Ensemblia 2: Orchestral Shorts

A Modern Chamber Orchestra

Ensemblia Orchestral is the sound of a modern chamber orchestra - in the spirit of Steve Reich's or Michael Nyman's minimalism.

It sounds warm, intimate and organic - and always different since you can instantly put together your own ensemble from over 50 instruments. You can divide all voices/notes for each individual instrument. Ensemblia is designed to create polyphonic arrangements, patterns and textures based on what notes you play and the voicing engine can be set.

What is Ensemblia Orchestral?

Ensemblia Orchestral is the sound of a modern chamber orchestra. It sounds warm, intimate and organic - and always different since you can instantly put together your own ensemble from over 50 instruments.

The core of Ensemblia is seven separate instrument tracks that can be freely assigned from a large arsenal of orchestral and non-orchestral instruments. Due to the large number of instruments and their origin, almost all types of ensemble are possible. But an ensemble is only realistic if you can divide the voices/notes for the individual instruments - this is exactly what Ensemblia does with its easy and impressive Voicing Engine. Each of the seven individual tracks can be distributed among your played notes. A supplied intelligent arranger provides the appropriate pattern, all in the spirit of Steve Reich's or Michael Nyman's minimalism. Ensemblia is designed to create polyphonic arrangements, patterns and textures based on what notes you play and the voicing engine can be set individually for each instrument and for each step. Let's be clear: Ensemblia doesn't play prefabricated phrases or MIDI files.
