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

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

The 2nd audio demo reminds me some WWII movies, old James Bond films and peplums.

 

Didn't had the money for Berlin Woodwinds... Berlin Strings neither... I wish I had it for Berlin percussion, but not.
I will not have the money for this.
I hate money.

 

If I buy this library, you could use a pirate kontakt ?. O libraries also have to be broken to open them with kontakt?

(Sorry for my bad English)

 

Hey Noelia!

Yes, if you buy this you can use it with a cracked KONTAKT version. As long as the cracked KONATK meets the version requirements. I looked but couldn't find what KONTAKT version you would need, but I suspect it's a least 5.5.

 

Ok, Thanks DFox

 

+1. Money sucks monkey balls, and the greatest paradox worthy of a master troll is the fact that you need to have a lot of it in order not to be bothered by it. Sounds ridiculous, but when you think about it, that's the way it is.

Long story short - fuck money.

But back on topic, the first demo sounds just magnificent. Reminds me of the soundtrack of Thor: The Dark World, and since that's Brian Tyler at his finest, that's a damn good thing.

I'd rather spend it.

 

Spitfire Albion ONE to God: (SAOTG) -Why my God? Why did you made me like this?
God to Spitfire Albion ONE: (GTSAO) -Because you are British me child! You couldn't possibly ever be called FINCKENSTEIN STRINGS or WOLFENSTEIN STRINGS!
SAOTG -But I have names like sable and Mural. All fine names!
GTSAO - shush. Go to the corner.

And that's it. I see Spitfire Strings in the corner. Crying.
The clarity of this is beyond any thing I've seen.

I will have to buy this, and be spanked by my wife.
That's Ok.

 

I love this comment very much lol. It seriously does hit the nail on the head. And so does your first one. Lol.
Some things are worth getting spanked for, m8. But if you sit back and let it slip away, you won't ever get it. Go buy it.
I just bought it the other day. Dude, you'll love it dearly if spitfire and others aren't enough for you. You will not regret it. It's simply marvelous! It's like the solid answer to the wait for a legit-sounding orchestral instrument.
