The new player for your favorite instruments.

v1.2.2 What's new? System requirements

On your phone? No download here because SINE will only run on your computer.

Getting started in SINE is just 3 steps...

Launch SINEplayer, and download an instrument from My Licenses

Select an instrument, or a sound, from your Library and drag it into the list on the right

Play the instrument, make music

And then you can start to explore. Have fun!

Your next steps in SINE

We designed the SINEplayer around the typical composer workflow. There are loads of ways to manage and adjust your instruments in SINE, but here are the most important ones.

How to load an instrument

Just drag an instrument to the Articulation List on the right. You can load instruments or articulations—drag and drop.

How to manage articulations

Instruments have multiple articulations—different playing styles and sounds. You can arrange them as you like to suit your music and playing style.

How to download more instruments

When you need more instruments, head to My Licenses and download what you need. Or check the store to get new collections and instruments.

Benefits of using SINE

Just download what you need

Relax about your disk space: Just download the instruments and mic positions you need—no need to download the entire collection at once. Same goes for the shop, too: You can buy single instruments instead of full collections if you prefer.

Easy to customize

Some people like working with keyswitches, some people don’t. No problem—you can customize SINE to match your workflow. The articulation list is really powerful, and there are loads of advanced options under the hood.

Detailed control when you need it

From total control over dynamics and round robins to multiple legato options, when you want pin-point control, it’s there. But it won’t get in your way when you don’t need it.

Mix and merge

Preserve your system resources: Fine-tune your mix using multiple mic positions, then merge into a single channel within the player.

Great sounds included, totally FREE

The SINEplayer includes an array of useful instruments—piano, strings, percussion, and more. This is our free SINEfactory library, and it’s constantly growing. Take a look under My Licenses, and download what you need.

FAQ

Why do I need to use a player?

It makes a lot of things easier. For example, on a basic level it means you have a consistent workflow across all your OT collections. This is key—we created SINE originally because we felt that the tools available at the time weren’t really suited to a compositional workflow. And advanced users can get even more out of SINE—being able to build combination patches with instruments from multiple collections, or the detailed dynamics control, for example. On a practical level, it saves us from putting the same features in every collection we release.

Does SINE include any sounds?

Yes! SINE itself is a player engine and an instrument store, so you can get sounds, or instruments, from within SINE: Start out with our free SINEfactory instruments—you’ll find a free piano, strings, percussion, and more under My Licenses. Then head to the Store to pick up our free orchestral chords collection, Layers.

Is it really free? What’s the catch?

Yes, it’s really free, and there’s no catch. All you need to do is set up an OT account. We treat your account data with the utmost care—it’s secure and it’s not shared anywhere. And we recommend that you sign up for our newsletters. Our marketing mails are optional, but if you’re subscribed, you’ll get to hear about new product releases and special offers, and maybe get a free gift for the holidays…

Does it work in Pro Tools?

As of SINE update 1.0.6, yes. It took us a while to make it AAX compatible, so you might see some old comments here and there. But it’s working now—sorry to all you Pro Tools folks who had to wait, it was a tough nut to crack.

Does it work in FL Studio?

Yes, it does. There were some issues with early SINE versions, but they’re solved now.

I'm having an issue with SINE, can someone help me?

Yes! If you’re experiencing an issue with SINE, please consult our Helpdesk page for guidance. If the issue persists, reach out to our dedicated support team at support@orchestraltools.com. They’re great, and they’ll be happy to assist you.

VST3 support

Now available for Windows and macOS

Accurate timestretching

Timestretching now correctly follows the host tempo

System requirements

Mac
  • macOS 10.13 or higher
  • Intel Core i5 or similar; Apple M1 or higher.
  • 8GB RAM (16GB+ recommended)
Windows
  • Windows 10 64bit

General Notes

A lower number of higher-clocking cores are better than a higher number of lower-clocking cores.

A base frequency of 3.6 Ghz or higher works best.

If your CPU is from before 2012, please first check with the free Layers collection if your CPU supports SINE Player! First generation Intel Core CPUs, AMD Phenom II, and similar older CPUs from earlier than 2012 might be missing specific instruction sets.

We strongly recommend SSD drives over regular HDD for the best performance results.

  • Standalone
  • VST
  • VST3
  • AU
  • AAX

What's new?

Version: v1.2.2

Changes in this version:


- 1.2.1: Legato behaviour when keyswitching between different legato articulations has been optimized.

AAX Support on Apple ARM-based machines

- The AAX version of SINEplayer is now natively supported on Apple's ARM-based machines. All other formats (standalone, VST3, AU) were already natively supported previously.

UI Refresh:

- Sliders in the Articulation Options have a new design that shows their exact value. You can edit the value by double-clicking in the value box or moving the slider.

Tweaks

- Loading a SINEplayer instance with no enabled mic positions will no longer enable the first position.

- Mixer and Articulation Options sliders will now reset to their default value when double clicking, or Ctrl/Cmd-Clicking.

- The Dynamics tab in the Articulation Options will once more show the dynamics of articulations with only a single velocity layer. Furthermore, the text "Single Layer" will be shown to make it clear that there is a single layer.

Fixes:

- macOS: Cmd-Clicking Mixer or Articulation Options sliders will reset them.

- macOS: Cmd-Clicking in the Articulation Map is correctly registered as a right click now.

- The Alternative Release keyswitch was not always visually removed from the keyboard. It will now disappear correctly when not needed.

- The speed zone and velocity zone labels were sometimes not drawn correctly in the Legato tab of the Articulation Options.

- Some button fonts have been enlarged to fit with the recent UI changes.

- The buttons in the Articulation Options will rescale correctly now when the SINEplayer window is made smaller.
