But as things stand, even with the big players peeling off, a composer/producer/artist needs to make very deliberate choices to avoid Kontakt. In the short term they'd become the place with all the depth, and over the long run they'd fill out their breadth. If I was them I'd be loaning dev support to port halo products from Kontakt and I'd be having serious talks about dealing with whatever hang ups people have about using their platform. UVI Workstation is probably in the best place in terms of a proven cross-platform sampler but.it's held back by no demos and insufficient 3rd party support. There are sure to be a number of yet undiscovered ugly edge cases to be found. SINE is getting updated fairly quickly, but there's no getting around the fact that it's a new sampler. EW Play has improved, but it took years and still isn't a full-on challenger. Kontakt is definitely more mature than SINE, and frankly all of the recent(ish) upstart challengers.

It is based on Capsule and requires full Kontakt or Kontakt Player 5.7.1. One of our favourite articulation is the repetition ( of course, time-synched with the tempo of your project), available in various note denomniations, including triplets and single articulations, with keyswitches from one note duration to another in Multiple mode.Īs for technical details, it would worth mention the fact that library has a whooping 111 Gb of samples, at 24 bit / 48 Khz with up to 47 articulations per section are covered, and the supperb percussion section includes Taiko drums. What we love the most at Ark 3 is the fact that it’s intended to cover arias complementary to those from Ark1 or Ark2, like an “add-on” rather than an “upgrade” and it’s not intended for those looking for an “all around” orchestral library.

Taiko drums are available as both ensembles and solo, the Grand Piano has a wide array of very interesting effects, while the Timpani section is definitely the best we’ve ever heard on a sample library! Ark3 is an add-on to Ark1 and Ark2, rather than an upgrade The library was recorded at the superb sounding Teldex scoring stage in Berlin.ĭistrict 1 – The Beating Orchestra has plenty of rolls ( they are not auto-repeated) and it sounds nothing less than HUGE. The articulations cover both single and triplet upbeats, with various lenghts of crescendo and diminuendo. The submenus called “Districts” are present in this library, too, and there are four of them: District 1 – The Beating Orchestra ( String Quintet being a nice addition to String, Woodwind, Brass and Percussion Orchestras, also Taiko and Percussion ensembles), District II – Percussion Ensembles (Taiko, Percussion, Timpani), District III – Solo Percussion (Taikos, Percussion, Grand Piano), District IV: Orchestral Sections (Highs Strings, Low Strings, High Woodwinds, Low Woodwinds, Trumpet and Horn Ensemble, Low Brass). Ark 2 was more intimate, and it would have been a nice add-on, but Ark 3 is definitely something that we’ll dig in and out for its deeply cinematic pulses and accentuations, available as both loops and single articulations. We loved its user friendly-ness and also the huge sound. I remember buying Metropolis Ark 1 right after hearing it at their NAMM booth.
