Sample Libraries

Rating: ***** 5/5 Stars. Performance Samples’ description of Vista as a ‘larger‑than‑life’ chamber ensemble aptly describes this beautiful‑sounding string library.

Rating: ***** 4.5/5 Stars. Oceania II is not an upgrade, but a newly recorded library with additional features. Its remit is exactly the same: full‑on Mens’ and Womens’ choir performances.

Solo Violin A contains the simplest of instruments: an effective legato violin patch.

The Con Moto Cellos samples are taken from actual performances, the idea being to give a sense of naturalistic movement with dynamic and tonal consistency to played phrases.

Oceania comprises two choirs — men and women — which can be used independently but are at their imposing best when played in tandem.

Caspian: Thematic Orchestral Brass comprises three .NKI patches: Six French Horns, Three Bass Trombones and Three Trumpets, performed by the Czechoslovakia-based Capellen Orchestra.
