The harder you press down a key, the harder and sharper the attack.

Virtually all keyboards made today support a feature called “note velocity” or “key velocity” that refers to how hard you strike a given key. Like pitch bend and channel pressure, note velocity has no MIDI CC equivalent. Note: Note velocity is a component of Note On (and Note Off) messages, rather than being a separate data type. It is not necessary for the user to take any steps to activate these extra controllers. Be careful to use only one at a time or the data between these controllers will cause interference.

In addition to the mod wheel (CC#1), Garritan Personal Orchestra 5 will also respond to breath control (CC#2) and MIDI expression (CC#11) to control the function of expressive volume/timbre. Additionally, cymbals, snare drum, and bass drum use mod wheel to control volume of rolled crescendos/decrescendos when the proper note is played.

It is analogous to the air being blown through a wind instrument or a bow being drawn across the strings in a string instrument. It is intended to be used as an expressive controller that is in nearly constant motion shaping the volume and timbre of a passage. Remember that in Garritan Personal Orchestra 5 the mod wheel is not a “set and forget” controller. In the case of a sequencer, make sure to record a nudge of the mod wheel at the beginning of every MIDI track so that Garritan Personal Orchestra 5 instruments will start with the correct volume upon playback. The mod wheel controls the dynamic ebb and flow of volume and timbre changes. In typical General MIDI soundsets, the mod wheel is used for its typical function to add modulation or vibrato to the sounds. Note: Instruments that do not sustain their sounds, such as pianos and drums, follow the General MIDI convention using note velocity for dynamics and sustain pedal for sustains. Especially with the brass instruments, louder levels produce a brighter sound. strings, woodwinds, brass, organ, wind machine). With Garritan Personal Orchestra 5, the mod wheel simultaneously controls both volume and timbre for sustaining instruments (e.g. Normally, this controller is mounted on the left side of the keyboard and is played with the left hand. Dynamics and expression in Garritan Personal Orchestra 5 are achieved through the mod wheel. Without dynamics, music lacks depth of expression.

Every phrase and note has unwritten dynamics and nuances that players interpret. These useful presets are ready to go and range from intimate to monstrous, spooky to sublime, and can evoke many emotions.Įnsemble Manager makes it easy to load pre-configured and user-created templates.One thing that makes an orchestra sound great is dynamic contrast. Includes a collection of useful, pre-configured instrumental combinations tailored for certain moods.Įnsemble presets give you a quick and easy “head start” to setting up a group of instruments. These inharmonious textures are performed by different sections of the orchestra, and are valuable sounds for film, television, and game composers. The focus is on dissonance and atonality. Includes many orchestral special effects in strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion. Effects consist of glissandi, rips, weird clusters, harmonics, textures, aleatoric sounds, instruments playing in non-traditional ways, and techniques that cannot be created with individual samples. These instruments can be homogeneous or combined with various instrument families to achieve a desired sound.įocus is on consonance, harmony, and euphony – where instruments play together and in concert. This library does not assume any prior knowledge of scoring music or orchestrating.Ĭonsists of various sections of a symphony orchestra playing in unison, in octaves, and tutti.

Go from small to massive orchestrations very easily, with little loading and instant results. The collection provides a practical shortcut towards orchestrating anyone can create extraordinary orchestrations quickly and inexpensively. Sketch creative ideas and concepts at a moment’s notice. The premise of Instant Orchestra is to make orchestrating easier, with minimal effort and without the complex hassle of sequencing and setups.
