Ask Video Orchestration 302 The MIDI Orchestra Designing Templates TUTORiAL-SYNTHiC4TE

You need an orchestra to play orchestral music. Likewise, you need an
orchestral template to play a MIDI orchestral score. This course, by
Peter Schwartz, explains the technology and the craft behind designing
pro orchestral templates.

As a follow-up to Peter's popular "Enhancing Realism" course,
"Designing Templates" shows you everything you need to know to
construct your own orchestral templates. You learn about sampling
technology and how it works, as well as how to optimize your hardware
(and software) to get the most out of your MIDI orchestra. Then, Peter
dives into the plugins, including East West, Native Instruments and
more, explaining the ins and outs of multi-timbral and multi-output
setups. With that knowledge well in hand, Peter gives you all the
tools and tips you need to construct an orchestral template that'll
work perfectly with your specific hardware and software.

Next, you learn all about the power of Vienna Ensemble Pro and how
it'll become the center of your MIDI orchestra universe. Finally,
this course concludes with an important section explaining how to
setup orchestral slave systems, which in the world of scoring, is the
solution of choice to harness the power needed to achieve the ultimate
MIDI orchestral solution.

Completing this course gives you the knowledge and confidence you need
to setup the orchestral template that you've always dreamed of. And,
once you’ve got your template up and running, you can then, finally,
concentrate less on the technology and focus more on composing your
music. So whether you're creating music for games, TV, film or live
performance, you will know that your personal orchestra is standing
by, ready to go, awaiting every wave of your virtual baton!
