Sonically, these are excellent, with the pizzicatos coming in for particular praise. The Strings, in particular, offer a good range of articulation types, from the expected sustain and staccato, to pizzicato and tremolo across both major and minor 2nds. Moving to the other sections, they generally offer more on the articulation front, with particular praise going to the full-section incarnation of each patch. There’s plenty of choice here, but mostly in the one-hit department, so you will want plenty of samples to avoid the same usage over and over. Here, there’s a sonic wonder of crescendos and hits, which rise in cavalcades of pitch, in the most modern of soundtrack settings. #Orchestral tools berlin woodwinds complete kontakt PatchThe Staccato patch is open to velocity control, and offers that high-action drama, with the repetition of singular or chordal-based playing, leaving us with the final patch in this section, which is FX based. Employing the usual mod-wheel element to control the dynamics, the brass dissipate away in the lower dynamic range, to leave the strings to shimmer in low-level glory. #Orchestral tools berlin woodwinds complete kontakt fullStarting with the Full patch, there are three articulation settings the first Sustained setting is full of rich timbre, in that very familiar Hans Zimmer sense, with the brass clear and full, as they rise above the strings in volume. I say this, because my general modus operandi is to orchestrate on a part-by-part basis – but patches this good feel like they’re a guilty pleasure, yet oh so good in the correct context. In the Multi corner, we have selections from the Wind, Brass and String departments, with a gratifying Full Orchestra Tutti patch, which is one of those glorious full-on first patches, which sounds so great as it is, you could write something within seconds and not feel guilty about being lazy. The instrumental offerings are divided into Multi and Single articulations, with the instrumentation varying slightly within each section. Our review copy was a pre-production version, meaning that we were working in File mode (the production version will be Library compliant and hence work with Kontakt Player), but sonically, the library speaks for itself. This is where the new Berlin Orchestra Inspire library fits the bill, drawing samples from the main Orchestral Tools libraries, but dispensing with elements that might not be required as regularly as the hardy staples. ![]()
