VOLTAGE AND DRAMA – FROM THE DARK SIDE
Give your action, sci-fi and horror movie a blockbuster boost with the fourth volume in ProjectSAM’s acclaimed Symphobia series. Pandora lets you conjure rousing cinematic risers, premonition falls, and jaw-dropping crescendos with unparalleled ease and flexibility. Pandora’s innovative Adaptive Sync quickly and effortlessly combines a huge library of articulations and effects with your sequence, so your next due date doesn’t have to be a nightmare. In addition, fully customizable sound design tools help you quickly create the sounds you want.
INTRODUCING ADAPTIVE SYNC
Pre-recorded crescendos and rolls sound great. But they had a drawback: they were not very flexible. Any composer will recognize the process of trial and error, nudging a note with a crescendo until it ends at the right place. It’s a tedious task that most of us would rather skip if we could.
Symphobia 4: Pandora is filled with transient samples – sounds that progress dynamically or directionally over time – from powerful brass crescendos to dissonant garlands. All these samples have one thing in common: a clear musical ending or climax.
With Adaptive Sync, you can simply set the number of beats or seconds you need to crescendo, roll, or lift. When touching a huge pool, Adaptive Sync automatically selects the most appropriate entry from its database and intelligently adjusts it to match your hit point exactly. Similarly, you can very quickly time a crescendo or throw in the next hit*. If you move a note forward or backward, the engine will automatically switch to a more suitable notation if necessary. If you change the tempo of your track, Adaptive Sync will change accordingly.
Bold articulations and hunting effects
Symphobia 4: Pandora features a wide selection of big and bold, playable ensemble articulations, ranging from cellos and basses to a massive 30-piece Tutti orchestra. For all the crescendos and excitement, Adaptive Sync is here to help.
All articulations have been selected and recorded to add unprecedented volume to the existing orchestral template. Symphobia 4: Pandora is the ultimate cinematic finishing touch.
The choice of instruments offers exciting, additional sonic layers that can be mixed with the main articulation on the fly. For example, Tutti Orchestra’s crescendo tool displays controls for quickly adding grand cashier rolls, timpani, and cymbals. Similarly, you can quickly add sweetener to bass drum and percussion instruments.
The Symphobia series has always been the perfect place for orchestral effects. For Pandora, many of the bones were chilled during the effects sessions. The library contains more orchestral effects than ever, from creepy violin textures to loud brass hits. And with Adaptive Sync and Sound Design Mode, recorded effects are now more flexible and customizable than ever. For thriller, horror, and sci-fi scores, Symphobia 4: Pandora is a must.
The dedicated Pandora effects module, combined with the Sound Design Mode, gives you the ability to completely flip any orchestral sound, creating dark soundscapes and ominous textures using synchronized stutter, pitch envelope and other custom effects.
SOUND DESIGN MODE
Clicking on the triangle icon activates the Sound Design Mode. This allows you to directly manipulate the selection of matched samples and customize your presets using the waveform control. You can trigger sampled positions, reverse playback, reverse sync down, time stretch, and more. These features are available even for tools that use streaming by default. We continue to build on the foundation of Sound Design Mode in future library updates**.
Clicking the triangle icon again will immediately return you to the safety of orchestral mode.
PULSES
Symphobia 4: Pandora has both cluster and tonal pulses.
Cluster Pulses are idiomatic note combinations that add an instant cinematic boost to your track. Each clef contains a different notated group of notes for strings, brass, and woodwinds. There is a suitable crescendo phrase and staccato crescendo for each impulse. They work great as intros and outs, especially when paired with Pandora’s Adaptive Sync crescendos and rolls. Tonal impulses are available for low and medium strings played in octaves and unison, respectively. Tonal Pulses offer additional synchronized synthesis layers that can be mixed with an orchestral Pulse on the fly.
All impulses were recorded in 4, 8 and 16 repetitions. The Pandora interface allows you to switch the middle circuit with completely unchanged timing.
RISERS
No film library is complete without a solid collection of stretch strings. For Pandora, several recording sessions were devoted exclusively to this, spanning from 2 to 15 seconds in various playing techniques and dynamic arcs, including arcos, accelerating staccatos, harmonicas and sul-ponticello tremolo. This is where adaptive timing makes it easy to align Risers with your sequence.
You can use the orchestral Risers in their original form or give them a trailer treatment by adding an idiomatic, speedy stutter effect and some saturation with the help of the Pandora effects module. Several shots are included as inspirational examples. Pandora also includes a set of disturbing string down jackets.
