Amped-up analog synths

Incorporate electronic textures into your orchestral sound with a hand-picked collection of vintage analog synths and modular systems—the first electronic instruments included in the Metropolis Ark series. For seamless integration with orchestral patches, synths were re-amped and recorded on the Teldex Scoring Stage with the same multi-mic setup used for capturing the orchestra. Choose from iconic tones and overdriven patches that give you a quick way to add bite.

About the Metropolis Ark Series

The five collections form a cohesive whole that’s perfect for movie trailers, but comprehensive and detailed enough for all kinds of musical heavy-lifting. If you need orchestral sounds that go way beyond the ordinary and conventional, then roll out the Metropolis Ark.
