ProjectSAM Organ Mystique Haunted Church Organ Sound Library
ProjectSAM's Organ Mystique sample collection features a beautifully sampled, intimate and at times, haunted sounding church organ, covering multi-samples of seven distinct keyboard stops, three bass stops and, as you have come to expect of ProjectSAM, a range of unique special effects.SAM Organ Mystique is located in a church near a small Dutch village. During WWII, a German airplane crashed into the church, tearing down the front part and killing brave members of the resistance. Although beautifully restored, some of the walls still bear the scars of this sad, historic day. The villagers say, when the organ is played, you can still hear it weep for the fallen soldiers of 1944.Recordings specs Organ Mystique was recorded in a beautiful small church. Each sample is offered in two microphone distances: close (3m) and far (10m).The organ was recorded at 88.2/24 and is offered to you at 44.1/24. All samples are seamlessly looped and have realistic release decays triggering the natural reverberation of the church environment....details

ProjectSAM Symphobia
The ProjectSAM SYMPHOBIA is not your traditional orchestral sample library. Instead of focusing on individual instrument multi-samples, SYMPHOBIA offers ensemble multi-samples with a rich selection of orchestrations and articulations. These playable ensembles cover all of the sections from the orchestra, as well as the entire orchestra playing together. The reason is simple: the real thing sounds so much better. A staccato note played by violins, violas, horns and trumpets, together, correctly seated at the concert stage, will sound much more cohesive than a mixture of individual sample recordings of these four virtual instrument sections. This makes the SYMPHOBIA sample collection the ideal tool for creating big orchestral arrangements and orchestrations. In addition, a number of individual instrument articulations are available, such as violin section flageolets and horn section marcatos. CINEMATIC EFFECTS The ensemble sounds make up about half of SYMPHOBIA. The other half is all about cinematic effects: performances that cannot be recreated using individual multi-samples. Like the ensemble performances, the effects are available in different orchestrations, played by different sections throughout the orchestra. You will find violin glissandi, as well as full orchestra rips and stabs. Every effect is available in a number of variations or articulations.STRING SECTION SYMPHOBIA delivers a full-string ensemble recorded in a warm concert hall. An extensive Ensemble bank and unique Effects bank are available. The Ensemble bank includes numerous full-string articulations, including tremolo, staccato, pizzicato and con sordino. Other highlights in the collection feature beautiful chord performances, violin section-only articulations and low strings playing in octaves with the contrabasses playing one octave below the celli. The Effects bank includes a wide range of upward and downward glissandi, shrieky clusters, stabs and wild arco/pizzicato textures - priceless material for film and TV composers, impossible to achieve using standard multi-samples.BRASS SECTION Continuing ProjectSAM's orchestral brass tradition, the Brass Section in SYMPHOBIA offers an all-new full-brass ensemble in a number of articulations, including sustain, marcato, staccato and mutes. Also available are major & minor chord performances, different orchestrations of mixed brass instruments and, similar to the strings, low brass in octaves, with the tuba playing an octave below the trombones. All this is recorded live, without any post-production layering. The Effects range from several types of horrific clusters to note bendings, horn rips and wild repetitions. Some effects are performed by the entire brass ensemble, others by one section at a time.WOODWIND SECTION Furthering the concept introduced with the woodwinds from the SAM Exclusives series, SYMPHOBIA offers full-woodwind ensemble samples that include the following instruments: flute/oboe/clarinet/bassoon/bass clarinet...details
