Spitfire Audio and BT introduce ‘Insanely Deep’ Polaris Orchestral Synthesizer
Spitfire Audio, in collaboration with electronic music guru Brian Transeau, aka BT, has introduced a new software synthesizer, Polaris, that they describe as “the ultimate Orchestral Synthesizer”.
Polaris is an extended orchestral sound library featuring orchestral recordings resampled using a wide range of classic synthesizers.
In addition, Polaris offers a huge array of classic synth sounds – deep samples from classic CS-80, Lexicon 224, Prophet T8, Oberheim OB-Xa, Matrix 12, Jupiter 8, and Prophet 5.
What they say about it:
“Massive multi-layers of complex yet accessible organic string orchestral recordings, captured at AIR studios, resampled using an array of classic and rare synthesizers, a cosmic collection of new string techniques has been specifically orchestrated to emulate electronic music production techniques. This sophisticated and eclectic sound library, performed by London’s top-tier contemporary players at renowned AIR Lyndhurst Hall, captures the future of blockbuster scoring.
