Novation Launchkey exclusive
A free collection created for Novation Launchkey owners, the Parallel Orchestra offers an original take on premium orchestral sampling, applying contemporary sound design to acoustic sounds. The resulting instruments are by turns familiar and unfamiliar, adding inspiring twists and nuances to your tracks.
Six expressive instruments offer an inspiring palette of sounds from piano, strings, and percussion to ambient textures and a full, dark orchestra. Use the modwheel to bring layers of sound in and out, and control the intensity of your sounds.
Runs in Orchestral Tools’ free SINEplayer app.
Exclusive for Novation Launchkey owners: Orchestral instruments and textures.
How to get your Parallel Orchestra
Tips and tricks
Experiment with the modwheel: Most of the instruments will respond when you move the modwheel, bringing layers of sound in and out.
Stack sounds: Load multiple instruments in SINE, and set them all to the same MIDI channel—you can play all sounds at once, creating your own complex patches. Use the mixer to manage volume levels.
Extend the key range: Some instruments, the Woodwinds parallax for example, have a smaller key range—this preserves the natural sound of the instrument. But if you need more range, drag the dot to extend the range up and/or down. The ‘new’ notes will sound less natural, but offer some interesting effects.

Mic merging
Preserve your system resources: Fine-tune your mix using multiple mic positions, then merge into a single channel within the player.
Greater usability
SINE is designed to complement the compositional workflow. Create on the fly with auto keyswitch options, and easy remapping tools.
Download single instruments
