#MELODICS PRICE SERIES#

“The Palette series so far is a superbly integrated set of orchestral samples. It covers the foundation with Symphonic Sketchpad, adds the lyrical aspect with Palette Melodics, the flare and flow with Palette Runs & Arps, and the final touch with Orchestral FX.” I honestly feel that this is one of the absolute top collections for composers of Orchestral & Cinematic Music. Don’t get me wrong, I knew it was good…but I had no idea it would be THIS good. “Palette Orchestral series was a huge and wonderful surprise for me. Sliders for dynamics, expression and instrument-specific articulations Release volume, round robin and velocity curve controls MELODICS GUICustomizable articulation control system Since “Palette – Melodics” was recorded by the same amazing musicians and production team with the same equipment and in the same hall, it was designed to blend perfectly with all the other Palette libraries. The room is spacious but fairly dry, with only a 1.2 second tail, which allows for easy blending with other libraries using your favorite reverbs, so you’re not limited to the sound of one particular hall. For the combos we added a second close mic (4 total mics) so you have some control of each individual instrument. Our soloists were recorded in standard orchestral seating position with 3 microphone perspectives – close, decca tree and hall. The instruments feature up to 12 common articulations (most include 4 different kinds of short notes!) and can therefore also be used for traditional orchestral writing to add unique colors to your compositions. You are not, however, limited to using “Melodics” for melodies.

17 of the 18 instruments in the library have true legato (the exception being our Trombones & Tuba). We felt it was also important to include soloists since they are so often used to deliver a melody, so we recorded 6 of those as well.

We recorded a soaring violin section playing octaves, regal trumpets with horns, playful flutes & piccolo, creepy bass clarinet & contrabassoon octaves, a gigantic and downright frightening low strings & low brass ensemble and many others. We studied the scores of several of our favorite classical and modern film music composers (which was a most enjoyable exercise!) and selected 18 of the most evocative melody-carrying combinations and instruments. The concept for Palette – Melodics is simple. Since all Palette instruments were recorded in the same hall by the same production team and the same musicians, they complement each other perfectly. This modular approach allows you the opportunity to pick up the tools you want and not the ones you don’t. Then, to add detail and color to your compositions we’ve put together additional tool sets we call “Brush Packs.” These brush packs do not require that you own Symphonic Sketchpad, but focus on deeper and more specific scoring elements like orchestral FX, percussion loops or true-legato melodic ensembles. The first is “Palette – Symphonic Sketchpad,” which contains the building blocks to quickly and easily bring your cinematic ideas to life. There’s an awful lot of content here, so to make things more accessible we divided it into multiple products. It was a dream come true for us to make and we hope this expansive set of scoring tools inspires you to write some great music. It was recorded in a dedicated hall with world-renowned performers by a passionate and experienced team of sample makers.
