After the ‘bread-and-butter’ tools of Orchestral Essentials 1, Orchestral Essentials 2 was designed to expand your musical horizons, bringing you more colours and textures to apply to more genres and situations. The sounds in this collection were mainly derived from Symphobia 2 and Luminaour Symphobia: Lumina and Pandora libraries, and so have an edge of experimental and fantasy moods.
In OE2, choirs and other mixed patches provide ready-made layers, increasing your textural possibilities for unique results. New keyboards, harps and other instruments boost your tonal range. Meanwhile, 43 Multis and the new Dystopia presets put inspirational orchestral techniques at your fingertips, giving you the inspiration to come up with something truly fresh.
