3.10 HOLLYWOOD ORCHESTRAL PERCUSSION
The Hollywood Orchestral Percussion Opus Edition library is designed to work together
with the other libraries in the Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition series. It includes the
same variety of microphone positions and other features that help them blend into a
unified sound.
The Hollywood Orchestral Percussion Opus Edition library contains a wide variety of in-
struments typical in an orchestral movie soundtrack—and, of course, it can be used for
many other types of music, as well.
3.10.1 Solo Instruments and Kits
For the purpose of the tables in this chapter, the library can be grouped into five sets of
instruments based on how the sound is generated. They are:
• Combo Kits
• Cymbals
• Drums
• Metals
• Wood
3.10.2 Instrument Categories and Types
The Instruments Types in each category are relatively consistent between instruments.
PLEASE NOTE: Detailed instrument and performance descriptions are available in the
Description Box of the Browse page.
Combo Kits
These instruments combine a variety of core orchestral percussion instruments into a
single instrument.
Orchestral Perc Basics Kit 1
An assortment of core orchestral percussion instruments mapped to white keys from note
C0 to A6, each with a variety of articulations and a round robin (x2) cycle. CC 11 (Expres-
sion), and Note Velocity control overall loudness, and Note Velocity controls dynamics (up
to 16 levels). It provides quick access to all the essentials of a percussion section so you
can create detailed mock ups faster.
Below is a list of the starting note of each instrument in parenthesis, followed by the in-
strument name, followed by the range of notes containing each articulation, and details
related to them.
• (C0) Timpani Felt Long — C0–E1; a chromatic scale of long hits, alternating LH and RH
