Merlin Vienna Soundfont Download Sf2 Average ratng: 5,5/10 6204votesThat can be played freely. Updated: 2017 September 25 So much has happened since my inactivity and it is surprising to see how much more sample libraries for MIDI orchestration are now available. Some of them just appeared this year (as of initial writing in 2016). Many of you must have already heard of the (SSO). I believe that SSO has triggered others to make more orchestral instruments accessible for all.

With free sample libraries and DAWS being accessible to anyone, there is no reason why your musical ideas should never be heard.Today, we’re very fortunate as it is now possible to make good sounding orchestral music with zero budget (except for your computer and internet connection which you might be using right now to read this website). Hint: If you just starting to learn about sample libraries, check out my.

Other acoustic instruments such as guitars and drumsets (the one found in rock bands), although occassionally used in the orchestra will not be listed simply to avoid making a very big list (for now, at least). Exceptions I will also make a few exceptions for free VST’s/plugins as they fit the “freely playable” category which is ultimately what matters.

Cavalleria Rusticana (1880). The stairway, lying (resting?) guy and ladies panicking are reminiscent of the last minutes in the Godfather III. The song Warning: If you haven’t seen them yet, the links that lead to youtube videos can be spoilers.I wouldn’t have been familiar with this song if not for the movies or TV shows that used it. It is probably best remembered for the tragic ending in. I have actually seen that scene in a black and white furniture television when I was very young, but my dad, having watched it already changed the TV channel, so I did not remember the song from that movie.Next, I’ve seen my friend playing a black and white video wherein there is this boxer warming up in slow motion. As I eventually found out, that was from the opening credits of.
It definitely has cult appeal and I partially remembered the tune, but I wasn’t interested enough to dig further. It was not until the 31st episode of, that I really got interested with this song. By that time it has reached 31 episodes, the characters and story must have grown on me, hence making Intermezzo one of my favorite classical pieces.
The unfolding story, artistic animation and the music, simply made a very powerful emotional combo (that could probably make a normal person cry).The score Since this is an old classic, it is very likely that a computer playable sheet music is available out there. PDFs are available at, MIDIs are available from various sources, but the best I was able to obtain was from, creater. Since majority of the transcription has already been done, I had the luxury of neat picking further, almost obsessively, trying to make the score look identical to the one available at, and incorporating the additional woodwinds parts in a much recent transcription, also from.
I could have just used one of the google-able MIDI files, but that would have spoiled the fun and learning process. From the score, I learned that the 2nd violins and A clarinets are played divisi (divided further into smaller groups playing different parts, it would look like double stops when notated).Hence, I should balance the volume to avoid making it sound that there are twice as much second violins or clarinets. Articulations markings in the score would also help me decide how to modify the MIDI.Anyway, here are the files:. MuseScore. I find the A3 size compact enough but still legible when scaling to an A4 printout. MuseScore exported. Note: some symbols are not optimally arranged.
MuseScore exported. Skaiju edited/tweaked tweaked and articulated with Sekaiju.This is 4.3 times larger than the “un-articulated” version. The complexity of the score also helped me learned more of MuseScores features like putting notes on the next staff instead of using more ledger lines, and putting beams over notes in different bars (which starts to look odd if the bar is in a different line or page, revealing room for improvement in MuseScore).
I also found it helpful to modify the score layout to make it the page as long as possible so I don’t have to navigate to different lines or pages when editing an instrument part. Divide and conquer At some point in the working process, it is easier to use sheet music for the individual instruments, instead of the full score. Fortunately “parts” were also available from.Since I focus at one instrument at a time when tweaking MIDI, it is convenient to have the full instrument part in one page. Extracted parts also speed up work by avoiding confusion or distraction from other instruments. It is also helpful to put the bar number in each bar, not just the first bar in each line (you may want a print out). Since parts are not always available, re-writing the score in MuseScore would also give you this advantage.
Software The usual suspects plus AAMS:.: converting the visual score to something that can be made into MIDI.: Further MIDI tweaking (expression and articulation).: Rendering the MIDI with soundfonts.: For reverb.: For EQ mastering based on a reference recording Samples The samples used are mostly from the, with a few exceptions. Organ. “Low harp” aCoUsTicBaSs from the. Since the lowest harp notes in the pieces are not audible with SSO.
