We redefined the way how you mix within a Capsule Patch. With the innovative
Auto Gain
the overall
volume stays at the same level while you morph between the different microphone positions. A feature that
helps you to
keep the natural orchestral dynamics in balance
. Fast tools like the chaining option or the
purge all function will support you to find the sound and timbre to your personal taste in a faster and more
elegant way. Every channel can now be routed to an output of your choice.
To allow all these articulations to stack, switch and morph, we completely overhauled the Berlin Series. A
dedicated team re-arranged the natural orchestral dynamic balance between all Berlin instruments and
articulations, matched the mic position volumes to each other and developed a new approach to set up the
release samples in a more natural and organic way. Now each articulation sits wonderfully and
convincingly in the best-balanced room you ever heard.
One of our key visions for the Capsule is to save time, especially when composers build their own
templates. Capsule‘s
Controller Table
holds all assigned elements and midi controllers in a dedicated list.
Once you have set up a custom controller table, you can save it in a preset on your computer to share it
between different Capsule instances. It has never been so fast and easy to set up your Berlin Orchestra.
Flexibility in Capsule’s single articulation patches is just paramount. Now you can
create your very own
Round Robin rules
. With only one click you can use the neighboring zones to triple the available number of
Round Robin samples to add a more organic feel and to avoid any kind of machine gun effect. Also each
Round Robin can be controlled individually. Turn off specific dynamic layers to adjust the dynamic range to
your needs or apply our new
Niente option
to any articulation, where the dynamic range starts with
completely silence. This is an important feature especially with strings, where a tone can evolve from total
silence as well as for use with a breath controller. Almost every feature here is available for each
articulation in the multi articulation patches as well. But of course, you don't have to change anything.
We
already designed a very playable and optimized setup for you
. Just load a patch and play.
Orchestral Tools is a sampling project driven by a few composers like you with their vision of a growing
orchestral palette. We develop Expansion Sets for all our Main Collections which will extend your personal
library in an organic way.
Orchestral Tools is a growing project
- always up to date. We constantly work
on existing collections to make them even better and to unleash their full potential. Maybe it is the whole
package of an unparalleled sound, innovations, captured details and intuitive handling which has made our
products standard tools for many composers over the world.
