Motropolis ark is a collection of orchestral samples for bombastic trailer music (orchestral tools).
GARRITAN INSTANT ORCHESTRA VS PERSONAL ORCHESTRA SERIES
Hollywood series (eastwest) is made for Hollywood "john williams" style. Mural strings and spitfire brass (spitfire) is made for classical music. True legato (sampled legato intervals).Įvery VST has his own target, some examples:
The two can blend together nicely though.Īctually there are lots of good VST, the ones you're listed are outdated or not good. For just roughing out orchestration ideas, I don't find it as fun or easy to use as GPO.
GARRITAN INSTANT ORCHESTRA VS PERSONAL ORCHESTRA PROFESSIONAL
These would be a good choice for folks who want to seriously get into using samples in the professional realm (like for trailers or TV/movies) where quality finished product is really the highest priority. I also have EWQLSO Silver and Gold, and while they sound better out of the box they do require a lot of editing to get the most out of the dynamics and articulations. I'll share it later if I can remember (or send me a PM).
I have some settings, including a verb chain using reaper-only plugins, that gets close to a EWQLSO sounding verb. Reverb and EQ are a must if you want it to sound decent. You can enter notes in by hand, but you'll have to spend more time afterwards editing CC values and such to inject any emotion into it. You'll definitely need keyboard skills though, especially for fast passages. For this reason, it's really the best library for learning orchestration. The cool thing about GPO is that it encourages you to play each instrument by hand, on keyboard with the modwheel for velocity, sustain pedal for legato mode, and once you get used to that method, going through a score track-by-track can be very fast. GPO is good for quick mockups, Instant Orchestra tries to be even better, but it's more limited in it's sound as a result.
GARRITAN INSTANT ORCHESTRA VS PERSONAL ORCHESTRA PC
Unless you have thousands of dollars and a super PC you can forget number 6.Ī real nice collection of classical instruments you will find here. I'm not finding anything relevant on Google. The pattern sequencer sounds like an awesome idea, but seems you need to buy that separately from the VST that has the instrument sounds.Īre there other options now that it's 2016?
GARRITAN INSTANT ORCHESTRA VS PERSONAL ORCHESTRA WINDOWS 8.1
Seems I could buy it on Amazon but not sure if support will be discontinued or if there might be compatibility issues with Windows 8.1 Some say that the limited articulations cramped them too much (and the Gold version is too expensive for me)Īlso there is the USB Ilok, which concerns me as my computer always seems to have USB conflicts!Īccording to some users, the old edition sounds better. Some say the EWSO sounds are the best/industry standard. Possibly the best sound per dollar spent? This looks appealing as it minimises the effort of orchestration, but I have read reports that the sound is not so good as Garritan Personal Orchestra. It seems that you need a separate instance of the SFZ player running for each articulation of each instrument. Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra - Free which is attractive, but I downloaded it and it seems to be just a bunch of free SFZ files (which sound fine) but setting it up with the SFZ player is extremely complicated. I will run through the options with pros and cons I have gathered so far, and would love to be corrected if I am wrong on anything:ġ. I have been scouring the forums, but most threads are old, like 2010 or 2013 however it seems like there haven't been that many new orchestral VSTs released recently in my budget range. What do you use, and what do you like/dislike about it? I'm looking for a decent orchestral VST that is good for Choir and string sounds and user-friendly for someone with little experience in orchestration.
