flute.) It included the majority of the obvious instruments one might want to choose, and some obvious articulations with key-switches, plus a nice graphical user interface, but I found its default patch setups were not what I wanted, or how I wanted to play from an 88 note keyboard.
Sound quality wasn't that amazing - many of the presets on my Kawai MP8 can do a better job (eg.

The one you're thinking about with the built-in sampled live phrases might be "Best Service The Orchestra" ? but IMHO the user GUI interface is a rather weird on that one.Ī while back, I fancied buying one and picked up "UVI Orchestral Suite" (on a whim - it was cheap, and only 4GB download footprint, and ran smoothly in the familiar UVI player engine I already had installed with Ravenscroft and TrueKeys, and used familiar iLok / hard drive authorisation) but I was pretty disappointed with it to be honest. Have a look on Try-Sound (if you haven't already) as they have quite a few orchestra libraries you can try for yourself, not just under category "Full Orchestra", but also under "Strings" and "Brass and Winds" too. I may upload later some recent work I did with EW HOD. My current study program is to transcript Haydn strings quartets.īut in order to be a composer you also have to learn harmony - counterpoint, and I believe that any composer in the 21 century should know jazz harmony well also(although not every contemporary composer really goes through this path). Hear an ear transcription I did for some film music, as an exercise(sounds from EW HOD):īut this is not really part of my current study program, I did it for fun. The next step is to to transcript by ear orchestral music, I'd start with small chamber music.īut real orchestration has a lot more than that, while MIDI productions has other stuff you have to learn that have nothing to do with real orchestration.

And you have to recognize when you hear a full section and when you hear solo instrument(but that's easy IMO).
Note that many times one voice comes from more than one section. If you get to a point where you listen to a recording and you recognize what voice comes from what instrument\s, you are in a good position. for that I sometimes listen to solo pieces just to be more familiar with the sound of some instrument. What you do have to do in order to be good at both, is to listen a lot to orchestral music, and start to recognize the sound of the individual instruments. Real orchestration and orchestral MIDI mockups is completely different. IMO you don't have to know real orchestration in order to do orchestral MIDI mockups. Does anyone know the name of that software? Any other recommendations? Also, I remember I've seen demos of a VST some years ago whose name I can't remember but the more distinguishing feature was that it's not simply a bunch of orchestra instruments controllable through MIDI which would always sound artificial but also contained numerous phrases with articulations typical for each instrument which sounded like a real orchestra.
I am a total newbie and so I ordered Rimsky-Korsakov's Principles of Orchestration book but also wondered what VST would be as close to recreating a real symphonic orchestra in order for me to test the theory and experiment myself? I see Garritan have some orchestra VST-s and they make the excellent CFX so I think I might try it. And while I have a ton of jazz theory books, most of which concerns harmony which is easily testable on a piano, the symphonic music is also a lot about orchestration. In the list of my never ending new interests and hobbies here's another one I've become more and more interested in symphonic music for the last 5-10 years to the point where that entirely replaced my interest in jazz.
