Sample Libraries

This module follows the structure and feature sets of the other Dronar modules. Each Cinematic Atmospheres preset is therefore based upon blending up to four underlying sound elements...

Expeditions uses the powerful (and very deep) Kontakt-based front-end that provides loop playback, manipulation, a range of creative effects with sequencing options, and is designed to inspire hi-tech music tracks/cues.

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

Both volumes in the bundle provide a selection of multi-sampled, multi-articulation, virtual brass instruments that are playable in exactly the same way as a conventional orchestral sample library is but are much more suited to soul, funk and pop.

Cinematic Studio turn their sampling expertise towards a quartet of solo strings.

Cinematique Instruments have released a small number of titles based upon the Ensemblia engine, and featuring different niche sound sets, and their latest is Ensemblia 2 Percussion.

Motors is a collection of rhythmic pulse sounds with tools to blend two of these — plus a whole range of sound modulation and effects options — to create all sorts of rhythmic beds.

This exquisitely touch-sensitive virtual instrument comprises over 11,000 samples of what many consider to be the ultimate Rhodes electric piano: the Mark I Suitcase model.

Sample Logic’s latest release, while appealing to media composers, is perhaps more firmly situated on the sound design side of that line.

As a source of very playable — and suitably thunderous — orchestral toms, Cinematic Thunder provides plenty of bang for a relatively modest buck.

Soundiron’s original Ambius release received a glowing review from Martin Walker here in November 2010, since when the concept...

Sonuscore’s new library takes an unusual and inventive approach to the sampled orchestra.

Heavyocity take a fresh approach to orchestral strings with their Novo instrument.

There are plenty of Kontakt-based virtual instruments using sound engines that blend multiple samples. Luftrum’s take on this approach is Lunaris, which offers the user a source of pad sounds.

Electro City is a follow-up to Sample Logic’s Rhythmology. It uses the same Kontakt-based front end to provide loop...

Ancient Era Persia focuses on the Middle East, expanding on developer Eduardo Tarilonte’s earlier Desert Winds collection, and includes all four of the wind instruments contained in that library.

Sonokinetic turn their usual high standards towards something more sinister...

Orchestral Tools add orchestral percussion to their Berlin symphonic project and unleash a second cinematic epic.

NI describe Thrill as a “cinematic tension performance instrument”...
