The Orchestra is an all-in-one 80 player orchestra library whose heart is the Ensemble Engine — independent arpeggiators and velocity envelopes that turn any combination of notes into pulsating rhythms and full arrangements.

It works without relying on pre-recorded phrases: whatever chord or note you play, the engine arranges it. The instruments were recorded in Budapest at Studio 22 in their traditional seating positions, and the field is open about the intent — a rougher, more honest sound than the common orchestra library’s Hollywood polish.

  • True legato interval sampling with multiple round robins for the short articulations

Content & Detail

01What the Field Countsthree categories, all named▾
Ensemble presets192. The field says three categories and then names three — the count and the list agree
Orchestral ColorsPractical combinations of instruments that can be played live on your keyboard
Orchestral RhythmsSimple, useful playable patterns for separate sections of the orchestra, driven by the Ensemble Engine
Animated OrchestraComplex orchestrated rhythms created from any played note
Single instrument patches88, for all standard sections and articulations in a symphonic orchestra, including percussion and, in the field’s own framing, a bonus choir
Multi-Rack patches75. Playable full orchestral multis for single articulations, plus Orchestral Rhythm and Animated Orchestra multis that combine several instances of the engine
Samples and size16,500+ individual samples, 6.85 GB of data, 10 GB uncompressed
02The Engine, the Room and the RequirementsKontakt 5.7.1+▾
The Ensemble EngineIndependent arpeggiators and velocity envelopes, heavily inspired by the Sonuscore Origins series. Load up to 5 different instruments in independent slots and play them together; every slot can be assigned one of five different modules
ArpeggiatorBuilds melodic patterns; the pattern changes with the rhythm stepper, and nearly every parameter can be modified
Velocity envelopeAdds recurring dynamic movement to a sustaining note, around an envelope shape that can be drawn freely
User presetsVersion 1.1 introduced a way to save, organize and share your own Ensemble Engine presets
The roomBudapest, Studio 22, traditional seating positions, mixed and edited so the sections blend together in the same room. Playable true legato samples and multiple round robins for the short articulations
The intentionRecorded and processed to sound rougher and more honest than the common orchestra library’s Hollywood sound — the field calls it an alternative, not an upgrade
HostWorks with the FREE KONTAKT PLAYER; Kontakt 5.7.1 or higher
SystemsMac OS X 10.10 or higher, or Windows 7 or higher, Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon 64 X2, 4 GB RAM, at least 7 GB of free disc space

Choosing rough over polished is a decision no mix can take back. This field makes it in the open: Studio 22 in traditional seating, no pre-recorded phrases anywhere, and an engine that arranges whatever chord your hand happens to land on.
