Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra (SSO) is a free library of sampled orchestral instruments. The original version wascreated by Mattias Westlund in 2011, and quickly earned a following for its excellent quality and wide selection ofinstruments. This repository hosts the ongoing development of the library. Mattias is no longer directly involved(although he has given his permission for continuing to develop it) and has not personally reviewed all of the changes.In other words, don't email him with questions about it!

The instruments are packaged in SFZ format. They can be used with any compatible player, such asLinux Sampler, Sforzando, andARIA Player.

East West Symphonic Orchestra Gold

Over 40 musicians, 20 testers, and half a dozen developers were involved in bringing Chamber Orchestra 2 to life. We'd like to take a moment to hank everyone involved in creating this library and share with you some of our fond memories from over the three years of production. Every patch has a story to tell, like the session pictures below. Mar 21, 2016 I found the Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra plugin, but It has sfz files what seems not to work in LMMS, what is weird because there are videos of people using It. I'm just tired and confuse after a long time trying to make It work. Nov 23, 2016  The entire Sonatina Orchestra created by Mattias Westlund is available as a single Rompler Module. This lets you have a single VST and choose which instrument and articulation you.

SSO includes the following instruments and articulations:

Instruments with multiple articulations are packaged in two ways. Use whichever one is more convenient for yourworkflow.

  • As a separate SFZ instrument for each articulation.
  • As a keyswitched instrument with all articulations in a single file. You can switch between articulations by pressingkeys outside the range of the instrument.

Most solo instruments have three versions:

East west symphonic orchestra gold
  • A non-looped version that simply plays each sample once. This gives the most natural sound, but sets a strict limiton how long any note can be held.
  • A looped version that can be held indefinitely, but sounds less natural than the non-looped version.
  • A looped version that adds a gradual decay and gentle modulation. This tries to give a more natural sound than thesimple looped version, but still not place a strict limit on how long notes can be held.

There are two different solo violin instruments. One has the standard three versions listed above. The other has manymore articulations, but does not offer a looped version. The sustained notes are held long enough that the lack oflooping is usually not a problem.

Free Rhodes VST Rompler RhodeZ by DSK Music is a free Rhodes Rompler (sample-player) with 6 different Rhodes piano variations. The VST plug-in features an amplitude envelope, velocity response, tuning, filter, chorus, flanger, and a reverb (although not a very good one, so you might want to use a VST reverb instead). Warm, shiny realistic and customisable professional vintage electric piano sound with nice special 3D GUI. Like most of NoiseAsh Audio products, this is a Ready to mix instrument. That means your e-piano tracks won’t need to be tweaked hard for modern analog vibe. It can be used in any kind of music that needs piano / electric piano tracks. Mda ePiano is free VST plug-in for Windows PC and Mac. The mda ePiano VSTi is one of the best free electronic Piano instruments currently available. This softsynth is modelled around 31 carefully sampled and mastered Rhodes Piano samples. The last on our list of the 25 best piano VST plugins is The Grand. As with many of the other free piano VST plugins we’ve mentioned, it’s simple, lightweight, and easy to use. The Grand utilizes a sampled grand piano and has 4 velocity layers per note. In addition, it also comes with a typical ASDR envelope and a reverb. It’s only one of many piano plugins that Sound Magic offers, but it’s the only free VST package. Piano One is further crippled by the removal of some advanced sound shaping capabilities of the commercial version, and less sample data than its big brothers. What remains, though, is a solid sounding concert piano.- DOWNLOAD. E piano vst download.

Marcato articulations use the mod wheel (MIDI control channel 1) to adjust the strength of the initial attack. Thislets you smoothly blend between a gentle sustain and a strong marcato. Who invented dev c++.

Technical Details

All samples are stereo, 16 bit, 44 kHz. Most instruments are sampled in minor 3rds. Staccato and pizzicatoarticulations use 2x round robin.

Most samples have only a small amount of reverb baked into them, so adding a realistic reverb is important for producinga good overall sound. Given that the samples came from a variety of different sources, this is also important formaking them sound like a unified orchestra.

License

SSO may be used and distributed under the terms of theCreative Commons Sampling Plus 1.0 license.

Mattias Westlund included the following statement with SSO 1.0 regarding the sources and licensing of the samples:

SSO was created from the following free/CC-licensed/public domain instrument samples:The University of Iowa MIS,MSLP,Philharmonia samples,OLPC project,The Complete K2000,ldk1609 violin,stamperadam Kelon Xylophone,Corsica_S Cello Pizzicato,davidjwoll cymbal rolls,Satoration Castanets,Thores Triangle, Mystified timpani, Eddie's English Horn and a variety of classic soundfonts by Campbell Barton,Nando Florestan, andEthan Winer.

In the case of a few very old soundfonts I have no idea who the original authors were or what licensing might apply.But as these files have been modified by different people and included in countless GM banks and other soundfontcompilations over the last decade, I'm assuming that they are to be considered public domain or at least free to usefor sampling projects.

I have done my very best to avoid samples of questionable legality, but as it is impossible for me to know the exactorigin of everything (i.e. I have no way of knowing if a soundfont labeled as 'public domain' isn't actually sampledfrom a proprietary source), I would appreciate if you let me know if you find anything fishy.
