Orchestral Essentials

For aspiring composers.

• Full orchestra, string, brass and woodwind ensembles with thorough articulations
• Memorable classical, melodic, and world percussion elements
• Cinematic effects, clusters and hits for maximum impact
• Experience the inspiring sound composers love about the Symphobia series
• Fully updated

ProjectSAM has carefully selected the essentials from each of their products, including the highly praised Symphobia series, True Strike series, and Orchestral Brass Classic, and bundled them into one effective, incredibly versatile package.

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.

All samples have been reprogrammed for the newly designed and intuitive Orchestral Essentials interface.

All Multis are completely new and, because of the inclusion of piano, harpsichord, and harp, are more inspiring than ever before.

This makes Orchestral Essentials a fantastic library for first-time SAM users and existing SAM owners alike.

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.
