It’s one thing to play the notes you want to use but another to bring them to life.
In this video , I’m working with Spitfire Audio’s BBC Symphony Orchestra library to have a first look at Orchestral programming, beginning with a Violin phrase.

So, this episode will explore some of the key ways that composers putting together orchestral mock-ups work with sample libraries to make them feel more musical. I’ll show you the key MIDI Controllers - Modulation (#1), Expression (#11) and Vibrato (#21), to explore what each can offer a melody. We’ll also see how Logic’s Force Legato feature can help shape a phrase and how Velocity can be used to introduce Glissando. Let’s take the first steps into orchestral programming.
