What is Virtual Playing Orchestra?

The Virtual Playing Orchestra is a comprehensive free orchestral sample library that provides the sounds of all the instruments typically found in a symphonic orchestra. Designed to be played back through a MIDI interface and a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), this sample library combines the best elements from the Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra with newly available free orchestra sounds, adding missing articulations and ensuring each sample can sustain for as long as the note is held. With this extensive collection of orchestral sounds at users' fingertips, composers, producers, and hobbyists alike can craft rich, detailed musical arrangements with ease
