The evocative sound of a unique music culture, bridging a thousand years from the ancient to the contemporary. Tallinn features the world-famous Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and Tallinn Chamber Orchestra plus two organs—all recorded in the iconic Niguliste church. With a pure, wintry, ‘Nordic’ sound, Tallinn is equally well suited to early music as to contemporary minimalism and avant garde, adding distinctive textures to dramatic scores, underscoring, and any other expressive compositions.

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.

Note: external reverb was used on this example. Example is using a pre-alpha of the library (cellos are not as far along).

Don't Go

New spiccato example from Voyage development. 

Very early, rough version of one of the NEW cello spicc patches (there are multiple types). Along with another type of bass spiccato (also very early). These particular bass spiccatos are rather clumsy and were re-recorded, so they do hold back some of the nimble nature of this demo a bit. Dynamic xfades and timing isn't finessed yet for the cellos. 

I suppose I'd call this spiccato style "motion spiccato."  It's a bit more cohesive and connected (for between-pitch material as well, though this is a challenge) - it has a long way to go still, but it's a step forward from the more basic spiccato patch in the library. If I were to re-record this vc patch I would have gone for slightly higher hand position (the A-String on cellos is a predictable issue, among other things), but there's a good number of shorts patches to choose from and a variety of options. I might re-record this particular spicc style for vc, but we'll see - no promises.

As of posting this, longs in the strings are up to 15 dyn and shorts up to 13 dyn. EDIT: 14 dyn on shorts.

No processing, EQ or verb on this example. There are a LOT of harmonics, noises, as well as a degree of "pre-note" (as some people call it) on these particular shorts (and the library as a whole), so if you are particularly sensitive to those things you'll definitely want to avoid this library. Those things are part and parcel of capturing from performances (especially the particular, faster performances I'm having them do in some cases), and oftentimes basing the sampling process around "how can I get the cleanest recordings" compromises the performance.

All subject to changes.

Voyage - Vc+Db Spiccatos (VERY early PRE-alpha)

Note: NO external reverb, EQ, or processing was used on this example, aside from panning the close mics. Featuring an alpha version of ABP-Soloists, supplemented by a pre-alpha version of Voyage Strings (including harp). Voyage Percussion also makes a brief appearance.

Close mic mix for ABP-Soloists was not yet finalized in this track. Final product contains a slightly different close mix.
