This unique orchestra is a detailed toolkit for any kind of cinematic trailers and powerful music: Construct epic, Wagnerian themes, build tension with swells and sustains, and add thrills with dramatic stabs, rips, and glissandos. Detail and realism combine with an epic musical vision to give you an arsenal of inspiration for trailers, scores, underscoring, and grand musical statements.

TOOLS, TRICKS, AND TIME-SAVERS

Metropolis Ark 5 enables you to instantly produce dramatic, engaging parts for hard-hitting trailers, expressive underscoring, and majestic soundtracks:

• For emotive chords - Create emotive chords and rich harmonic accompaniment for melodies with a range of dedicated sustains, pads, and swells.
• For tensions - Build tension with long and short crescendos, glissandos, and Shepard tones—eerie effects that create the illusion of perpetually rising pitches.
• For melodies and hooks - Tap into blended instrument ensembles and choose legato patches to generate expressive orchestral melodies and hooks in seconds.
• For rhythmic and dynamic parts - With the ultimate spiccato patches at your fingertips, each with up to 8 dynamic layers and velocity-controlled note lengths, you can quickly produce highly rhythmic and dynamic string parts.
• For arpeggios and rips - Embellish passages with decorative effects and flourishes using performed rips and short samples that are perfect for arpeggiation.
• For runs and fast gestures - Perform fast runs easily and realistically with dedicated playable run patches for woodwinds, strings, brass, and blended ensembles.

AMPED-UP ANALOG SYNTHS

Incorporate electronic textures into your orchestral sound with a hand-picked collection of vintage analog synths and modular systems—the first electronic instruments included in the Metropolis Ark series. For seamless integration with orchestral patches, synths were re-amped and recorded on the Teldex Scoring Stage with the same multi-mic setup used for capturing the orchestra. Choose from iconic tones and overdriven patches that give you a quick way to add bite.

ABOUT THE METROPOLIS ARK SERIES

Inspired by Fritz Lang's epic 1927 film Metropolis, the Metropolis Ark series is designed specifically for writing bold, loud, aggressive, larger-than-life film music. The five collections form a cohesive whole that's perfect for movie trailers, but comprehensive and detailed enough for all kinds of musical heavy-lifting. If you need orchestral sounds that go way beyond the ordinary and conventional, then roll out the Metropolis Ark.
