Sample Libraries

Available for free to existing users, Lux Orchestral Strings 1.1 adds a vast collection of new recorded material and articulations, and focuses on three important aspects of modern cinematic scoring: rhythmic motion, evolving textures and playable runs.

The third instalment in Sonora Cinematic's Transfigured Orchestra series delivers a versatile collection of brass sounds that range from “quiet, intimate tones to bold, majestic textures”.

In the latest expansion of their Symphonic Elements series, UJAM have introduced an all-new vocal instrument created using samples from Hans Zimmer’s orchestral library.

Available in four versions, Komplete 26 delivers everything from virtual synths and orchestral sample libraries to high-quality mixing and mastering processors, and as you’d expect, offers tight integration with NI’s hardware controllers. 

VSL have recently introduced some new free expansions for two of their most popular Big Bang Orchestra Packs.

Arturia’s latest Augmented offering combines a set of six Persian and Middle Eastern instruments with a wealth of modern synthesis tools that make quick work of crafting expressive cinematic soundscapes. 

The first library update for Tonalic introduces a range of flamenco, gypsy, indie pop, Latin and jazz performances courtesy of renowned session player Julian Coryell. 

LUX Orchestral Strings Elements gives composers a chance to try the library out before purchasing, but comes kitted out with enough features to program a full string arrangement.

UJAM’s latest announcement sees the company ‘open up’ the development platform that has powered their own product catalogue, along with releases from the likes of Avid, Reason, Loopcloud, The Crow Hill Company and others. 

The latest instalment in VSL’s Synchron Series line-up captures the sound of a faithful copy of a François Étienne Blanchet harpsichord.

Rather than faithfully capturing an acoustic instrument, The Crow Hill Company's latest release uses sampling to invent a completely new one. 

Morphology Evolved is the next-generation version of the company’s Morphology instrument, and complements its original sound set with a new synthesis architecture, modern effects processing and an expressive new morphing system.

The latest library to join Best Service’s ever-growing range includes four solo wind instruments that capture the spirit of traditional music from Armenia, Persia, Turkey and the Middle East.
