Orchestral Tools Metropolis Ark 1: The Monumental Orchestra



METROPOLIS ARK 1 is inspired by a cinematic monument from 1927 - The first ever epic science fiction motion picture of our time.

METROPOLIS ARK 1 contains a huge Orchestra, Choir, Electric Guitars, Percussion, a Grand Piano and a magnificent Drumset, all recorded with first call musicians at the Teldex Scoring Stage. METROPOLIS ARK 1 features the loudest imaginable dynamics starting from mf upwards to ffff. Everything is designed to be loud, to be bold and boundary-shatteringly epic. This Collection opens a whole new world for Orchestral Tools, who are well known for their Berlin Series, a virtual Orchestra that set a new standard and is used by many high-profile film composers in Hollywood and around the world.

A UNIQUE SOUND There is one vision and everything is built around it: Special sections like 4 Contra Bassoons playing in unison, a Bass Trombone Ensemble, a Cimbasso Ensemble or 12 Basses + 6 Celli playing together in octaves. METROPOLIS ARK 1 includes different French Horn ensembles: A big 9 piece Horn Section for soaring, thick Horn melodies and a smaller 3 piece Horn Ensembles, specifically designed to play chords. Together with uncomparable Powerchords recorded wet at the scoring stage with two different Guitars and a sinister massive Choir singing at the highest dynamics, this Collection will rise your compositions to a whole new level.

A FLEXIBLE WORKING TOOL Instead of pre-mixed sections, METROPOLIS ARK 1 offers pure and unprocessed instrument groups to give you all the flexibility to arrange your own orchestrations. Extensive Articulation Sets additionally offer Swells, Crescendos, Glissandos, 2 different lengths of Marcato, Shorts, etc. on more than 75GB of compressed sample material.

METROPOLIS ARK 1 marks the next generation of Fortissimo and it is a revolution of Epic in one single box.
