London Orchestral Percussion is a sample library built for composers who need orchestral percussion that sits well in a mix. The sounds were recorded in a natural hall with a moderate room signature, giving them ambient realism while staying dry enough to blend into different sonic spaces. The library covers large drums, timpani, toms, snares, cymbals, gongs and chromatic percussion, along with a range of orchestral accessories.

03In depth

Sound, Recording Space and Tone Control

The samples were captured in a natural hall environment. Big Fish Audio describes the room signature as moderate, which lets the instruments carry some air and space without washing out the mix.

The instrument includes customizable tone controls, so you can shape the character of the percussion to suit a cue. A crush control adds extra power and grit with a single turn, which is useful when a hit needs more impact.

Performance Tools for Rhythm and Swells

London Orchestral Percussion includes a built-in sequencer for building rhythmic patterns, a cymbal swell creator for crescendos, and a dedicated arpeggiator for the chromatic instruments.

The library is aimed at scoring workflows, with an refreshed sample set, a redesigned interface, NKS support and the ability to save your own user presets.
