Orchestral Redux: A Full Suite, Reimagined
UVI sought to push the boundaries on this Augmented Orchestra package, not just at the level of individual instruments, but in ensemble, leading to luscious, imaginative soundscapes. Sweetwater’s compositional experts are impressed with the scope and detail of this sonic library, comprised of over 400 layers of masterfully played and captured instrumentation. Seamlessly blend between classic orchestration and modern sound spaces, enriched with dynamic sequences, pads, chords, and more. Over 100 musicians provided strings, brass, and woodwinds, meticulously recorded across a chromatic, multi-sampled range, with more than 70 hours of audio captured to produce a full scale of playable, orchestral sounds. Hallmark synthesizers, alongside virtual, analog, and digital sound processing, add endless layering possibilities to compose unique, dynamic pieces that are wholly your own.

Meticulously recorded
Augmented Orchestra emphasizes scope to make traditional orchestration and instrumental division just the beginning. Over 62,000 samples have been diligently arranged into over 500 presets, conveniently organized into 10 master categories to help you find the right starting point or take in-engine sounds straight into your composition: orchestra, augmented layers, natural, action, small sections, hybrid, electronic, pulses, ambient, and heavy. Ten cellos and six double basses comprise the low-end strings, with the high arranged via 14 violin ones, 12 violin twos, and 10 violas. Low brass has been arranged with five trombones, three bass trombones, and two tubas, while the highs include four trumpets and eight French horns. Three contrabassoons, two bassoons, three bass clarinets, three oboes, three clarinets, two flutes, and one piccolo comprise the winds from low to high. Each section has also been recorded as ensembles, as well as orchestral FX and chords with 44 strings, 12 brass instruments, and eight wind instruments.
Endless hues for your sonic palette
Discover boundless textural and sound-design possibilities through a blend of digital, acoustic, modern, synthesizers, and more, elevating these virtuosic instrumentals through eight categories. Orchestral instrument tracks have been resampled through half-speed tape recording. Modeled sounds incorporate physical modeling hardware synthesizers to produce additional symphonic augmentations. String machines uses a multi-amp setup with vintage analog FX pedals to record classic string synthesizers. Synth stacks boasts up to eight vintage digital synths, mixed through SSL hardware. Experience deeply processed orchestral and synth instrumentation, with vintage analog and modern synths and FM modulation to explore rich textures and countless waveforms.
Deep, rewarding control
Take the reins of any sound with the intuitive UI, diving deep into extensive modulation and parameter modification, including a multi-source/target matrix driven by two fully editable LFOs and step lanes per part. Crossfade layers manually, or through modulation, to reach new expressive heights and undulating aural landscapes. Hybridized acoustic, electronic, and newly synthesized sounds are waiting to be endlessly reimagined in the powerhouse that is UVI’s Augmented Orchestra.
