Are there stock full orchestra combis?

Post by ChrisDuncan »

Hey, guys.

Early on when I got my Kronos 2, I remember YouTube videos of people playing full orchestras. Was working on something last week that needed one and couldn't find anything like it.

Was I just seeing combis that people have built up using the individual instruments, or am I not looking in the right place?

You should find 40 stock combis specified as "orchestral" in the K2. Start doing a category search in combi mode, then if you are looking for a more "complete" orchestra, expand your search with the sub-category "large". Then you can build from those and create your own using the stock stuff.

Thanks, KK!

That's exactly what I was looking for, plus the unexpected pleasure of some of the Renaissance ones. I realize now that I was searching in program mode and not combi.

I've had this thing for years and there are still unexpected bonuses. It's like finding a whole new sound library that I didn't know I had.

This thing is the gift that keeps on giving.

Hi Chris, you are welcome ! :D

I remember there is at least one of those orchestral combis that is cool in that when you play strongly on the lower octaves, timpanies come out to add a dramatic effect. 8) I agree with you that the K2 is an incredible machine and full of potential to discover even after playing it several years.
