Orchestral Chords: Full Orchestra Chord Instrument for Kontakt

The library is organized into three main groups. Tutti Chords cover major, minor and augmented major seventh chords, each in three inversions, with staccato and sustain articulations and dynamics from soft to loud. Tutti Octaves provide three-, four- and five-octave orchestral voicings in marcato and sustain/staccato versions. Low Chords offer four chord types, including major and minor chords with either a root or third in the bass, also with a full dynamic range.

Articulation changes are handled by keyswitches. The sustain/staccato switch responds to velocity, so you can move between the two within a single performance. A marcato keyswitch adds an accented attack. Vivaldi Tremolo mappings for low and high registers are included as well.

Each chord family is assigned to its own color-coded key range, so you can see at a glance where each voicing sits. Low Chords use separate ranges for major root, major first inversion, minor root and minor first inversion. Tutti Chords are mapped in ranges for each chord type, with the augmented major seventh chords placed on the highest keys.

This layout lets you play full orchestral harmony with one hand while your other hand stays free for melody or bass lines, which suits quick mockups and sketching progressions.
