Percussion lost to time In fantasy music composition numerous scenarios exist where standard percussion falls short: blazing metal workshops royal festivities or authentic folk celebrations to name a few. This is where you require drums that not only elevate the scenes drama but also seamlessly blend into the realm for which youre crafting the score. Each instrument in this assortment has been handpicked to cover every possible scenario. Thus regardless of the scoring challenge you possess the necessary instruments to not only enhance the on-screen drama but also immerse the audience in an extraordinary fantastical universe that they must experience audibly to truly appreciate. Creating the beat of an era When it comes to composing the soundtrack for the upcoming grand fantasy or historical saga merely including a handful of period-specific solo instruments wont suffice. To seamlessly blend orchestral and world instruments each instrument must justify its presence in the mix contributing to a vast cinematic sound. In response to this need weve crafted a completely new orchestra that brings together all the required period instruments on a single platform. Command the Mood Every instrument is programmed with three moods on a scale from most authentic to most cinematic: Classic Soft and Epic. You can rotate through these different qualities to suit your needs (the choice will typically be a no-brainer) and fill in the exact fantasy percussion sound you hear in your head. The Classic MOOD delivers the signature sound of previous Hollywood libraries offering a softer sound thats ideal for slower emotional passages and solo pieces. Turn it up to 11 with the Epic MOOD setting and unlock a more aggressive and punchy sound that could be the remedy for action-packed adventure scenes or high-speed chase scenes. OPUS Engine control Bigger and better than ever each instrument in the Fantasy Percussion collection is performed through the new OPUS Engine. Designed to offer complete control over your instruments the OPUS Engine is comprehensive but also fast and efficient. CPU-optimised it allocates computer resources effectively for smooth performance. Capable of loading multiple stacked instruments you can define octave and key ranges trigger actions and much more all without overwhelming your CPU. Customisable key switches can be created letting you build a personal performance instrument creating multi-articulation instruments with various options for on-the-fly changes. Additionally you have full autonomy to adjust the level and pan of four distinct mic positions including close mid main and surround giving you complete jurisdiction over the sonic dimension of your compositions. All while being wrapped in a high-resolution and fully scalable interface.

Three Gran Cassas: Extending the low end of your orchestra three Gran Cassas have been meticulously sampled adding a signature bass drum sound thats found in many traditional ensembles. Recorded with a variety of hits and tones this provides much more versatility than traditional rounded and mellow orchestral bass drums. Three large Taikos: Recorded in an ensemble to enhance the glorious bassy rumble that these drums are famed for this tight-knit ensemble delivers the classic thunderous sound heard in video games and film scores everywhere.

One Ceng Ceng: Splashy and resonant this Balinese cymbal is softer than their Western counterparts making them ideal for background ambience without introducing the normal harshness of cymbals. Crotales: Tiny chromatic cymbals that fuse the characteristics of a glockenspiel and wind chimes — these instruments are excellent for maintaining a slow dignified tune and provide an enjoyable divergence when combined with wind and string instruments.

One Krakeb: Castanets hailing from North Africa bear a striking similarity to the ceng ceng in terms of tone but they carry a rounder sound and are lower on the pitch scale. The unique hollow sound they produce distinguishes them from other cymbals introducing a gentle airy touch to the percussion ensemble. Metal Shaker: Driving rhythms forward its dispersed and soft sound provides the airiness and high-end counterpart to a main drum ensemble.

Orchestral Bell ensemble: A more conventional instrument chimes have been included to add a sprinkle of magic and mystery to your compositions. Orchestral Metallurgy: An assembly of large metals scraped hit and pounded to create a series of intense industrial noises; if youre seeking the echo of a forge or production line from a far-off world this is precisely the method to achieve it. Snare ensemble: Any percussion suite wouldnt be complete without it a modern snare drum ensemble. Effectively conveying the scale and grandeur of any scene the snare drum ensemble paints the picture of armies leading into a battle unlike anything else.
