Sonora Cinematic has announced the release of the first in a new series of orchestral instruments for Audiomodern’s free Soundbox sampler.
One of the few cinematic orchestral collections currently available for the Soundbox platform, the Transfigured Orchestra series features sounds captured from recordings of a full string ensemble, woodwinds and brass in a variety of articulations. These are merged in 30 curated presets to offer composers and producers a beautiful and rich cinematic palette.
The first volume in the series – The Quiet Ensemble – focuses on the intimate, softer sounds of a chamber ensemble. From single instrumental sections to super cinematic orchestral combinations and hybrid soundscapes, the 30 presets feature pianissimo and sordino strings and super soft French horns and clarinets. Users will also discover flutter-tonguing woodwinds, which are great for organic movement, plus granular transformations of the horn and string ensembles for hybrid, haunting textures.
These delicate cinematic instruments bring warmth and emotion into compositions, making them ideal for scoring films, TV series, and video games, and for creating rich, emotive cinematic and ambient music.
Transfigured Orchestra Vol. 1: The Quiet Ensemble is available to download now from the Sonora Cinematic website for the introductory price of £19 GBP until August 4th, 2025 (regular £29 GBP). Soundbox is free to download at the Audiomodern website.
