From an intimate strings to a rapturous symphony
We have harnessed the power of four different orchestral sections to release the beastly power of strings, brass, and woodwind. Move seamlessly from a quintet of solo players performing at the softest level, right up to a full symphonic orchestra playing at full pelt — all in the same instrument. Featuring 30 essential articulations, the library ~6GB enables you to achieve new levels of expression by controlling both dynamics and the number of players simultaneously, giving you incredible focus, texture, and magnitude — an imagined aperture in sound.

The beast within
Expertly recorded in The Hall at London’s AIR Studios, scoring stage for some of the biggest blockbuster films, including Harry Potter, The Dark Knight, and Interstellar — we offer you the most explosive orchestra that we have ever created, almost impossible to recreate live.
The Aperture Orchestra
Aperture Orchestra works on the basis of an imagined aperture in sound. At the bottom of the dynamic range, the library features close recordings of single string players playing at the softest level. As you increase the dynamics, the size of the ensemble also increases, until you are playing a full symphonic orchestra.
