ProjectSAM Cinematic Sampling has released The Free Orchestra – a gigabyte of free cinematic sounds, taken from ProjectSAM’s sound libraries.
The sound library ranges from orchestral string staccatos and brass clusters to symphonic percussion and ‘dystopian sound design’.
The Free Orchestra works with the free Kontakt Player, so it can be used without limitations by just about anyone with a Mac or Windows computer.
