Created with Berklee

Berlin Orchestra (by Berklee) was created in close collaboration with Berklee College of Music—the world's preeminent college for studying music. At Berklee, students experience all aspects of the music industry—from performance and composition to teaching and management—through a rigorous interdisciplinary curriculum.

With this comprehensive sample collection, Berklee and Orchestral Tools have produced a tremendous educational and creative resource that can complement any academic music program or individual course of study. And we plan to continue our collaboration with more initiatives to support students and new composers.

Full compositional palette

At Berklee, this orchestra is the curriculum. And we've made it available to the world, so all composers get a comprehensive orchestra to write with. Build your composition skills by working with both solo instruments and full sections. For example, you don't get 'horns'—you get 4 separate solo horns plus a horn ensemble, each with its own specific articulations. Write with individual voicings and blend instruments to create unique sections. Explore the character of each instrument and ensemble, and hone your craft.

In situ: Everything in its right place

All instruments were carefully recorded at the same natural gain levels, with musicians located in traditional orchestra seating positions. Strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion all blend naturally, in perfect balance. You gain a true, authentic, and immediate representation of your orchestral composition, right out of the box.

Instruments and sections:

• 5 string sections and 5 first chairs solo strings.
• 12 solo woodwinds.
• 11 solo brass instruments and 2 ensembles.
• 7 solo percussion instruments, 3 collections.

The essence of the Berlin Series
Berlin Orchestra: Created with Berklee is derived from the acclaimed Berlin Series—the most comprehensive,
integrated collection of sampled orchestral instruments available. All Berlin Series libraries
were recorded with the finest musicians, in situ, on the same Teldex Scoring Stage in Berlin.
Designed for complete consistency across the series, all Berlin Series libraries play together
perfectly, enabling you to seamlessly incorporate new sounds and customize your virtual orchestra
for each project.
