Garritan Instant Orchestra is a new kind of library, designed to produce orchestral music very quickly and easily. With Instant Orchestra nearly every musician can quickly create Hollywood-style orchestrations, in a wide variety of moods, by writing just a few staves of music.
Orchestration Has Never Been So Easy!
Garritan Instant Orchestra is a must-have library that offers an easy way to make super-quick orchestrations in minutes from start to finish. Achieve the larger-than-life orchestral sounds associated with film, games, TV scoring and music productions! The Instant Orchestra sound library integrates the uniquely powerful and high-performance ARIA Player.
Features include:
Intuitive and Easy to Use
- The premise of Instant Orchestra is to make orchestrating easier, with minimal effort and without the complex hassle of sequencing and setups.
- The collection provides a practical shortcut towards orchestrating; anyone can create extraordinary orchestrations quickly and inexpensively. Sketch creative ideas and concepts at a moment’s notice.
- Go from small to massive orchestrations very easily, with little loading and instant results.
- This library does not assume any prior knowledge of scoring music or orchestrating.
Orchestral Combinations and Groups
- Consists of various sections of a symphony orchestra playing in unison, in octaves, and tutti.
- These instruments can be homogeneous or combined with various instrument families to achieve a desired sound.
- Focus is on consonance, harmony, and euphony – where instruments play together and in concert.
Orchestral Special Effects
- Includes many orchestral special effects in strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion. Effects consist of glissandi, rips, weird clusters, harmonics, textures, aleatoric sounds, instruments playing in non-traditional ways, and techniques that cannot be created with individual samples.
- The focus is on dissonance and atonality. These inharmonious textures are performed by different sections of the orchestra, and are valuable sounds for film, television, and game composers.
Mood-Based Ensemble Presets
- Includes a collection of useful, pre-configured instrumental combinations tailored for certain moods.
- Ensemble presets give you a quick and easy “head start” to setting up a group of instruments.
- These useful presets are ready to go and range from intimate to monstrous, spooky to sublime, and can evoke many emotions.
- Ensemble Manager makes it easy to load pre-configured and user-created templates.
