Programmed specifically for Emulator X and Proteus X
Programmed specifically for the powerful Emulator X/Proteus X sound engine, each of the Modern Symphonic Orchestra's presets is mapped to the MIDI real-time controllers for enhanced expression. The pitch wheel and modulation wheel, and other continuous controllers create various performance effects such as: bend-up/ down, voice switching, chorus, or layer crossfade. Many presets in Modern Symphonic Orchestra include multiple voices for each note. Depending on the preset, when you play a note on your controller, several factors determine what voice plays, including: modulation wheel position, note velocity, keyswitch, cycled or random voice switching.

Multi-sampled presets change articulation at the touch of a key
The Modern Symphonic Orchestra introduces the concept of Flex (or "flexible") Presets. Flex presets are multi-voice, multi-sample presets that automatically or manually switch voices to realistically emulate a performing musician. The flex preset control keys allow you to choose between different up/down bowing patterns for strings, and various tonguing and articulation techniques for woodwind and brass.

Pre-panned setup provides realistic orchestra sound
The Modern Symphonic Orchestra library has been set up so that the instrumental sounds of the orchestra are laid out based on a live performance setup from the Baroque era. While there are many ways to set up an orchestra on stage, in working with orchestral samples, this pre-panned Baroque-style setup works the best to give you the most realistic sound possible.

Complete collection of strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion
Modern Symphonic Orchestra includes the sound of the full strings broken down by sections, each of the woodwind instruments found in a standard symphony orchestra, symphonic brass instruments, and percussion instruments. Each bank features advanced features such as double tonguing, unison parts without phase problems, automatic up and down bowing, and more.

Additional disc of combination presets
The Symphonic Collection Disc is an invaluable composition tool that gives you over 50 plug-and-play combination presets, covering everything from individual instrument sections to the grand "Symphonic Collection" preset that puts an entire orchestra at your fingertips spread over 32 MIDI channels. This bank also includes multisetup presets that allow you to switch different setups by changing the channel on your MIDI controller. For each multisetup preset, there is a setup for each of channels 1 through 32.

Includes Overture 4 SE notation software
E-MU Modern Symphonic Orchestra includes Overture 4 SE, an easy-to-use notation software that is great for demanding composers, arrangers, music educators, and students - anyone who wants the flexibility to create complex musical scores, and do it quickly. Overture 4 SE notation software features a plug-and-play VST host for Emulator X and Proteus X that loads all controller and key switches for the Modern Symphonic Orchestra presets right out of the box. It allows on-screen composition as notation via computer mouse/keyboard; MIDI controller/keyboard; or by importing standard MIDI, Encore, Music XML, and MusicTime files
Overture 4 SE records and plays back MIDI files with record-to-WAV functionality.