I’m not very particular about these other instruments since the strings dominate the sound.The strings and woodwinds are also from SSO worked fine. I’m not quite happy with SSO’s harp, but I just let it be since it is not as loud as the rest. For reverb I used a cathedral preset in.I actually thought whether I should go for an IR convolution reverb, but I probably made a “mistake” by starting out with the snappy and convenient “go-to” freeverbtoo, that it became difficult to make the piece sound the way I like with other reverb VSTs. MIDI tweaking Since I’m very familiar with how the song, this proved to require more effort than my usual re-arrangements. In short, I had higher standards because I had an easy and definite way of benchmarking, i.e. Listening alongside an actual recording or the my mind’s “ear worm”. The score helped me decide how to tweak the MIDI by:.
Slightly overlapping slurred/legato notes. Modifying the MIDI velocity depending on the note’s dynamics (e.g. Actually MuseScore will take account of dynamics when exporting to MIDI, but you would still want to make adjustments to get it sounding right. Separating notes that stick end-to-end.If the same note/pitch is played in succession without a gap in between, weird buzzing sounds would result sometimes. Also, it is likely that musicians in the real would also make a short pause in such cases.
Can anyone bow the same note twice without pausing in between? Probably not, but the natural reverb and decay of the sound will feel in this gap, just like when a pianist steps on the sustain pedal. Modify Expression (MIDI CC11) to control loudness, e.g. In notated crescendos and decrescendos, and where ever I feel like changing the volume. CC7, volume, also works similarly, but I did not tweak this part.I also used this to minimize the piercing or ringing sound from high notes at the end (from oboe and 1st violin).
This also explains how the MIDI file got more than 4 times larger (still small at 47KB) since many data points are used to draw expression curves. Randomize harp note starts by a slight amount to make it sound “human played.”. Add the low harp work-around. As I mentioned earlier I couldn’t hear the first low notes of the harp, so I added a supposedly pizzicato contrabass for that part, which was then rendered with an acoustic bass guitar.
I also used CC11 to apply a longer fade out on long notes.Without modifying this volume, the long note will only start fading out close to the end. This release time is about 0. 5 seconds for SSO. It may not always sound natural if a long note is near full volume for most of the time then, just fade out for a short time only towards the end.Musicians may play a long fading note. Especially since, unlike MIDI, musicians know beforehand how long the note should be.
This may not always be the case though, so you should trust your ears in the end. I think this applies more if there is an anticipation of more silence after the long note, or if the long note ends a phrase. Results We’ve had enough talking, let’s now hear the music.One difference I notice from real recordings is that there are more pronounced solo instruments. I.e., my ears can distinguish a solo violin on top of other violins.The ensemble sound provided by SSO is somewhat more “homogeneous”, or there is no dominating solo instrument within the ensemble. This may have to do with the mic placement in real recordings.
Automatic mastering using reference recordings I also tried out this new cool tool, the. AAMS adaptively applies EQ settings on an audio file based on references or even based on other recordings you have. Unlike the usual EQ with loads of presets, AAMS first analyze the original audio file, and then decides how much of each frequency band to boost or attenuate. And it uses a lot of frequency bands instead of just a typical smoothened out curve with 3 to 10 peak regions.What I’ve done is choose a reference recording, have AAMS analyze its spectrum, and make my MIDI orchestation output have the same spectrum. To be on the safe side, I used a reference file with an Open Audio License from Wikimedia: It doesn’t have to be the same song, but it’s reasonable to assume that reference based automatic mastering will give best results if the reference is playing the same notes as your project.In most cases, it may be enough that the reference has the same style or genre or instruments, i.e. It is enough that it sounds similar to what you want.
What I’ve done is closer to exactly what I want.AAMS Intermezzo Suggestions. How my project audio file should be equalized. Notice how there are a lot of frequency bands. I wish I understood what this plot means beyond knowing that it looks cool. Interestingly, the spectra didn’t differ so much meaning that the SSO + Freeverbtoo combo already sounds realistically mastered enough to begin with. That may also be the virtue of classical orchestra music being more reproducible, keeping the recording setup as simple as possible and having no special effects whatsoever.But I can still imagine many cases wherein AAMS could be a lifesaver, especially if your speakers/headphones are not the best you could get, then you could still be safe if your song sounds like a professionally mastered reference song through quantitative spectral merits.
