Organic Samples is renowned for their colorful instruments. An inspiring resource of fluid legato solo voices, samples influenced by ethnic music and smart lightweight instruments available exclusively at Orchestral Tools.

After years of sampling, programming and designing custom libraries, Organic Samples decided to make use of the knowledge to achieve some inspiring tools that could be used by anybody.

The goal of Organic Samples is to capture a set of actual performances which shouldn't be altered by a bunch of effects or intensive programming. Once we recorded each single note (and, unlike many others, we don't skip half steps!), we like to keep things minimal.

We've been taking the time it needed to record all the transitions of the entire soprano register properly in a medium-sized room.

Performed by Ekaterina Mamysheva. Extensive true legato sampling of the entire soprano register. Exclusive "Tension builds" bonus patch to make chords from which all notes end up going to the same note.

Highlights:

• Extensive true legato sampling.
• Speed by velocity functionality.
• Recorded in a medium-sized room, ideal to get some natural reflections but a still intimate sounding performance.
• Expressive true legato for the entire soprano register.
• Same note repetition samples, slow and fast attacks for the sustains.
• Exclusive "Tension builds" patch to make chords from which all notes end up going to the same note.
