Majestica

Majestica is quite simply one of the largest symphony orchestras ever recorded, containing over 240 players divided into strings, brasses, woodwinds and percussion. Derived from 8Dio’s exclusive V8P sample catalog – Majestica is designed for composers and producers that desire the ultimate, unrivaled epic symphonic sound. Majestica was recorded in the same large world-class orchestral hall used for the exclusive 8Dio V8P – and contains over 23 GB of content recorded at 96 kHz. The UI system for Majestica was built from scratch and contains over 35,000 lines of code giving you the ultimate experience in ease, flexibility and playability.

String Theory
Majestica holds a massive 100-piece string ensemble spread across basses, cellos, violas and violins. The string section contains true legato, regular and fast type of spiccato, marcato, bartok, con legno, expressive dynamic bowings (aka arcs). The Majestica String Ensemble can both be soft like silk and intergalactically powerful. The bass and cellos sections are the largest ever sampled and the gorgeous, airy sound created by the violas and violins just makes the entire string section come to life.

Powerful Percussion
Majestica contains a 20-piece percussion ensemble that can add a thunderous presence to your composition. The percussion section contains dedicated tom-tom ensembles, gran-casa ensembles, timpani ensembles, major snare ensembles, as well as tambourine, anvil and stick ensembles. In addition there are percussion master patches and sound designed super percussion that will pierce through any epic mix and it all just works – right out of the box.

Majestic Brass
Majestica contains a 60-piece brass ensemble consisting of players flown in from six different countries to participate. The brass ensemble includes 10 Cimbassos, 10 Bass Trombones, 30 French Horns and 10 Trumpets. The sound is not just bigger then anything you have ever heard – it is also different. The Majestica brass ensemble contains all the core building blocks you need from sustains to staccato, marcato to expressive arcs etc.

Whirling Winds
Majestica contains two separate woodwind sections. A low woodwind section comprised of 15 bass clarinets and 15 contra bassoons, and a high woodwind section comprised of 10 alto flutes, 10 flutes and 10 piccolo flutes. The sound of the low ensemble is unbelievable rich and fat – and the sound of the high woodwind ensemble can penetrate even the beefiest of mixes. The woodwinds contains both sustains, staccatissimo, double tongue, expressive arcs, trills (min/maj), gorgeous marcato etc.