It may also help if you feel that your sample libraries are not sounding the way you imagine it should. Conclusions Although digital MIDI orchestration motivates us to create our own orchestra compositions, it is a good learning experience to work on an existing that tune you know well. This raises your standards as you try to best replicate the known song.It is like the difference of drawing a fictional face you imagined, and drawing a portrait of someone you know well.
The former does not impose a definite right and wrong. Making covers also makes you aware of what the tools are capable of, and what are their limitations.Happy music making! Album art from the Escaflowne Original Soundtrack 3 from which the original music can be found.
The song is part of the ‘s original soundtrack (third CD album). I’ve seen this anime more than a decade ago, made cassette copies of my sister’s CD, and listened to it regularly back in highschool. For a cartoon, it has a soundtrack that goes beyond what you would normally expect.It’s one of the reasons I got hooked into orchestra music (as opposed to the serious and profound classics that is less accessible to my less mature mind back then).
It’s composed by Yoko Kanno and Hajime Mizoguchi and (probably) performed by Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra.The score was based on this transcription by and all thanks to him/her for doing a great job. Unfortunately it is not a public domain score, so I won’t be able to share it that easily. But basically, I transcribed the video using MuseScore.
It is not that difficult, there are parts in the piano that need “voices”, but the whole piece is mostly strings (for me., that’s actually easier and more fun than emailing the youtube user). (I hope to share something public domain next time). I’ve been itching to get Reaper for a long time already, but so far, my projects are not too complex, so this setup is still fine. Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra For this song, I decided to do a proper demo of.I’ve always used multiple orchestra samples and layer the different results in Audacity. Using SSO by itself has also revealed some of its shortcomings. Sometimes the release does not sound well, giving an unnatural sound at the end of the note (i.e.
In long contrabass notes or in violas). I work around this by shortening the note until the odd sounding part is no longer audible.The slow attacks also made it less favorable for fast short notes, making them sound mushy, and making the melody less defined. I try to remedy this by increasing the note velocities or decreasing the note velocities of the background instruments. I wonder whether using a VST SFZ player, instead of Syntfont’s native sfz support, might give better results, but I have not really explored this option.
Manual looping. Update: As it turns out, this manual looping workaround was unnecessary ans I should apologize for the misinformation. My mistake was to directly load the sfz file to Synthfont (an older version back then) instead of using an sfz playing VST. SSO strings loop nicely with Plogue sforzando. The text is maintained for historical purposes and as it may still be helpful for other libraries that do not have looping in them or, for another application, to hide the distinct repetitive sound of looped samples.Another shortcoming of SSO is its lack of looped samples for some instruments, which has forced me come up with a tricky work around. The first note of the first violins is 9 bars long (31 seconds at 70 BPM!). At first I thought of editing the SFZ samples, but that seemed overkill for a single note.
So next, I imgained how a real orchestra would actually play a half minute note. If it were a single violin, the maximum amount of time you could slide the bow over a string would be limited by the bow’s length and the minimum bow velocity needed to produce an acceptable sound, maybe five or 10 seconds (my imagination’s approximation). Restarting the bow slide would have made a new note. But an ensemble of more than 10 violins doesn’t have to simultaneously restart their individual bowing.So while one violinist restarts there are about 10 others who are still bowing midway, hiding the restarting guy and creating an illusion of continuity. That’s my guess. Back to the MIDI editor, I implemented “manual looping” by making an extra first violins track (not to be confused with the second violins in the score). I broke the whole 9 bar note into shorter segments that can be played by SSO.
The extra violin track continues the note when it’s about to end in the original violin track.Then the original violin track continues the note when the extra violin track’s note is about to end. Hence, by alternating and overlapping these two violin tracks for the same note, I get a manually looped violin note.To mask the attacks of this repeating violin, I align them with the attacks (note start) of the other instruments in the score. Of course, these alternating violin tracks must have the same volume and panning and go through to the same effects chain.It may also be worth noting that the SSO worked better for this trick. Guitar = Guitar Pro Since I can’t compete with a real orchestra, I generally avoid making inferior copies of something that it is already great (except for personal studies or demos).
Who would listen to that? At the very least, I would change an instrument to give a different feel that is worth listening to. Hence, I changed the piano part into guitar. Being a more common and accessible instrument, and being a long time guitar player myself, I could relate more with the sad sound of a guitar.I’m also known among my friends for advocating (GP) as a virtual guitar addition to their DAWs.
