Sonokinetic offers the Vivace Legacy orchestral library for Kontakt Player as a FREE download until December 9th, 2022.
The original Vivace library kickstarted a successful run of orchestral releases for Sonokinetic, and now, the developer returns to its roots for a seriously epic freebie.
Vivace Legacy is a refreshed version of the original, featuring an updated GUI and optimized samples. Best of all, it’s absolutely free to download and runs in the free Kontakt Player 7.
The downside is that it’s only free for a limited time, and the offer ends on December 9th, 2022. So, don’t miss it!
Of course, you can keep using the library if you claim the freebie before December 9th.
When you load Vivace Legacy, you’ll see five main folders:
- Expressionists & Tutti Suspense
- Harmonics
- Inceptive Brass
- Runs & Endings
- Shocks & Stabs
The five folders provide a combined eleven patches offering everything from simple chords and crescendos to orchestrated phrase loops and Endings that sync to your host tempo.
Sonokinetic recorded four orchestral sections when making Vivace Legacy: Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, and Percussion.
By default, each patch loads with the Tutti mic, but you can add/mix Balcony, Decca, and Wide.
Vivace Legacy does a couple of things I like straight away; the first is that it displays the score for each patch, which I always find interesting. It’s especially useful to see the score for more complex loops and runs because it lets you know exactly what you’re hearing, and it’s a good way to learn about orchestral scoring if you’re into that.
Another thing that I like is that it has a polyphonic mode for sustained chords, which allows you to stack chords. Simple things like stacking a major chord on top of its relative minor or stacking two major chords a whole tone apart provides some lovely extensions for a thick/lush or extremely tense sound.
Vivace Legacy offers various ways to tweak the default sound, like Tuning, microphone position, and EQ, but you can get pretty far just by riding the expression.
It’s basically a ready-made score that you can tweak and edit to fit whatever cinematic project you have, and, as you’ll hear from the demos, it sounds fantastic.
If you’re into cinematic sounds or think you might be in the future, don’t miss this freebie. Also, if you haven’t downloaded LABS Cassette Synth yet, try it; it’s a bit different but very cool.
