Don't look a given horse in the mouth and if you do, you will discover lots of fun sounds that you can fit in anywhere whether you are in minor or major. Very nice gift coming with Blackspire! Thanks for that!
Thanks for your review, Sigrid. It's great to hear you are enjoying our free product, Ignis!
Cute dark sounds to incorporate in depressive shoegaze tunes with a fuzzard 7-string down tuned el. guitar. Yes, fun sound this blackspire, I love dark and dramatic and sad and depressive, lol
Hi Sigrid, Thanks for your review, we're so glad you are enjoying Blackspire, happy composing!
Warm en colourfull, is a great addition to my string libraries. But I only bought it after hearing it at a friend. De demo's didn't give a complete idea what the instrument sounds like. Such a library needs a proper walkthrough on youtube.
A pity that the volume is with velocity, I would have preferred CC1. But : a really great library! Good work!
Hi Bald, Thank you so much for your review, happy composing!
Amazingly executed expansion library… however a few additional articulations would have been appreciated. Falls, trills, glissandos….
Thank you, Mamdouh, for your review. We're so pleased you are enjoying Symphonic Cello!
Thanks for the plug in, the plug in is perfect for what I need
Hi William, Thanks for your review, we're delighted that you are enjoying Choir. Happy composing!
I do like it but find the sounds I want to use limited in the piano roll. That has ruined it for me personally but I’m sure I’ll use it somewhere
Hi Frank, thanks so much for your feedback - really appreciate it! Just to explain, the Choir was recorded using a female choir, so the playable key range in the Soundbox preset reflects that. If we extended it beyond the original recorded notes, the sound would start to feel a bit unnatural.
Probabilmente è un mio limite nella conoscenza del Soundbox, ma ho alcune difficoltà a sincronizzare le linee melodiche ritmiche di alcuni pacchetti con il tempo (BPM) che ho impostato nel mio progetto gestito dalla DAW (Cubase) . Mi rendo conto che è una questione propriamente tecnica, ma mi piacerebbe sapere se c'è la possibilità di interagire con il supporto di Kompose per avere una soluzione al mio quesito. Ad ogni modo i pacchetti KOMPOSE sono veramente notevoli, complimenti!!
Hi, thank you for your feedback. So pleased you are enjoying the sounds. Questions relating to Soundbox itself, such as tempo sync etc are best directed to Audiomodern, who develop Soundbox.
Amazing sounds easy to use. Will definitely be purchasing the entire collection.

Given the price, this instrument as wells Symphonic Viola should be graded on a curve. In this way, excellent and no reason to NOT add this to your arsenal of orchestral instruments. Now the caveats of which there are a number:
1) These instruments are not foundational instruments for beginners. You will need to adjust attacks and releases immediately as they are not out of the box instruments. You must have some basic understanding of ADSR and the way the three modes, Mono, Legato and Poly work, If not this will give you machine gun performances emulating the worst of 90s samplers. This could be a good thing, no judgement.
2) Unless keyswitch unlocks under licensed mode, Soundbox as a tool will send you back to the days of 110 tracks top to bottom to get a multi-articulation performance. Again, this is a downgrade if these are your first orchestral instruments.
3) Minus the more reverb layered samples, you can definitely hear the loops on sustains. Theoretically, you would also hear this from an individual playing and then having to reverse their bow on a long sustain but in a section, each individual player would change bow direction at a different time hence eliminating the looping effect. Again, this could be a good thing depending upon what you're after so no judgement.
So if you're at least a novice such as myself and own other orchestral string instruments, these could be a nice instrument for layering beneath other easily accessible multi-articulation instruments but you will need to work at it. Extracting the best out of these instruments is more possible as not so don't be discouraged on taking these instruments into your fold. A new sound is always something worth pursuing.
Hi Wendell, thank you for your feedback. Very much appreciated and so pleased to hear you are enjoying the instruments.

it does the job
Hi Nick, Thanks for sending in a review. We're delighted you are enjoying Brink, happy composing!
Bravo pour la conception et le son
Hi Jerzy, Thank you so much for your kind words, enjoy!
I've used this a few times with Ignis, the quality is great, the sound is amazing, and very useful! It's perfect for composing cinematic tracks or trailers, Kompose Audio really does great job with the instruments!
Hi there! Thank you so much for your review of Adrift and your kind words. Happy composing!
This is a very nice bundle. Easy to use and great sounding!
Hi Bram, Thanks so much for your review, it's great to hear you are enjoying the Strings Bundle. Happy composing!
I use Lumien with Soundbox in Cubase and it works well
Hi Giovanni, thank you for your feedback. Very much appreciated and so pleased to hear you are enjoying Lumen 2.
I find the sounds within Lumen 2 are excellent for the ambient and meditation songs I make. I like how the sounds can be toned so many ways to get the vibe I like!
Hi Michael, Thank you so much for your review, it's great to hear that Lumen 2 is featuring in your work! Happy composing!
The pad is great for meditation mood making, the lead is more punchy and useful in the vast realm of electronica.
Hi Jerry, Thank you for your review, glad you are enjoying Rise. Happy composing!
An orchestral-like delight that would be at home on a Brian Eno track. Excellent
Hi Jerry, Thank you for your kind words, enjoy!
I don't love that a lot of these have multiple pitches in them, which makes them hard to use in anything that's not a pedal tone drone piece on one chord.
Hi Joris, Thank you for your feedback! Lumen was designed specifically to blend chords and single notes into rich, evolving textures—ideal for ambient soundscapes that shift and unfold over time. As stated on the product page, it may not suit every context, especially where single-note precision is key, but we're glad you enjoyed the pad quality and really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
I'm really enjoying it, great sounding and very affordable. Having choirs available adds great possibilites for further creative possibilities and got me inspired right away. Bought a few of your packs right after trying this one, will be back for more.
Hi Jonas, Thank you for your kind words and for your continued support. Keep a look out for some excting new releases coming in the next few months.
Very nice sound design. I used this to create a space like atmosphere in my track. More Space textures please.
Hi Rene, Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad you are loving Phase. If you are looking for more space textures, take a look at our Galactic Voyager series for full Kontakt - https://komposeaudio.com/collections/kontakt-instruments. Enjoy!
Really enjoying using your beautifully crafted libraries in Soundbox.
Hi Jeffrey, Thank you so much for your kind words. Enjoy!
This is a steal for the quality of sound, and quality of GUI. It is just as good a something you would pay hundreds for.
Hi Vincent, Thank you so much for your kind words. We're thrilled you are enjoying Choir. Keep a look out for the next installment in our Orchestral Collection launching very soon!
