"Just some basses and celli from Areia and otherwise pretty much all SOLO." -Arn

Audio Imperia - SOLO: Going Places (Dressed) by Arn Andersson

Audio Imperia - SOLO: Tech Demo - Solo Strings by Jean-Gabriel Raynaud

This one is PACIFIC for strings, AWP for the solo flute, a bit of ABP-Soloists and a custom solo bone patch for brass, the solo strings here and there are from a Voyage solo string addendum (haven't decided if I will release these particular solo strings), and the percussion is from a pre-alpha of Voyage Percussion (marimba, glock, gran casa, shakers, castanets, claves, etc). The harp is one of the harps from Voyage Strings.

These are still the unfinessed pre-alpha Pacific Strings here.

Unlike many of my other demos, this one has some verb and a bit of processing on the top to show it a bit more finalized.

PACIFIC in context of other instruments. Here is a short piece that I did as a speedwrite challenge - verb and proc is included here. Orchestral elements are pre-alpha patches from Pacific Strings, ABP-Soloists, and very pre-alpha patches from Voyage Percussion. Pacific legatos are pre take-selection and pre balancing.

PACIFIC STRINGS in context of other instruments. Proc is included here, but no verb. Pacific Strings, Oceania II, ABP-Soloists, AWP, very pre-alpha patches from Voyage Percussion (including the tonal perc), and ensemble anvils from the upcoming PACIFIC PERCUSSION.

Maximo: Action Packed & Powerful Cinematic Orchestral Sampling
https://www.sonokinetic.net/products/instruments/maximo/?ref=sndcl
Maximo fills a space in our phrase-based orchestral line-up that many composers working in media have been waiting for. Like the old adage, we didn't go home, we went BIG! Our enlarged and expanded orchestra worked overtime to play the biggest, baddest orchestral phrases possible. Not only is the sound huge, but the writing has been tailored to this specific set of instruments. Some phrases were composed specifically using unusual harmonic content like the odd flat 6th and flat 2nd intervals. We created a product that will fit in perfectly with any contemporary writing style. 
Of course all of the stuff you would expect in a Sonokinetic phrase-based instrument is there, so if you've used any of our instruments before you will be able to put Maximo to work right away without any trouble. Within minutes you'll be adding this big amazing sound to your palette. 
Using our midi drag and drop functionality doubling the orchestral phrases with a synth for that hybrid sound has never been easier. The full score is also available within the interface so you can peek under the hood and see what's going on compositionally with the phrases you are using and how the sound coming out of your speakers has been achieved.
Expanding the brass section and having them play their lungs out was a very visceral experience and we think it translates really well to the finished product. The sound has a 'kinetic' strength and brings about a joyous feeling that is hard to ignore. We've been smiling all the way through production with this one!
For the strings and woodwinds the emphasis is on the lower side of things too, with 8 double basses, 16 celli, 6 bassoons and a contrabassoon. We've made sure that the low content has enough pressure and presence to carry a mix all the way through, whatever you decide to add on top.
We, at Sonokinetic BV, are very proud to introduce Maximo to you and can’t wait to hear the amazing things you, our valued customer base, will produce with it.
