New Presets & Multis
This newly released incarnation of The Free Orchestra includes all 12 presets that we originally released throughout 2019, as well as two brand-new presets with content from Symphobia 4: Pandora and Symphobia 3: Lumina. The Free Orchestra now also offers a number of Multis, layering the individual presets in different, inspiring ways.
In other words: if you already have the original 12, make sure to get this new release of The Free Orchestra!
Now works with free Kontakt Player
Best of all: The Free Orchestra now comes with a Kontakt Player license! This means that The Free Orchestra can now be used in its intended form, without limitations, by every musician with a computer.
This also means The Free Orchestra now has a dedicated spot in Kontakt’s and Komplete’s library browser.
