The Sound Board

[quote]With Berlin Orchestra Inspire 2 you get access to a whole new world of selected orchestral colors from the Berlin Series and our Metropolis Ark range. The collection is specifically designed for atmospheric and emotional writing. It consists of two main types of instruments:

First, we have a sections folder with individual orchestral sections and solo instruments. Here you can find different Flautando String Sections, Solo Strings, Solo Woodwinds, a Horn Ensemble as well as Percussion, Keys and a Harp Ensemble. As a highlight you will find a beautiful High Choir consisting of Women and Children.

In the Orchestrations folder, you have access to carefully mixed orchestral sections, which give you beautiful melodic and harmonic colors right out of the box. We created stunning blends of our instruments for instant inspiration and common orchestral combinations.

There are those situations where you have to sketch out a full orchestral piece in a very limited time.
With our Inspire Range this is possible in an easy and instant way. The perfectly balanced sound of the Teldex Studio Berlin allows the focus on composing without spending time in adjusting the sound.
Everything sounds right - out of the box.

With it’s resource friendly footprint, BOI2 is completely usable mobile on a single laptop. No matter if you use Berlin Orchestra Inspire 2 on its own or together with it’s predecessor, you get access to a huge collection of standard and advanced orchestral sounds right at your fingertips.
All Instruments are balanced and pre-mixed in a single stereo mixdown channel! Berlin Orchestra Inspire 2 offers direct and easy access to orchestral scoring - Wherever Inspiration hits you, be prepared.

The product looks interesting on a number of levels. You get some Berlin woodwinds (which I'd sort of like) but no flutes, no clarinet. It's a teaser in certain ways, like a number of other fairly reasonably priced collections from good companies.

I bought Ark 1 and was surprised to find that the main thing I use it for is the choir and female solo legato, which I REALLY like-so I tend to listen through to these demos for the gems.

Am I the only one to find that video rather strange?

Nope ...

Yeah, it's a silly trailer imo. Apart from both portentous and pretentious, if its saying anything is that Inspire is there for you wherever you are, whenever inspiration strikes. If its a phone app, that makes sense, but not really a Kontakt library. Don't know about you, but I actually don't have Kontakt on me 24 hrs a day.

Anyway....
