Amadeus symphonic orchestra free download

Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra is a free orchestral sample library. While not as advanced or ambitious in scope as commercial offerings, SSO contains all the basic building blocks for creating real virtual orchestrations. It’s primarily aimed at beginners, but also more experienced composers looking for something lightweight and/or portable might find it useful.

Developer: Mattias Westlund & Big Cat Instruments

Free Full Orchestral Sample Library

The Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra Module contains the full SSO by Mattias Westlund, nicely wrapped up into one simple VST plugin (32 & 64bit).

The SSO samples are stereo, 16 bit, 44kHz. Melodic instruments and chromatic percussion are sampled in minor 3rds. Staccato/pizzicato patches have 2x round-robin. All samples have varying amounts of stage ambience, depending on their front-to-back placement, but in addition to that a good hall reverb is a must.

SSO is a free library released under the Creative Commons Sampling Plus 1.0 license.

For more information, please see the SSO page and SSO sound module page.

• Note: This library comes with it’s own sample player, no other software is required.
• Important: This library is provided as a VST only plugin. There is no support for AU/AAX plugins
