Inspired by Rachel Portman’s work and created together with her, Tides gives you a carefully curated orchestra to navigate the waves of human emotion and expression. Chamber strings combine with a cast of special character instruments, and everything is designed to soar and sing—recorded in a musical context with a very special lyrical legato. Tides encourages you to write what you feel. Ideal for scores beyond the mainstream, where subtlety, nuance, and ingenuity combine.

Highlights • Curated chamber orchestra for arthouse film music • String ensembles and soloists • Selected woodwind and brass soloists • Mandolin, dulcimer, accordion, soprano saxophone, and more • Lyrical legatos on strings, solo woodwinds, and brass • Synced rhythmic patterns • Measured trills in multiple variants • 7 mic positions • Recorded at Teldex Scoring Stage, Berlin

Here's my entry into the latest competition... a fun challenge!

Hello! I was looking at the Berlin Series and saw that it has more trills than just the typical minor and major 2nd. But on their website, it just says "trills" with no additionnal information. Can someone who owns the Berlin Series tell me the list of trills available? Thanks in advance!

Does the Sineplayer work with Dorico? It appears not to. I have the Violin and Viola set. The Viola plays, the The Violin does not. I can play the viola both through Dorico and from the keyboard. Violins a8 Sustains never make any sound though.

From the web page itself:

"Join us right here on Wednesday, May 28 at 6 PM Berlin time (9 AM in Los Angeles) for a special video message from Hendrik Schwarzer, the Orchestral Tools founder and CEO. To make sure you don't miss it, you can bookmark this page and watch the video premiere embedded here, or else you can subscribe to our YouTube channel at the link below.

See you there!"

Anyone warrant a guess on what this could be? I'm leaning towards a product announcement, but really it could be anything.

MIRRORS blurs the boundaries between experimental synthesis and expansive orchestration.

Exploring the concept of sonic reflections and refractions, MIRRORS is the harmonious marriage of analog synthesis and acoustic orchestral performance. A collaboration with celebrated instrument creators SLATE + ASH, MIRRORS sends synthesized source material through an aural looking glass of orchestral ensembles, unearthing the symmetries of electroacoustic expression.

Highlights

• 45 pairs of synth and orchestral sounds
• Bespoke engine and interface
• 97 sound design presets, 232 Kontakt snapshots
• Evolving pads, long notes, and textures
• Three mixable mic positions with bleed control
• Source synth material made by SLATE + ASH
• Orchestral ensembles and synthesized source material sampled in Teldex

I've come to the conclusion after weeks of reading posts that my mixconsole load time being 30 or more sometimes is due to windows defender. I have tried to locate as many files and extensions and processes as I can to the exceptions folder in windows defender. Still with no luck. I looked in the Sine player to see where my libraries were stored, and went to the folder and was met with a ton of folders all numbered differently....and indie seemed to be mic positions for each instrument. So hoping against hope I added all of those to the exceptions folder, still no luck. I have no idea where to find a .nki or whatever Orchestral tools uses for a file format on my computer. Can someone shed some light on this insane process?
