Critic Reviews

Native Instruments and Orchestral Tools’s Arkhis creates compelling underscores

musictech.com

Native Instruments and Orchestral Tools' Arkhis delivers a rich and versatile sound design experience, perfect for crafting cinematic scores. With its impressive collection of 160 multi-samples and a user-friendly layering engine, it allows for intricate textural compositions. However, while the layering and morph control features are highlighted as strengths, the review stops short of mentioning any significant downsides, making it feel a bit one-sided. The overall excitement from users in the music technology community adds to its appeal, though potential buyers may want to consider their specific needs before diving in.
