Orchestral Percussion: The Modern Composer's Essential Toolkit
Elevate your symphonic productions with Orchestral Percussion, a meticulously crafted collection of classical instruments for SampleTank and Miroslav Philharmonik 2. This comprehensive library transcends traditional percussion offerings, delivering unparalleled realism, playability, and audio quality.
Beyond the Ordinary
Orchestral Percussion takes core percussion instruments to a new level. Experience the majestic power of full-range, dynamic timpani, the awe-inspiring presence of a massive 36-inch gran cassa drum, and the unmistakable punctuation of symphonic gongs and piatti cymbals. This library also boasts meticulously detailed articulations on three distinct classical snare drums, along with nuanced variations on sleighbells, tambourines, triangles, castanets, and more. Each instrument is meticulously captured with multiple round robins, ensuring natural and expressive playback.
A Legacy of Cinematic Sound
Orchestral Percussion builds upon the success of IK Multimedia's acclaimed Cinematic Percussion library, a mainstay in film, television, and pop productions worldwide. These two collections are designed to complement each other seamlessly, offering an unrivaled treasure trove of percussive possibilities.
Unmatched Realism
Orchestral Percussion places realism at the forefront. The timpani, the heart of the collection, were recorded in a top Hollywood studio using premium Neumann® microphones. This meticulous approach captures both the presence and subtle ambience of these instruments, ensuring they integrate flawlessly into any production, from classical concertos to epic film scores to modern pop tracks. For enhanced realism, multiple timpani drums are strategically placed within the stereo field, providing natural separation and depth.
Beyond Samples: A World of Performance
Orchestral Percussion goes beyond static samples. This library includes over 400 audio loops and 100 MIDI patterns, covering intricate rolls, dynamic crescendos, and other nuanced performances. These elements can be used directly within SampleTank or Miroslav Philharmonik 2, or dragged into your DAW timeline for further customization.
Unleash Your Creative Potential
Orchestral Percussion is more than just a classical library. Its carefully voiced instruments possess a presence and punch ideal for pop, hip hop, and even EDM productions.
