Great tune! Very complicated indeed.

How do you set up your template? How many instances of each engine (such as KONTAKT/EWQL Play) do you run? How large is it and what do you generally start scoring first?

Thanks!

[ElectronicMindMusic]

@DV7Dave Thank you, but this is a rather simple idea and setup, i seem to recall the main theme being written around the Violin runs, the rest was just a case of connecting the dots and thickening out the orchestration.

Beautiful! John Williams would surely get a little hard at the least!

Two questions: (1) Did you write this piece in notation before entering it into Cubase? And (2) how long did it take you to program it?

[ElectronicMindMusic]

@Deloreansyk Well, no...i tend to write there and then, i don`t want to over-think my pieces when it is not called for, i write pretty spontaneously as long as i have some idea of where the piece is going, and why. The programming...a couple of days, i would guess. Not that i remember , but it is a quite simple tune, really..so i should think 2 days or so.

Ohh man! this is awesome! nothing to say... it's just amazing!

[ElectronicMindMusic]

@twsafarn Thanx man, `priciate that!

[knochenginni]

Its one of the best if not the best peace of virtual orchestral music i ever heard.

[YuQiang218]

cool , i like this demo

[CedricKristian]

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!

[tashows]

wtf? That's a short demo? Show some mercy on the people who try to write some music!!! Say "that took me 2 years to make!", just so that we feel better for ourselves! xD

@ElectronicMindMusic

I'd love to know your setup: what's your orchestral template, samples used etc., are you using 'Vienna Ensemble Pro' and, if so, does it effectively function as a VST instrument within Cubase SX, allowing you to open multiple instances of Kontakt in VE Pro?

...and, if so, how many Kontakt MIDI tracks would that allow, depending on RAM, of course?

Excellent stuff, by the way !
