Embellish passages with decorative effects and flourishes using performed rips and short samples that are perfect for arpeggiation.
For runs and fast gestures

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.
