The Symphonic Orchestra Black Friday deal from EastWest Sounds takes 55% off this sampled orchestral collection, leaving it at $89 until Jan 17, 2027.
Symphonic Orchestra Platinum is a virtual instrument library built around a full orchestra. The maker puts the download at over 124GB of material.
Producers Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix created the collection. The maker calls it the best-selling and most awarded orchestral collection ever made.
Prof. Keith O. Johnson, a classical recording engineer with 11 Grammy nominations, handled the recording. The maker says it was the first orchestral collection recorded in a concert hall where orchestras actually perform.
Sound On Sound readers gave it their Reader's Choice Award three times, according to the maker.
The maker says the hall's detail is captured with high precision, adding realism and shimmer to every note. That natural ambience is meant to make the instruments feel like they are playing back live.
EastWest says you can build convincing orchestral performances with very little time and effort.
Every instrument is sampled with three mic positions:
That gives you a choice of how much of the room sits in the mix, from a tight, direct sound to the full hall.
An Intelligent Performance section covers four functions:
An intelligent release trail engine also follows the volume of note-on velocities automatically. The tail of each note tracks how hard you played it.
The feature list in short:
Make sure your drive has room for 124GB before you download. The library is listed under virtual instruments, so it loads into your DAW as a playable instrument, in the box, ready to write orchestral parts.
