CineOrch is an orchestral mockup enhancer for the professional composer.
We hired a world-class 70 piece orchestra in a gorgeous space and sampled an enormous variety
of chords, in major, minor, augmented and in a variety of inversions and articulations across
the spectrum. In addition, we grabbed full orchestral tutti octaves, and lush low muted warm
chords. Why record octaves and chords instead of the standard way of sampling?
Short answer: We think it offers an option that is much quicker to compose with, while yielding
remarkably realistic results.
Long answer: One of the main things that makes a mockup sound fake is the layered sample
number. For example, if you have a string patch that has 40 strings playing and you play a 5
note chord, that.s the equivalent to the sound of 200 strings. Not exactly your typical
string section.
To avoid this, you either need an intelligent scripting that splits up the notes of the chord
into their respective sections (like the voice leading engine in VOXOS), or record a large
variety of chordal possibilities and trigger them with single keys, thereby maintaining the
natural instrument numbers and orchestral balance and panning.
We chose the latter, and the result is a composer.s orchestral library supplement that fills
a niche (in keeping with the Cinesamples philosophy).
Tutti Octaves (RR stacc, sustains, p to ff dynamics. Three, Four, and Five
octave orchestral voicings.)
Tutti Chords (RR stacc, sustains, p to ff dynamics, majors, minors, augmented,
each in 3 inversions)
Low Chords (4 chord types: majors with root bass, minors with root bass, majors with third
bass, minors with third bass. p to ff dyn)
Adjustable mapping for all patches
Attack tightening knob (super useful)
Sloppy RR button. For randomly throwing in bad takes (for added realism, very effective)
