We also added 6-player ensemble trailer drums and hand percussion patches with the v1.1 update.
WINDOWS SOUND SCHEMES SYMPHONIC PATCH
The drums, cymbals and auxiliary instruments are combined in one simple GM-style patch to minimize your track count. Standard hits, rolls and other unique articulations are included. PSS also offers 23 essential tonal and atonal orchestral percussion instruments, sampled in up to 7 dynamics with 5 round robin for both left and right hand (where applicable). Our 24-piece choir features separate Womens & Mens sections performing sustains and staccato articulations in 3 vowels (Ah, Oh and Mm). This allows you to achieve the ideal breadth for your score, be it powerful and dramatic or tranquil and moving. These were not accomplished by layering samples – they are 2 unique sets of recordings, each featuring a different number of players.

To provide you with an additional level of flexibility we recorded our ensembles in two sizes – Full and Chamber. We’ve dubbed this approach “True Ensemble Recording.” The result is a rich, playable patch that’s natural, unscripted and full of life – instantly gratifying and perfect for quickly laying down ideas without sacrificing realism. Instruments play together when their ranges overlap and drop out when they reach their limits (see graphic below). With our players in standard seating position across the stage we recorded the full range of each ensemble in unison, from lowest to highest note. The core of “Palette – Symphonic Sketchpad” are the strings, brass and woodwinds ensemble patches. Since “Palette – Symphonic Sketchpad” was recorded by the same amazing musicians and production team with the same equipment and in the same hall, it was designed to blend perfectly with all the other Palette libraries. The room is spacious but fairly dry, with only a 1.2 second tail, which allows for easy blending with other libraries using your favorite reverbs, so you’re not limited to the sound of one particular hall. We recorded 3 dynamic layers and up to 7 round robins and to give you even more flexibility we recorded everything in 2 different ensemble sizes (chamber and full) so you can go epic or go intimate.Īs with the entire Palette line, our players were recorded in standard orchestral seating position with 3 microphone perspectives – close, decca tree and hall. The orchestral ensembles offer a nice variety of articulations, including 4 kinds of short notes, as well as trills, tremolo, pizzicato, and other deeper techniques. “Palette – Symphonic Sketchpad” is a 26+GB library featuring strings, woodwinds, brass, choir and percussion and to fill out the list of essential writing tools we added piano, harp and even a set of modern trailer instruments.

Since all Palette instruments were recorded in the same hall by the same production team and the same musicians, they complement each other perfectly.

Pick up the tools you want and not the ones you don’t. Then, to add detail and color to your compositions we’ve put together additional tool sets we call “Brush Packs.” Brush packs focus on deeper and more specific scoring elements like orchestral FX, percussion loops or true-legato melodic ensembles. The first is “Palette – Symphonic Sketchpad,” which contains the building blocks to quickly and easily bring your cinematic ideas to life. There’s an awful lot of content here, so to make things more accessible we divided it into multiple products. It was a dream come true for us to make and we hope this expansive set of scoring tools inspires you to write some great music. It was recorded in a dedicated hall with world-renowned performers by a passionate and experienced team of sample makers.
