IMPORTANT NOTE
Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator uses instruments from all 5 parts of the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra series and is not a standalone product. It requires either perpetual product licenses for each of the libraries, a Fantasy Orchestra bundle license, or a ComposerCloud+ subscription license. Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator is a separate product from the Hollywood Orchestrator product. They share many features, but only work with their respective library collections.
CHAPTER 6: HOLLYWOOD FANTASY ORCHESTRATOR
Create music in the style of Hollywood’s greatest fantasy film, television, and game soundtracks in seconds by playing a few simple chords with one hand and shaping expression with the other. Developed in collaboration with Sonuscore, Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator features hundreds of customizable presets built with the world instruments from the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra series and allows you to create real-time arrangements based on your MIDI input with an Innovative Scoring Engine.
COMPOSE FANTASY SCORES IN SECONDS
With hundreds of customizable presets, you can instantly create music in the style of Hollywood's greatest fantasy film, television, and game soundtracks. While these presets were made with the fantasy genre in mind, they can easily be used across the genre spectrum, including action, suspense, and historical dramas. Presets are organized into 4 categories, described below:
- Ensemble allows you to quickly create rich orchestral arrangements with presets that combine instruments into various strings, brass, winds, percussion, choral and full orchestra ensembles. For instance, loading the ‘Strings and Brass - Legato’ preset in the Strings and Brass Long sub-category will instantly load a string and brass ensemble consisting of 3 Flugelhorns, 3 Alpenhorns, 3 Wagner Tubas, 6 Low Brass, 3 Hardanger Fiddles, High Octave Strings, 3 Viola Da Gambas, and Low Octave Strings.
- Ostinato enables you to build rhythmic tension in different meters or create moving melodic lines by only changing a few notes. Start by exploring the sub-categories that contain different note durations (quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, etc), then choose from one of the many preset variations, including those in different time signatures (3/4, 5/4, 7/8, and more).
- Score brings classic Hollywood fantasy orchestrations to life, bringing an endless source of inspiration to your compositions. Choose between a wide selection of themes in the sub-categories, each with lots of different variations, including alternative time signatures.
- User is where your own presets can be stored by modifying existing presets or by building your own ensembles from scratch!
NEW VOICES INSTRUMENT SECTION
Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator adds an additional Voices instrument section alongside the existing instrument sections to give you a total of 5 sections to create complex orchestrations: strings, brass, winds, percussion, and voices. Put the power of singer Merethe Soltvedt’s majestic voice at your fingertips and add a full men and women’s choir to provide a rich, ethereal palette that perfectly underscores the most powerful moments of your fantasy scores.
AN INNOVATIVE SCORING ENGINE
At the heart of Hollywood Orchestrator is an innovative Scoring Engine, which produces everything from basic string arrangements to very complex orchestrations played by the full fantasy orchestra. This is where you can create new presets or alter any existing preset by changing the melodic pattern in each step sequencer or by completely switching the instruments and voicings of that preset.
MIX TO PERFECTION
In the Mixer section, refine the final output of each instrument by adjusting the volume, pan, equalization, reverb preset, reverb send amounts, and other reverb controls like pre-delay, length, and filters.
Hollywood Fantasy Orchestrator is the perfect tool both for new composers who want to get that magical fantasy sound quickly and effortlessly, and for professional composers who need to produce large amounts of compositions on a deadline. With its unique set of world instruments and ensembles that have been featured in the biggest movies and games in history, the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra collection is brought to life with an innovative Orchestrator scoring engine, allowing you to create music in the style of Hollywood's greatest fantasy film, television, and game soundtracks.
