Orchestral Tools announces Miroire—Rich period instruments and vocal samples in a modern sample collection

Berlin, August 18, 2021—Orchestral Tools announces the release of Miroire—a modern sample collection that features period instruments plus voices inspired by an earlier era, all recorded with specialist musicians. With an array of string, woodwind, brass, and choir samples, users can get exactly the right sound for period dramas or fantasy-themed TV shows, films, and games. But Miroire is also intended as an inspiring sound aesthetic that can evoke new ideas for any kind of creative music production. Miroire can be pre-ordered for €249 until the product is released on September 2, 2021. An introductory price of €299 will be available from September 2 through September 16. The regular price for the collection is €399.

Miroire features instruments constructed and played according to eighteenth-century traditions. Baroque violins and violas use gut strings and period bows for warm tonality with complex overtones. Five solo woodwind instruments—including Baroque flute and oboe, oboe d’amore, and oboe de caccia—provide a mellow, intimate timbre. Four valveless trumpet and horn instruments, all restricted to harmonic-series notes, deliver a powerful, direct sound. Miroire also includes a basso continuo section—with double bass, two celli, and a bassoon—for creating unison bass lines.

The Miroire choir offers the perfect vocal complement to the period instruments. Performed by an early music choir singing vowels from eighteenth-century liturgy, the samples provide pure, natural tones with little vibrato. Coloratura legato enables fast ornamentations. Distinct male and female sections enhance the flexibility for building choral parts.
