Orchestral Tools - Free Sine Library

[JoeGBradford]

Looks like OT are following in the footsteps of Spitfire - should be some good stuff in there - kicking off late January

This looks like OT's version of ProjectSAM's The Free Orchestra

[JoeGBradford]

Isn't PS Free Orchestra a one off whilst this seems more like Labs - intermittent releases of individual instruments?

[antler]

Now that I think about it, yes - your right: Free Orchestra was a one-off finite set. I had read the video description

In 2021, we’ll start a subscription service. But not a regular subscription service: Sign up to SINEfactory and you’ll get a steady stream of exclusive free instruments delivered straight to your mailbox. These instruments provide a solid foundation for sketching ideas and building tracks—they’re effectively a curated factory library for SINE. Kick-off is late January!

and assumed each instalment was a patch from one of their libraries.

It is now. It started off much like Labs (early Labs were Kontakt) or the Klang series., with new instruments added periodically They consolidated into one bank recently (like a year or so ago).

Ah thanks I didn't know that as I downloaded as one bundle

By the way, they talked about this in their recent OT special event video.

They did a sort of free string library before Spitfire did their BBC Discovery product. Let's hope that it is more stable. I remember being unable to use the string library, as the plugin would crash and take the DAW with it second after being opened.

agreed - I found it very buggy ...haven't bothered to revisit it either.

I have their free Layers orchestral instrument and haven't had any problems with that

[Bruno de Souza Lino]

It would be a really tough sale, especially considering how small BBC SO Discovery is, proving that you don't need hundreds of GB in file size to make a convincing sounding orchestral plugin.