Even though I play guitar well (used to?), and own many guitars (too many to remember), recording guitars with my limited laptop studio setup has never given me satisfying results. GP actually started as a tablature study program (coincidentally at the age when I was crazy about studying guitar tabs). When it started out, there was a free alternative that can do as much, Tux Guitar.
But since Guitar Pro’s introduction of RSE (realistic sound engine), it has, in my opinion, left Tux Guitar far behind.GP would not integrate with a DAW like a VST or soundfont, but it’s notation based interface, optimized for guitar articulations, makes it far more intuitive than any VST I know. GP can simulate vibrato, hammer on/pull offs, ringing, chord “brushing”, harmonics and many more with a few mouse clicks and without having to tweak MIDI parameters.And the demos sound realistic enough for me (listen or download ). It’s probably the guitar equivalent of combo, but at a price below a hundred dollars. Software that unify sophisticated music notation and virtual sound production is really something we should be thankful for (although I would also hope for piano roll integration). Conclusion There’s nothing really new here, but I would be happy if a newcomer in digital music production/midi orchestration would learn something from this. Note that the only tool that costs money is Guitar Pro, although I’ve also donated a small amount to Synthfont as it is very useful to me and it was the first thing to exactly match what I was looking for before, a simple tool that applies soundfonts and VSTi’s to an existing MIDI file that is not as overkill as a full blown DAW. With diligence, passion and knowledge of what great tools are available out there, making quality music, one that you can mix in to your iPod or MP3 player, is no longer a thing that can only be done with professional thousand dollar studios.Happy music making!
Introduction If soundfonts are static files that gives you unique sounds in your DAW, then VSTs are interactive applications that give the same functionality. And even more. Being programs with graphical user interfaces, they are much more flexible than soundfonts. This flexibility may explain why some people believe that VSTs are better than soundfonts. But that is not always true.VSTs commonly have the DLL extension (or other dynamic loadable libraries or executable extension depending on your operating system). The VST specification was developed by back in 1996 (and has been updated since then). And if they ask you in class, VST stands for Virtual Studio Technology.
Different types of VSTs VSTs may be categorized based the types of input and output they have. VST Instruments (VSTi) VST instruments have the same purpose as soundfonts.They take MIDI data as input and output corresponding audio data.
In comparisson, soundfonts are “static” files containing sampled data while VSTi’s allow user interaction adjusting knobs here and there and using different setting presets. Imagine tweaking the tone or gain knobs of an electric guitar or its amplifier.Synthesizers Synthesizers generate sound programmatically. The sounds are not stored on the disk but are calculated as needed.Various audio synthesis techniques and physical modelling are used to emulate instrument sounds. There are also dedicated synthesizers that allow you to design your own sounds. Some examples of synthesized instrument VSTs include,. Romplers Real acoustic sounds are complex in nature. Therefore it would be a challenge to accurately synthesize them, especially for real time playing.
Hence, romplers or samplers share similarities to soundfonts as they also use static files that contain the sample sound data.Due to the bundled extra data they are typically larger than synthesizer based VST instruments. The VST instruments in are examples of romplers (that’s also where I learned the term).
Why not just use soundfonts then? Romplers allow more sound parameters to be tweaked. Advanced VSTs can also automate other rendition tweaks such as legato, chord detection, key-switching, arpeggios and many more that would otherwise require tweaking manually the MIDI arrangement. Companies would prefer to program their VSTs since this allows them to use special proprietary sample formats that protect them from being ripped off. They can also protect their products using license keys or other registration methods like how it’s done with many proprietary software.Samplers/sample players They are very similar to romplers.
The difference is that it loads other samples/soundfonts that you may already have. Are they of any use if your DAW can already load samples directly?They may offer more control and compatibility to the samples being loaded. Examples include DSK’s, Cakewalk’s, Plogue’s, Beat. VST effects Many stereo systems will have equalizers, or bass, treble and tone knobs.Some that allow microphone inputs will often have reverb or echo. Electric guitar amplifiers and effects would have a lot of knobs and pedals that alter the sound in many interesting ways.
Equalization, reverb, echo and other effects can also be done in computer audio.Encapsulating these effects as a VST makes them modular and be used across different DAWs. VST effects take in audio data as input then output them as modified audio data (which in turn can be sent to another VST effect, a process known as chaining). Since they don’t use MIDI as input, they can also be used audio editors such as.
