Sonokinetic has made the Tutti Free atonal orchestral effects library available at no cost!
The collection is for Native Instruments Kontakt Player 7, which is free, and it’s also compatible with Komplete Kontrol and NKS. This is another excellent Kontakt library that can be yours for free.
Kontakt Player 7 runs on Windows and Mac, so the library works on both as well.
Tutti Free is a recording of a full symphony orchestra and contains “cinematic aleatoric orchestral effects (atonal)” samples.

For people who don’t carry a dictionary around, aleatoric means random. Concerning classical music it’s used to describe pieces where some aspect of the performance is left to chance.
You can hear the library at the Tutti Free product page via a SoundCloud playlist and YouTube videos.
The library sounds a bit like a soundtrack to a Terminator movie or perhaps a horror or thriller flick.
No doubt, the samples could be used to create unique sounds in songs and beats as well.

Tutti Free was recorded in situ at the Cinematic Concert Hall in Zlin, Czech Republic, and features a mixed signal of close, Decca, wide, and balcony mic positions.
Sonokinetic described what you can expect from the library, saying, “Expect crashes, bangs, and haunting textures, performed with pizzazz, oomph, and boundless enthusiasm, and recorded with love!”
Sonokinetic states that the sounds were all recorded “as atonal as we could get them and recorded with the entire orchestra present in the hall.”
If you’re new to Kontakt Player, it’s a bit of a process to get the library up and running.
To download Kontakt Player 7, you must submit an email address, and to get Tutti Free, you need to create a free Sonokinetic account.
If you’re looking for this kind of thing, though, it’d definitely be worth it. As you can hear from the samples, Tutti Free sounds very authentic and ready for use in professional projects.
This should be no surprise, as Tutti was Sonokinetic’s first commercial release and was a paid product for several years.
Tutti is now “retired” and has been replaced with Tutti Free. Note that Tutti is somewhat different from Tutti Free, though, as the latter features “a selection of phrases” from the original release as well as a simplified interface.
Tutti Free is in a 44.1kHz – 24bit NCW format, with 216 samples, and comes in at 445 MB.
It features the following sounds: Strings (52 players), woodwinds (12 players), brass (11 players), percussion, piano, and celesta.
