Hi everyone - Happy New Year!
We're pleased to announce the release of our new library, World of Tape. Made in collaboration with musical sound designer Emiliano Melis, the library features a range of tape loops and textures made with a fusion of classic analog synthesizers and contemporary...
So we have now found out that not only Vista Strings are coming soon, but also LASS 3.0 (Modern Scoring Strings ) and Cinematic Studio Woodwinds.
We have heard demos from CSW and Vista and most agree they sound excellent. A lot of people love Lass , so the sequel looks like it should be a...

EDIT: after posting, I found out this library will be updated in the coming weeks and I WILL revise this review where necessary after the updates. Contrary to what some people assume, I really do want to love this library/plug-in and am genuinely happy they are releasing these updates!

Greetings everyone,
I am new to this forum and posted in the wrong discussion channel. I thank you for taking the time to read this post and appreciate any input you may have.
I like Ludwig Göransson music in Mandalorian and new movie Tenet; I also like scores like Bear McCreary in the show...
Hi friends! In today's library look, let's dive into Orchestral Tools' newest product in collaboration with Jeff Russo: Modus. If you're into Star Trek or Jeff's work, I think you'll find a lot to love in this library. Enjoy!
Hi all! This little piece came about while experimenting with the first Modus beta a while back. It's all Modus aside from the tubular bells and timpani, which come from Berlin Percussion. Tried to use as much of Modus as my skills would allow without being too long-winded.
Just like the...
We are excited to announce that our two most popular libraries, Midnight Grand and Woodchester Piano, are now compatible with the free Kontakt Player.
What does this mean?
You no longer need to own the full version of Kontakt to use these libraries. Additionally, both libraries will appear...
I'm looking for a Bass Guitar Library that includes Double Tracking.
It would also be nice if the Library includes Distorted and just slightly amped Bass Guitars.
Hi,
Firstly , I realise that a lot of extremely talented composers only use 16GB or less Ram on a modest system and produce incredible results.
Those lucky enough to have a much more powerful setup , what would be the core libraries you would have to use for production music if you only had a...
Hi everyone,

Hello,
Is there another sample library (preferably orchestral) that have smart voice split feature like session horns and session strings?
Here's an example:
Thank you.
Hi all. Just wanted to share my official demo for the new Arkhis library from Native Instruments & Orchestral Tools. The textures are so incredibly beautiful and inspiring. Definitely recommended for any fans of the TIME libraries from OT. I also used tubular bells and timpani from Berlin...
I hate to be mean, but someone has to say it. Most sample library review videos on youtube are useless. There are exceptions, and I don't want to name names, but I can't be the only one who thinks this, surely? If you're going to make a sample library video on youtube, make it a demo or a series...
I believe there are five main frontiers in orchestral sample library realism. Essentially, these are the big dead giveaways that you are hearing samples rather than the real thing. These five things still need improvement and will define future big innovations in future sample libraries.

Well actually I think I have an answer after a night of scouring the web for demos: most of the demos i found are either not very helpful for the type of music I want to write with them right now (more traditional orchestral stuff) or they are simply horrible demos. Aside from a few short and...
Hey there,
I am happy to announce Fragments, a free virtual instrument for Kontakt with various Organic Synth sounds, that have been created using various Synthesizers. Most of the sounds have movement within themselves so most of the time tune/pan/volume drift to achieve that fragile tone...

I know this library has been out for almost a year now - but I feel like it's pretty underrated. Especially compared to all the evolution and motion libraries Spitfire has released. For my money, Orchestral Tools really hit a home run with this library. It was a bit left-field for them and I...
Is it just me, or does it seem like sampled trombones have never hit the mark the same way any of the other standard sampled orchestral brass instruments have? I mean, of course it's never the real thing and so on and so on, but to my ears it seems at least trumpets, horns, and to a lesser...
In this video, I provide a basic introduction to SFZ – a free sampling format that provides a lot of the same functionality as Kontakt, albeit with a far more basic UI.
A link to the toy xylophone sample I created in this video can be found in the YouTube video description.

Wanted to make a little track using only sound sources from the 8Dio Studio Percussion Auxiliary library. There are some creative tonal uses of the library, including a pad, percussive melody, and perhaps most interestingly, a bass made from a heavily processed timpani.
