With monophonic lines, a true legato instrument uses a transitional sample to move from one note to the Monophonic ‘true legato’ should be a familiar concept to any musicians working with orchestral samples, but the possibilities of legato chords may be a new experience. In Orchestrator’s case, the concept is firmly on legato chords – sampled with strings and choir, and wind and brass combinations – alongside other value-added content (some ported from the original Symphobia series) that helps extend the musical potential. With both, the scope is smaller than we’re used to and focuses on a particular technique or facet of the orchestral sound palette.
The Orchestrator Symphobia Colours includes two instruments: Orchestrator, on test here, and Animator, which we’ll look at in a future issue. However, none of the Symphobia instruments have been particularly affordable, but the Symphobia Colours series changes this by offering smaller, more focused libraries that build on the concepts developed throughout the originals.
Having created some of the finest sample-based orchestral instruments of the last 10 years, ProjectSAM has an enviable reputation at delivering a truly cinematic sound, arguably best encapsulated in the company’s excellent Symphobia series.
