ProjectSAM's Symphobia is a comprehensive orchestral sample library designed to elevate your film, TV, and video game scores with breathtaking realism. This isn't your standard collection of solo instrument samples; instead, Symphobia offers ensemble multi-samples that capture the rich, full-bodied sound of entire orchestral sections performing together. From the soaring strings to the thunderous brass, each note is recorded in a magnificent concert hall, ensuring a cohesive and authentic sound that solo samples simply can't match.

The 20GB library is divided equally between these ensemble performances and a treasure trove of cinematic effects. Expect to find everything from hair-raising violin glissandi and full orchestra rips to dark textures and trailer risers. The library also includes an array of unique "Multis," combinations of ensembles and effects that create one-of-a-kind sounds, perfect for crossing genres and pushing creative boundaries.

Symphobia is more than just a library; it includes Native Instruments' Kontakt Player, offering custom scripting that provides features like simulated legato, an octaver, and a master EQ. With two mic sets available—Concert Stage and Close—you can easily find the perfect sound for your production. Whether you're crafting an epic battle scene or a serene landscape, Symphobia delivers the tools you need for professional-grade compositions.
