Product Description

The Orchestra Complete 3 – New Features – New Instruments – New Presets

“The Orchestra Complete 3” combines the powerful orchestration capabilities that have made “The Orchestra” recognized in the composition community with brand-new articulations and the most effective new features ever. Composing faster, more freely, and more uniquely has never been simpler.

The third version, which includes all three “The Orchestra” expansions, is filled with thrilling potential and power. Among them are “Horns Of Hell”, which features a diabolical “evil brass” section, “Strings Of Winter”, which features a 41-piece string orchestra and captures the wild spirit of nature, and “Woods Of The Wild”, which re-energizes the woodwinds to catch all that is evocative in their breath.

In addition to  these expansions comes the all-in-one package of the base orchestra, a top-quality-recorded 80-piece orchestra with a massive array of articulations and a groundbreaking ensemble engine that has been rebuilt and expanded upon. It’s now simpler than ever to turn your ideas into music.

The Core – The Ensemble Engine

The Ensemble Engine works through a number of independent arpeggiators and velocity envelopes, heavily inspired by the Sonuscore Origins-Series.

Create Complex Arrangements With Simple Chords

Create pulsating rhythms and inspiring full arrangements with simple chords and without the use of any pre-recorded phrases. At the heart of “The Orchestra Complete 3” is the Ensemble Engine, which allows this inspiring dance of instruments and rhythms to unfold before your very eyes with only the press of a chord.

• 3 independent arpeggiators and 2 velocity envelopes can be assigned to create vivid and powerful orchestral voicings
• Create and customize your own patterns through the sequencer designer.
• Load up to 5 different instruments in independent slots and play them together.
• Every slot can be assigned to one of five different modules.
• Assign percussion to the arpeggiator to create pulsating rhythms.
• Voicings selection – Assign which instrument plays which note of the chord to allow for more realistic ensemble sounds. Or you can choose from our 90+ pre-arranged Voicings.

Compose Faster with Full Instrumental Groups

Choose from nearly 700 Presets in Three Categories.

• Orchestral Voicings – Orchestral Voicings include various playable arrangements of instruments that create the fullest and richest orchestral sound.
• Orchestral Rhythms – Orchestral Rhythms presets bring you cinematic and expressive rhythms that take full advantage of the Ensemble Engine.
• Animated Orchestra – Making full use of all the possibilities of the Ensemble Engine, the Animated Orchestra presets are for the most complex and magical musical ideas.

Export Your Custom Performance

Drag and drop MIDI to your DAW. Once you have been inspired by a preset or have created your own complex arrangement, drag and drop your passage right from the Kontakt orchestra nki to your DAW. Unleash the power of the Customizer Engine onto your personal template, change notes, combine different patterns, and make them your own.

Take Full Control Over The Ensemble

Work quickly and intuitively with our straightforward user interface.

On the Engine page you can access all individual controls for each of the five instrument modules. Short notes can be arranged with the arpeggiators, while sustained notes can be shaped with the velocity envelope. Create the orchestral colors as you need them and let the magic happen.

• Arpeggiator – The arpeggiator creates fascinating melodic patterns to give your project a rich and lively orchestral feeling. Change the pattern of the arpeggiator with the rhythm stepper. If needed, you can modify almost every parameter to stay in full control of your orchestral voicing.
• Sequence Designer – The Sequence Designer is included in the arpeggiator. This allows you to create in detail your own musical passages. Instead of following the specific styles of preset arpeggios, create your own and make it as complex as you’d like.
• Velocity Envelope – Shape your sustain sounds with the Velocity Envelope, adding to your sound a recurring dynamic movement from a sustained note. The centerpiece is the envelope shape, which can be drawn freely.

Play Over 280 Instruments / Articulations Freely

Create full and detailed orchestrations from scratch. Play your ideas and your melodies freely with countless single instruments. Included are all standard sections and articulations from a symphonic orchestra, including percussion as well as tonal percussion (Marimbaphone, Vibraphone, Xylophone and Glockenspiel) and as a bonus: choir, piano, cembalo, celesta and a massive church organ.

Pure Performance Legato

With our Pure Performance Legato technology, you can play both fast true legato and staccato runs without any problems, as the engine can distinguish between both articulations without the need for keyswitches. Special attention was paid to the integration of the true legato transitions, fitting each of the more than 400 transitions per instrument independently into the intervals in a way that allows for a very smooth and playable legato.

Ensemble-Multi Patches: Unleash The Full Orchestral Power

Multis take the Ensemble Engine even further toward instant playability and epic sound as they load and layer multiple instances of “The Orchestra”. The easiest way to create complex orchestral arrangements.

There are full playable orchestral multis for single articulations that work perfectly for quick sketching and layering. Orchestral Rhythm and Animated Orchestra Multis combine multiple instances of the Ensemble Engine to create even more complex patterns.

The Samples: Rough, Unpolished And Human

“The Orchestra” was recorded and processed with the intention to sound a bit rougher and more “honest” than the common Hollywood-sounding orchestra vst. It offers an alternative and promises straight and powerful sounds, punch and a vivid musical experience.

The instruments for “The Orchestra” were recorded in Budapest at the renowned Studio 22 in their traditional seating position and mixed and edited with great attention to detail. This way the different sections blend together perfectly in the same room. All essential articulations are available, including playable true legato samples and multiple round robins for short articulations.
