Orchestral Essentials - the essence of film scoring.

ProjectSAM has carefully elaborated the essence of all of its products, including the highly acclaimed Symphobia, True Strike and Orchestral Brass Classic series, and bundled it into an extremely effective and incredibly versatile product. Even more, completely new instruments that are not included in any other ProjectSAM product can be found in ORCHESTRAL ESSENTIALS.

Update 1.1 also offers the user expanded playing styles and even more instruments! 

Detailed description in English:
Covering full orchestra, string, brass and woodwind ensembles, classical and world percussion, Orchestral Essentials gives you the right ammo to start scoring for film, games or pop with the acclaimed "cinematic SAM sound". For each of the orchestral sections, an essential list of articulations is available, as well as one expressive legato instrument and an inspiring set of clusters, textures and effects. Apart from these orchestral elements, you will also find a concert harp, church organ, ProjectSAM´s renowned Dystopia sound design, and, exclusive to Orchestral Essentials, an enchanting grand piano and harpsichord.

Screen 2

Orchestral Essentials follows ProjectSAM's ensemble recording philosophy. Strings, brass and woodwinds were sampled as sections, as nothing beats the authentic blend of orchestral instruments in a concert hall. ProjectSAM captures this magic in various orchestrations; for example, imagine the noble sound of horns and trombones performing together naturally.

Back in 2002, ProjectSAM set the benchmark for ambient recording and affordability with the release of SAM Horns. Now, ProjectSAM does it again with Orchestral Essentials.
