Description: Years of work on Ergo Kukke’s Virtual Symphony is the world’s most realistic fully synthesized orchestra with a unique sound and transition from one orchestral section to the next. Yes, you heard that right, these are 100% synths that have been carefully programmed, processed, sampled and brought to you in a more processor-friendly form.
Additional Information :
This instrument will help you get inspired and start your next score, composition or banger and the onboard snapshots will help you do it quickly.
Virtual Symphony will be a perfect tool to use to mainly compose your next piece or use it’s large sound to fill your orchestral space to beef up the sound. The sounds are made to work together or individually and still maintain realistic characters. You have the freedom of combining any orchestral section and manipulate each of such combinations to an extent, never before seen in orchestral music. Build or destroy the sound the way you like.
Key Features:
Independent 3-band EQ, Envelope & Filter Parameters, for each source
Pitch Shifting Controls, for shifting +/- 36 semitones
Source-Specific Panning Controls
Sample Selection Randomization
“Source Movement” Manipulation Pad, controlling the Gain Distribution Ratio
“Filter Movement” Manipulation Pad, controlling Filter Cutoff & Resonance on either all sources, or per-source
“Horizontal”, “Vertical” & “Circular” Modulation Units, for both Manipulation Pads
“Edit Modulation” Menu, containing 4 LFO Modules, for modulating any source parameter, alongside 4 Envelope Modules, for controlling the dynamics of multiple different source parameters
“Edit Effects” Menu, featuring 9 different Effects Modules; Chorus, Distortion, Lo-Fi (Bitcrusher), Replika Delay, Spatial (Stereo Field Enhancer), Filter, Phasis (Phaser), Convolution (Reverb) & Flair (Tuned, Harmonics-Enhancing Flanger)
“Edit Randomise” Page, housing toggles for the randomization of multiple sets of parameters
What’s inside?
9.12GB compressed samples and files
74 Instruments and sections
7 Snapshot categories with 145 snapshots divided into preprogrammed and predesigned Orchestral Combos, Decrescendo Sections, Swells, Perc & Pluck, Thematic, Hits & Shorts and FX
Four Sample Sources to select individual instrument sections from Strings, Brass, Woodwind, Percussion, Plucked or select from individually synthesized Sections. Variations of instruments also included together with, possibly, the worlds largest-sounding Church Organs to add to the big sounding orchestra.
Key Features:
Expand your musical experiments whith not being limited by the playing range of any instrument. The entire keyboard is open for you to explore.
The sweetspot, however, is located around C3 in Kontakt or C5 in your DAW, basically, the center of your keyboard. For bass instruments try playing 3 octaves below that and for higher instruments you can try an octave higher.
The instruments are either sampled in multi-velocity, marked by “vel” or can be made velocity sensitive under the sources ENV tab.
Four Flexible Sample Sources
The four sound sources allow you to layer sounds from Strings, Brass, Woodwind, Percussion, Plucked, Sections and Church Organs. Together they will add color to your next masterpiece.
The controls on each sound source allow you to tailor the sound to your project’s needs, thus making them extremely effective. These include EQ, Envelope & Filter to mix your sounds and make them unique.
Source Movement’ Manipulation Pad
One of Virtual Symphony’s interesting features, the “Source Movement” Manipulation Pad, permits for control over the four sound source gain dynamics to morph or fade inbetween them.
Continually shifting the focus of your orchestral layers, the produced sound will create movements not possible with traditional orchestras.
You can easily change how the sounds mix with each other with the onboard controls and tailor the result to your specific needs.
Filter Movement’ Manipulation Pad
By allowing for the modulation of the filter cutoff frequency and resonance of each audio source independently, ultimate control over the timbre of each layer is now possible.
This control over tonal dynamics massively increases possible sound outcomes for interesting and unique sound.
When combined with the already impressive freedom of the “Source Movement” Pad, the possibilities truly are infinite.
Edit Modulation Menu
Virtual Symphony has four LFO’s and four ADSR Envelopes with various Sound Source parameters to choose from.
Whether you want control in your hands of how the sound moves and behaves or you want to be surprised by the Randomise function, these tools are there to add dynamic character to your sounds.
Nine Included Effects Units
The nine built-in effects can be used to further mix the sounds or add delicious flavors.
Whether you want to thicken up the sound, add distortions or widen your sound, these effects are extremely useful tools at your service.
Edit Randomise’ Page
Randomisation can spark infinite ideas and get a new track started, so we made sure that the randomising engine changes parameters and values that make the most inspirational sense.
The randomization menu puts control in your hands, so you can choose what you would like to change on a sound.
System requirements: KONTAKT FULL (version 6.7.0 or higher).