Contains several examples of VST effects. Special purpose VSTs Since VSTs are computer programs, and computer programs can be anything that brilliant programmers can imagine, there are many VSTs that do not fall in the instrument or effects categories.
Examples include arpeggiators, spectrum analyzers, visualizers etc. Some VSTs will also have MIDI as an output, possibly modifying the input MIDI or detecting the notes of input audio.In the case of visualizers or analyzers the outuput is neither MIDI or audio. Using VSTs As with soundfonts, when I am asked by other beginners how do use VSTs, I just tell them to load them in t with a MIDI file.It handles VST instruments in a similar manner that it handles soundfonts. It also makes sense to use both VSTs and soundfonts in the same program. Digital audio work stations are expected to work with VSTs.
Some VST hosts applications will also you to play, without recording and editing around using a MIDI device as input.Has a good list of free VST hosts (I use Tocca’s, but its website is gone now). Recently, I’m also finding to be quite convenient, being a minimal/simplistic nag-less VST Host. Where to get VSTs I don’t know of a de facto website where you can get VSTs and anything would suggest wouldn’t be any better than what you can find via google search. Anyone tech savvy enough to program VSTs would likely maintain their own websites. Hence, VSTs would be scattered all over the internet. In any case, here are a few suggestions to get you started:.The first free VST website I knew.
They have a good collection of instruments. An assortment of VST instruments and effects. They are now, hence the special mention. Various pianos and a bass VSTi’s. Where you may find the Kjaerhus Audio Classic Series which contain effects such as equalizer, flanger, chorus, reverb and more.

A great community where you can find a lot of software meant for sound developers/DAW-ists/digital musicians.It lists both free and paid VSTs. makes an effort to list Free VSTs and seems quite updated. This is obviously not a definitive or exhaustive list.
There’s far too many of them, that I don’t even know if I’m suggesting the best ones. Just be happy that you have the freedom of choice! (Or sad that there’s too much to choose from. Reviews and forums can be helpful.):) Other formats Just like any computer program VSTs are not directly useable across operating systems.But since VSTs seldom (if not) use advanced OS specific APIs can do a good job in bridging this gap.
Needless to say, Apple and Linux have their own native alternatives to VSTs. These are (AU) and the (LADSPA) respecitvely. DAWs can also have some sort of VST-like modules that are not usable to other DAWs.
When I told my land lady before that I wanted a piano in my room, she advised me to buy one in December as prices would go down. The same rule applies for virtual instruments and other music making software.If you can wait, wait until December. I had seen many discounts, and hence, was able to purchase and at 1/3 and 1/2 their regular prices respectively.
In fact, there are too many such promos, that I decided to only discuss the products I actually bought and just give a more comprehensive link in KVR Audio for the rest.Elsewhere in the interwebs, (UK) has given a 30% off on all audiobooks (I’m a lazy reader) and sold their taskbar with a 50% discount. For sure there are more discounts for other products during the December holidays. Has some good effects.I would like to believe that deep in their hearts, vendors just simply want to give, when they are possessed by Christmas spirits. But of course, marketing wise, Christmas promos get them more publicity, attract customers who would otherwise never buy their products, and for those selling tangible stuff, get rid of the year’s unsold products. In any case, if you are not tricked into impulsive buying, it is a win-win situation IMHO. So, if you think a product is great, but have no immediate use for it, it may be good idea to be patient and wait.Also, if it software delivered via download, you don’t have to worry that it will run out of stock.
If the software is famous/reputable, its website would most probably still be around within the year. You might even realize that you can actually live without it as time goes by and you discover alternatives.:) Risks and considerations What you could worry about is that the price may go up as you wait. There is the possibility of inflation, and prices may rise with continuing software development expenses.
But so far, I’ve seen price increases are moderate when they do happen. Another consideration is major software upgrades. There are a lot of complaints when software undergo extreme make-overs like when MS Office 2007 was introduced.As the most affected are those who are used with the previous version, this may not be a problem for new customers. I haven’t used any previous versions of before, so unlike what others may claim, I find Guitar Pro 6 to be just fine. Whether or not an upgraded version will be discounted or for free if you have a previous version is another concern. It could be sad to pay extra a few months after buying a previous version.
Coda What a great way to start a year by waiting for it to end. I actually don’t feel very comfortable talking about all that buying stuff and whatnot as I prefer talking about free stuff which all of us can appreciate.But as consumers or prosumers, buying things is just part of getting things done. Happy New Year!:).
