Orchestral Tools METROPOLIS ARK 2 Orchestra of the Deep KONTAKT screenshotKONTAKT | MERRY XMAS | 53.66 GB
The follow-up to the highly successful Metropolis Ark 1 presents epicness in a shape you wouldn’t expect. Deep, wide and low. The true power arises from the low dynamics.
The Mighty High Strings (24 Violins), Mid Strings (10 Violas, 8 Celli), and Low Strings (8 Celli, 12 Basses) deliver so far undetected possibilities for orchestral strings pads.
Unique Brass Ensembles (Fluegelhorns, Wagner Tubas, Bass Trumpets, Tubas, Euphoniums) give the freedom to create extraordinary-sounding brass arrangements.
The Woodwind sections (Alto Flutes, Bass Flutes, Bass Clarinets, Contrabass Clarinets) redefine the classical applications for woodwinds. They go low, really low.
On top of this we made 3 different choirs out of men, woman, and even the innocent voices of children. The full range of singing beneath your fingertips: From the deepest voice of a lord of the underground, up to an angel, whispering on his cloud. Additionally, we created unprecedented sections like the Correns Harps (6 Harp ensemble) and Glamer Pianos (3 Steinway piano ensemble). Topped with a bizarre Harmonium, a Positif Organ, and a lot of useful atmospheric percussion instruments and boomers, Metropolis Ark 2 is the unrivaled all-in-one solution to create epic music at its low dynamic scope.
Loyal to one of the best decisions we ever made: Metropolis Ark 2 was recorded at the fabulous-sounding Teldex Scoring Stage in Berlin.
The distinctive balanced room, which isn′t too wet or too dry, paired with the best microphones that were built across the last 5 decades, invigorates our Berlin Series as well as the Metropolis Ark Series.
CAPSULE, the most flexible articulation management system on the market, is the technical heart of Metropolis Ark 2. Apply legato transitions to every articulation you want, morph and blend between up to four articulations, build your own patches, set up key switches the way you want them, get full control over microphones and panning.
