages or huge dramatic moments, something most orchestral offerings on the market can't do."
