Details

The library includes three orchestral sections: 50 string players, 12 woodwinds, and 10 brass players, recorded with four microphone positions—Close, Decca Tree, Wide, and Balcony. This setup allows for a range of mixing options, from intimate detail to expansive soundscapes. The instrument is built around rhythmic motifs, with seven preset patterns that can be assigned to different sections of the keyboard, enabling flexible layering and arrangement.

Ostinato Noir employs a unique approach by recording separate intervals for various rhythmic building blocks, allowing for intricate chord voicings. The interface supports real-time score display, chord recognition, and Harmonic Shift capabilities, enhancing playability. Users can mute or unmute individual phrases, adjust panning and volume for each layer, and utilize the MOD wheel for dynamic control over output volume and EQ adjustments. The engine also features intelligent tempo mapping, ensuring phrases sync seamlessly with your DAW's BPM.

This library is particularly suited for scoring projects that require a dark, atmospheric quality, making it a valuable tool for composers working in film, television, or any medium where mood and texture are paramount.
