Today we explore Metropolis ARK 5 in my review video. Should you buy Metropolis Ark 5 as a complement to your current orchestral library? What does it offer?
Ark 5 is the final volume in the Metropolis series developed by Orchestral Tools. This new orchestral sample library adds powerful tools for dramatic and intense orchestral scores. If you love the works of Wagner you’ll love the Ark series.

The library focus on expanding your sample library with fresh: sustains, swells, marcato and staccato / spiccato patches for strings, woodwinds and brass. You also get some really nice stabs, rips, glissandos and Shepard tones for those suspenseful build ups. Multivowel legato choir and some analog synth patches to beef up your score.

Metropolis ark 5 is a great orchestral toolkit for upfront trailer themes.

The library is recorded in the Teldex Scoring Stage in Berlin with multiple microphones and setups for a tight to expressively lush sound. Metropolis Ark 5 also features blended instrument ensembles for quick melodic lines with patches like violin + wind, and brass + wind.

In the video we play a short demo score I did featuring Metropolis Ark 5 + some additional percussion from Ark 1. Furthermore, we explore the various patches used in the composition and what kind of microphone setups were used.

Thanks for watching,
