The new fortissimo

Inspired by Fritz Lang's awe-inspiring 1927 movie Metropolis, this is the revolution of epic in a single box.

A huge orchestra, a choir, percussion, a grand piano, and a metal band with a single vision: Bold, loud, and breathtaking. Metropolis Ark 1 features the loudest imaginable dynamics, ranging from mf up to fff.

All instruments were recorded with first-call musicians at the Teldex Scoring Stage in Berlin. Now updated for the SINE Player, Metropolis Ark 1 offers everything you need to create powerful musical monuments of your own.

Specifically designed for epic music

The orchestra is specially configured to deliver maximum gravitas: Special sections such as 4 contra bassoons playing in unison, a bass trombone ensemble, a cimbasso ensemble or 12 basses + 6 celli playing together in octaves offer finely balanced low end.

Metropolis Ark 1 includes multiple french horn ensembles: A big 9-piece horn section for soaring horn melodies and a smaller 3-piece horn ensemble specifically designed to play chords.

Together with two guitars playing brutal, saturated power chords, and a massive sinister choir singing at the highest dynamics, this collection will give your compositions new depth and dynamic range.

And thanks to SINE, you can now choose to purchase single instruments instead of buying the whole collection.

A flexible working tool

Instead of pre-mixed sections, METROPOLIS ARK 1 offers pure and unprocessed instrument groups to give you all the flexibility to arrange your own orchestrations.
Extensive Articulation Sets additionally offer swells, crescendos, glissandos, 2 different lengths of marcato, shorts, etc. on more than 75 GB of compressed sample material.

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.
