Collaborating with names such as Tom Holkenborg, Harry Gregson-Williams, and the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, Orchestral Tools is a small, independent company whose instruments are used by A-list Hollywood composers and underground Berlin up-and-comers alike. When it comes to capturing orchestral music, there aren’t many locations in the world that can compete with Teldex Studio, situated in Berlin. Boasting ideal acoustics for orchestral recordings, it is the largest independent recording facility in Germany, and with a 455-square-metre live room it is almost the same size as Abbey Road’s Studio One.

The relationship between Orchestral Tools and Teldex began in 2012 when the first installation of the Berlin Series ‘Woodwinds’ was recorded there. Since then, Teldex Studio has become the sonic home for Orchestral Tools, and has allowed it to reach new levels of orchestral sampling, delivering rich, detailed, and flexible instrument collections that will add new depth to symphonic compositions. As well as this, the studio has possibly the largest collection of vintage Neumann microphones in the world, making it the perfect space for recording orchestral collections.

Layers provides an easy way to add orchestral sounds to compositions and productions. Recorded at Teldex Scoring Stage in Berlin, the VSTi offers access to sample banks of strings, woodwinds, brass, and full orchestra. The plugin is able to generate full chords with a single MIDI-controlled note, which serves as a creative, inspiration tool, and allows users to blend layers of tonal colour and dynamics.

Features:

  • 17GB of samples (10GB SINEarc compressed)
  • Works with Orchestral Tools’ SINE Player
  • 24Bit / 48KHz Patches
