From Fantasy Strings and Brass to Winds, Percussion, and Voices- the 6th and final entry in the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra series is officially here; the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator from EastWest Sounds! And it promises instant orchestrations from just a couple of chords!
What's Inside? 🎻🎺🎹 Developed in collaboration with Sonuscore, the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator gathers all of the past fantasy libraries into one cohesive orchestrating engine and offers hundreds of customizable Hollywood fantasy style presets! I'm After seeing this orchestra series grow over the past few months, this release become one of my most anticipated of the year!
Why It Stands Out: 🌟
Innovative Scoring Engine: At the very heart of the Orchestrator is its Scoring Engine! This feature lets composers create everything from basic string arrangements to intricate orchestrations played by the full fantasy orchestra- all from within the Opus plugin! Whether you're a seasoned composer or just starting out, this engine offers an incredibly fun experience!
Customizable Presets: With hundreds of presets at your disposal, you can instantly emulate the style of iconic Hollywood fantasy film, television, and game soundtracks under the Scoring section of the orchestrator! These presets, while rooted in the fantasy genre, offer versatility that might even extend to action, suspense, and dramas as well.
Ensembles & Ostinatos: Dive into rich orchestral arrangements with the Ensembles feature, or build rhythmic tension with the Ostinatos. These tools allow you to quickly come up with melodies and rhythms that captivate your audience, making your compositions truly memorable!
While the Orchestrator has a ton of presets, remember that music is a deeply personal process. It's important to find your unique voice and not solely rely on presets. Think of this tool as a foundation; it's up to you to build upon it and make it your own. The Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator is definitely a valuable addition to any composer's toolkit. But, just like with any tool, it's how you use it that really matters. Embrace its capabilities, but never forget the power of your own creativity!
