Symphobia 4: Pandora

Give your action, sci-fi, and horror scores a blockbuster boost with the fourth volume in ProjectSAM's Symphobia Series. Symphobia 4: Pandora lets you summon rousing cinematic risers, rolls, crescendos and more from over 140GB of orchestral ensemble recordings, powered by the innovative Adaptive Sync feature that seamlessly blends samples into your cues.

Pandora offers a vast selection of big & bold, playable ensemble articulations, ranging from cellos and basses to a massive 30-player low-range Tutti Orchestra. For all crescendos and swells in there, Adaptive Sync is ready to assist by quickly and effortlessly matching the library's collection of carefully orchestrated articulations and effects with your music. Play a sample at any point in a bar, and the sample will line up so that it lands right on the downbeat of the next bar.

Harness strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion to generate thrilling scores with powerful, fully customisable orchestral-based sound design tools. Make your own mark on articulations by controlling microphone channels and percussion layers, with additional envelope and mapping controls. Each patch is its own playground, whether it's a ready-made Combo that layers together individual articulations or a driving, rhythmic Pulse instrument recorded as idiomatic clusters and tonal notes.

Further editing potential exists within Pandora's waveform control. With length and dynamics locked, you can directly manipulate a selection of the mapped samples and customise your preset waveform. Jump-start sample positions, reverse playback, reverse sync to downbeat, time-stretch and more. Finally, an Effects module offers an entire set of carefully-tuned controls, such as a synchronised stutter effect and a pitch envelope. Snapshots are available for a selection of instruments, offering inspiring effects presets as starting points.
