Orchestral Tools TIME macro KONTAKT

To augment the available palette of sounds with another dimension, Orchestral Tools introduces TIME macro, captured at the Teldex Scoring Stage with the same setup used for the Berlin Series and Metropolis Ark Series. TIME macro is the essence of many concepts and ideas about music in a temporal context. It led us to this extensive collection of inspiring orchestral and choral textures, advanced articulations and dynamic gestures related to the paradigm of time. All recordings are unprocessed, captured with a multi-microphone setup in a perfectly balanced scoring stage.


TIME macro provides inspiring and never before recorded colors that want to be combined and layered. We recorded ten different ensembles:
- High Strings
- Mid Strings
- Low Strings
- High Woodwinds
- Low Woodwinds
- Double Reeds
- Brass
- Harps & Vibes
- Women Choir
- Men Choir

ALTERED TIME
In the “Altered Time“ section, we play with the definition of time. Time can not only go forward with constant speed. Playing back articulations backwards or playing them back slower is the concept defining the „Altered Time“ instruments.

TIME ORCHESTRA
Within the “Orchestra“ section, we offer combined and production ready patches like Full Orchestra, Brass & Strings, Choir & Strings, Woodwinds & Strings. All articulations in these sections are an absolutely valuable source of inspiration when they develop over the course of time.

With TIME macro a very special concept came to life It all beginns with the paradigm of time, its implications and source of inspiration, moving on to the selection of instruments, designing and placing them creatively on the scoring stage, all the way to inspiring articulations and textures delivered individually and combined.
TIME macro is the perfect tool for underscoring, sound design and all those moments, where you need those special sounds standard orchestral samples are not designed to create.

HIGHLIGHTS
TIME macro is separated into three types of articulations:
- Long sustained textures that have a sense of subtle forward movement
- Pendulum Swells - the movement of a pendulum transformed into dynamic swells
- Rhythmic patterns, which are reminiscent of clockworks
