Throw away your preconceptions about rigid one-shot samples and use the Capriccio interface to harmonize, sync, shift and blend each of the 38,000 samples. In Capriccio, we have updated the phrase sampling. Highlights include a Phrase Shift slider, separate volume controls for release tails, and dragging and dropping MIDI files from the score window in the interface right into the DAW. The basic structure of the instrument is the same, using 4 presets, each divided into 3 layers, but Capriccio has a lot of innovations that will make working with this library even more intuitive and flexible. If you are familiar with our previous orchestral instrument “Grosso”, Capriccio’s user interface should look pretty familiar. The library can be very loud and awe inspiring or mildly mood-inspiring. You can use Capriccio as the basis for your composition, or supplement an existing piece using only parts. Each phrase has been meticulously crafted from concept to production and embodied in the final tool to ensure it works as a whole and is used as widely as possible. We had conductor Petr Pololanik, who pushed himself to the limit with his orchestra for these recording sessions, and the resulting energy, drive and power really show in every sample. We also included a jogging instrument with strings and woodwind parts, a gorgeous and highly playable multisampled percussion patch, and a melodic percussion instrument containing a xylophone, glockenspiel, trumpet bells and piano phrases.Īll phrases for Capriccio are in 4/4 meters, with straight eighth and sixteenth notes.An energetic library of cinematic samples based on orchestral phrases.Ĭapriccio is our largest orchestral collection, both in terms of physical size and sound, it’s just … BIG!
