E-MU's Modern Symphonic Orchestra offers a comprehensive collection of symphonic orchestra samples on 5 DVDs - all meticulously sampled and programmed for just the right expressiveness in each recorded note to convey a truly realistic feel. Together with the included Overture 4 SE notation software, E-MU's Modern Symphonic Orchestra offers a total "plug-and-play" soundset for your Emulator X and Proteus X. <BR><BR><strong>A New Level of Realism</strong><BR> The 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. <BR><BR><strong>Advanced Sound Design</strong><BR> 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, modulation wheel, and other continuous controllers create various performance effects such as bend-up/ down, voice switching, chorus, or layer crossfade. <BR><BR>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. <BR><BR><strong>FLEX Preset Technology</strong><BR> 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. <BR><BR><strong>Banks </strong><BR> Modern Symphonic Orchestra includes the following banks: <BR><BR><strong>Disc 1 - Strings </strong><BR> Modern Symphony Orchestra includes the sound of the full strings broken down by sections:<BR> 1st Violins 10 violins on the far left<BR> 2nd Violins 10 violins to the left of the center<BR> Violas Eight violas in the center<BR> Cellos 12 cellos to the right of the center<BR> Basses Six basses to the far right<BR> All Strings 1st violins, 2nd violins, violas, cellos, and basses mapped to keys in the appropriate ranges<BR><BR>ESC - Advanced Sound Design Notes: <BR> *Automatic Up/Down bowing for the sustained notes<BR> *Up/Down bowing for staccato, détaché that including separate presets for Up/Dn, Dn/Up, Up/Dn/Dn, Dn/Up/Up (triplets)<BR> *Presets designed for the Pizzicato, referred to as Dbl 1, Dbl 2, Trp 1, Trp 2, and Qdp (Quadruplet)<BR> *Keyswitch preset that allows you to switch between each of the bowings using the keyswitch<BR> *A "KSW All+Flx" preset tha
