The concept of the ORCHESTRAL PERCUSSION X3M is not only to present various types of orchestral percussions recorded in a dry, still lively room, but also to create more unique combinations of instruments, as well as some new additions regarding sounds and effects.
Our main idea was to record different kinds of orchestral percussion sets, suitable for all kinds of dynamic music and especially cinematic music.
The library has several dynamic levels (from very soft ppp to explosive ffff) and has several cyclic cycles (this means that each instrument is assigned unique samples that change each time you press a key). We also included new and not yet sampled instruments, such as Orthodox church bells, as well as instruments of different sizes for the bass drum and two timpani for maximum flexibility.
