Mic’ing is again close and personal, with some really useful patches. I’ll be honest, the default sounds really good, so you’ll not be too concerned if you are fighting your computer’s RAM allocation.Įlsewhere within District 1, we find the Mixed Choir, which I was suitably intrigued to find had similar sonic credentials to the orchestral sections.

In the case of the Full Orchestral Multi patch, it sees each set of mic samples add a further 0.5GB of samples to the memory allocation, taking us up to a full 2.5GB with all loaded. Three additional mics can also be added at this stage, offering further close-up action or ambience. Within District 1, default mic’ing options are initially set to Close and Tree, with the latter providing the ambience of the Teldex stage, which can be dialled in and out as required. Even more striking, and in line with Ark 4’s calling card, is the tightly focused sound there’s a real sense of first-chair focus, which can clearly be heard when switching to the mic settings page.

The Ricochet features the bow bouncing from the string, creating a very interesting and usable colour, while the Power Sustain brings us some hardcore bowing, which would have even Dmitri Shostakovich smiling. Looking at the String Orchestra patch, there are some real gems to be found. In each section, there are similarities to what we saw in the full orchestral patching, but with further articulation options. Moving on from the full orchestral setting and the sections are broken down individually to strings, woodwinds and brass.

The distinctively balanced room – neither too wet nor too dry, and with the finest microphones from the last five decades at its disposal – takes our Berlin Series and Metropolis Ark Series to a whole new level.Further selections don’t disappoint, extending to Rips, Ricochet and a number of upbeat options, represented by single, duple and triplet entrees before the main note – but in all cases, firmly pushing toward the final note of the phrase. And for that additional emotional charge, there is a Women’s and Men’s Choir at your fingertips.Īs with previous collections, Metropolis Ark 4 was recorded at the sublime Teldex Scoring Stage in Berlin. With a Melodic Percussion Ensemble, Tuned Timpani & Tom Ensemble and a whole host of Percussion and Drum Ensembles at hand to harness the rhythms. Metropolis Ark 4 includes an impressive array of High, Mid and Low String Sections for you to choose from, not to mention 10 Mixed Brass & Woodwinds Sections. Shaped by their rough surroundings, these sounds are edgy, offbeat and expressionistic. As well as the strong rhythmic and melodic articulation sets, Metropolis Ark 4 provides the building blocks for creating striking orchestral effects and textures.

This time around, we have special high energy articulations – Power Legato, Martele Sets, Overblown Winds, Overpressure Strings – designed to harness the raw power behind the professional sheen.

The dynamic range goes from pianississimo to fortississimo, but the underlying force and bite is always there – every whisper is a controlled scream. Just like the oppressive calm before a returning storm, the sound is always powerful and aggressive. All performed and mixed in such a way that the listener perceives them as a single sound. Similarly, the mixed wind sections are not instrumental sections in the conventional sense, but rather special blends of colors that come together to create a broad palette of virtual instrumentation. The sections are not small – they are sharply focused like the Maschinenmensch robot in Fritz Lang’s Metropolis, all unbridled expressive energy and singularity of purpose. This latent symbiotic power comes to the fore in the same way with Metropolis Ark 4 – Elite Orchestral Forces, which integrates various approaches from the previous three collections, performed to perfection by the Metropolis Orchestra. After all, some of the tiniest insects are hardwired to floor a six-ton elephant. Size may be king in the natural world but sometimes the real power lies beneath the surface.
