I was impressed by the variety of Score presets and see a lot of potential to use them as cue starters.” “With the help of its Score and Ostinato presets I was able to quickly arrange most of the accompaniment parts of the track, while developing thematic and melodic ideas with the regular patches. “The Orchestrator was a huge time-saver,” Benny said. Sonuscore’s staff composer, Benny Oschmann, wrote the above demo, “Age of Heroes” ( click here to listen to the demo), to display the effectiveness of the Orchestrator and the stellar sounds that come with the new Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition.
This greatly simplifies the process of composing a piece by allowing you to have full control, easily playing the virtual orchestra live, with your own assigned playing styles. You can then use the engine to create your own playable ensemble, complete with different instrument-assignable articulations and modulations. Orchestrator divides the orchestral instruments into four categories: Woodwinds, Brass, Percussion, and Strings. It was a great project and we worked closely together with the OPUS developer team to enable complex and rich scoring experiences for any composer.” What is the Orchestrator?
“We built a Scoring Engine that makes it possible to intuitively play orchestral sounds and arrangements in real time, based on the user’s MIDI input. “Creating the Hollywood Orchestrator for EastWest was of course a great thing for us,” says Tilman Sillescu, Creative Director at Sonuscore. One of those new features is the addition of the Orchestrator, developed in cooperation with the Sonuscore team.
It has now received an upgrade with their new Opus Edition, bringing a whole new user interface, recordings, and innovative features.
For the last several years, EastWest’s Hollywood Orchestra, recorded by the Grammy Award-winning Shawn Murphy, set the standard for premium orchestra VST libraries. How can an already amazing orchestra VST be made even better? The answer didn’t come easy, but the teams at EastWest and Sonuscore managed to do just that. So you dont need to get any physical iLOK dongle if you don't want to.EastWest releases Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition, including the Orchestrator, developed in cooperation with Sonuscore
Personally I decided to go for Spitfire BBCSO I think is great (BBCSO + EWQL Spaces II = )ĮDIT: This iLOK thing in Composer Cloud X is a software solution. By that time it will be easier to get into.
Then later upgrade to something more "pro" like EWQL stuff. If you are an absolute beginner I would rather go for Spitfire Labs or Orchestral Tools Layers (or similar) stuff.
Not to mention Spaces II which is absolutely the best convolution reverb I've ever heard. Regardless, there are also many other tools you get in your subscription that make it totally worth it, even if opt later for other orchestral instruments. Not because of the naming scheme - you get used to that - but IMHO there are big differences between them. That is not to say unusable, but just finding the right sounding articulations is worthy of several hours of browsing. Having used many other orchestral libraries I found this one to be the most difficult to use, although it works great in Studio One. I subscribed to EWQL Composer Cloud X, I assume you are going this route as well?
