THE ORCHESTRA COMPLETE 4 – What’s Included?
THE ORCHESTRA COMPLETE 4 pushes cinematic composition further without complicating your workflow. Developed for professional composers working under pressure, THE ORCHESTRA COMPLETE 4 retains everything loved about The Orchestra Complete 3 – and adds more realism, flexibility, and creative possibilities, without changing the intuitive workflow composers have come to depend on.
INCLUDED: FORCES OF FURY
FORCES OF FURY is a powerful new orchestral expansion for The Orchestra engine, created for composers working in cinematic music, trailers, games, and dramatic storytelling. Featuring newly recorded ensemble strings, impactful cinematic percussion, and performance-ready cue presets, this expansion delivers everything you need for fast, high-impact scoring.
INCLUDED: WOODS OF THE WILD
Focusing on a complete and extended woodwind section with impressive articulations like triple tongues and rips and trills, WOODS OF THE WILD adds an element of mystery and emotion that only woodwinds can provide. The expansion also includes mallets and other wooden drums and percussion.
INCLUDED: HORNS OF HELL
THE HORNS OF HELL pack a powerful horn section into THE ORCHESTRA dynamic. With 65 expressive brass articulations, 120 incredible and powerful presets and a full, a massive organ library, and our profoundly diabolic Evil Brass, it is truly made to be felt.
INCLUDED: STRINGS OF WINTER
Performed by the 41-piece European String Orchestra, STRINGS OF WINTER features the wonderful and unique Mongolian State Morin Khuur Ensemble and brings an aesthetic and poetic touch that includes over 60 unique articulations spread over 7 different instruments.
A FULL 80-PIECE ORCHESTRA
Strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion – all beautifully recorded and ready to play. Each section is available as individual instruments with multiple articulations, giving you full control to build your own orchestrations or layer them effortlessly using the powerful ensemble engine.
BONUS INSTRUMENTS
Apart from the classical orchestra instruments, THE ORCHESTRA COMPLETE 4 includes many more instruments such as harp, grand piano, glockenspiel, cembalo, celesta, church organ, choir, percussion, orchestral effects and much more.
KEYSWITCH VARIATIONS
The most powerful update in THE ORCHESTRA COMPLETE 4: presets now support up to four keyswitchable variations. That means four distinct musical ideas or cue sections in a single preset. We’ve created over 100 presets using this new system – giving you faster, more flexible tools to build evolving scores with minimal effort.
150 NEW & CUE-BASED PRESETS
THE ORCHESTRA COMPLETE 4 expands its library with over 150 brand-new presets designed for real-world scoring. Most of these are structured with musical sections (intro, mainA, mainB, outro) triggered via keyswitches to let you sketch and refine compositions quickly – ideal for everything from rough ideas to final delivery.
ADD 8va FEATURE
The new Add8va feature allows you to add an octave above any slot’s material, enriching textures and enhancing sonic width. Especially powerful when used with multiple keyswitches, this feature lets each variation carry its own unique tonal space – ideal for building contrast and momentum within a single cue.
Sequence Designer
Create your own individual musical patterns in addition to the standard options. These sequences can be edited individually, giving you the freedom to create more detailed compositions.
Pure Performance Legato
Experience vivid and the most authentic legatos with our Pure Performance Legato engine. This allows you to play both fast true legato and staccato runs without any problems, as the engine can distinguish between both articulations without the need for keyswitches.
MAIN PAGE: VOICINGS SECTION
The Ensemble NKI comes with a Voicings selection. You can assign which instrument plays which note of the chord to allow for more realistic ensemble sounds. Or you can choose from our pre-arranged Voicings. The Ensemble Engine is just like having a real-life orchestrator working for you.
All New Preset Browser
Explore the massive selection of presets categorized by library, category, instrumentation, meter, and mood. Finding the right preset for your mood or preferred style in an orchestra VST has never been easier.
MIDI Export
By popular demand, we created a MIDI-Export feature for THE ORCHESTRA COMPLETE and have carried it over to the latest edition. Patterns and arrangements generated by the Ensemble Engine can be exported onto separate MIDI tracks, opening up endless possibilities in your creations.
The Core – The Ensemble Engine
Create powerful rhythms and expressive orchestral arrangements with nothing more than simple chords – no pre-recorded phrases, no limits. At the core of THE ORCHESTRA COMPLETE 4 is the Ensemble Engine, that transforms your input into intricate, real-time orchestrations. Strings swell, brass roars, and woodwinds dance – all perfectly synchronized at the press of a key.

ENGINE MAIN PAGE
On the Engine page you can access all individual controls for each of the five instrument modules. Short notes can be arranged with up to 3 independent arpeggiators and our sequence designer, while sustained notes can be shaped with up to 2 velocity envelopes. Create the orchestral voicings as you need them and let the magic happen.


NEWKEYSWITCH VARIATIONS
Switch on the fly between 4 different variations per preset. That means four distinct musical ideas or cue sections (intro, main A, main B, outro) per preset - giving you faster, more flexible tools to build evolving scores with minimal effort.


ARPEGGIATOR
The arpeggiator creates fascinating melodic patterns to give your project a rich and lively orchestral feeling. Change the pattern of the arpeggiator with the rhythm stepper. If needed, you can modify almost every parameter to stay in full control of your orchestral voicing.


VELOCITY ENVELOPE
Shape your sustain sounds with the Velocity Envelope, adding to your sound a recurring dynamic movement from a sustained note. The centerpiece is the envelope shape, which can be drawn freely.


SEQUENCE DESIGNER
The Sequence Designer is included in the arpeggiator. This allows you to create in detail your own musical passages. Instead of following the specific styles of preset arpeggios, create your own and make it as complex as you’d like.


ORCHESTRAL VOICINGS
Assign which instrument plays which note of the chord to allow for more realistic ensemble sounds. Or you can choose from our 100+ pre-arranged Voicings.


NEWADD 8va
The new Add8va feature allows you to add an octave above any slot’s material, enriching textures and enhancing sonic width. Especially powerful when used with multiple keyswitches, this feature lets each variation carry its own unique tonal space - ideal for building contrast and momentum within a single cue.
