I About this Articulation Guide
The number of Orchestral Tools is constantly growing and covers all instrumental families of the orchestra,
with some collections even branching out into non-orchestral instruments. This Articulation Guide describes
all contained articulations as well as their technical properties (velocity layers, Round Robins, and many
more).
This document is a special version of the Articulation Guide that only contains features applicable to thecollections listed below.You can download the full Articulation Guide that applies to all Orchestral Tools collections in our Helpdesk.
The following table lists all collections covered by this Articulation Guide with their current Capsule version
as well as the minimum Kontakt version.

II Introduction
Welcome to the Orchestral Tools Articulation Guide!
Orchestral Tools provides high-quality sampled instruments for composers. Thanks to our Capsule Scripting
Framework developed in-house, all Orchestral Tools collections look and work in a very similar way.
Articulation names, labeling and all technical terms are identical in every collections, so you will find it easy
to find your way around.
This Articulation Guide describes all articulations as well as their technical features and is organized as
follows:
- The general Ser ies Overv iew shows you all available Orchestral Tools Series', which group our
collections into broader categories.
- Following this is the respective Ser ies Overv iew Page of one particular Series, which lists all available
collections by name and gives suggestions for expansions options.
- Each individual collection then has its own Col lect ion Overv iew page, which describes the general
content of the collection as well as its most important features at a glance.
- This is followed by the Inst ruments Section, which lists all instruments (or sections) contained in the
collection with a short description of tone, scope or other pertinent information.
- The Ar t iculat ions Section finally lists all articulations in detail along with all their properties.

III Recording and Concept
We are happy to have found a sonic home for our collections at the Teldex Scoring Stage in Berlin.
The large recording stage at Teldex looks back on a long tradition of many well known and Grammy®
award winning recordings. Famous orchestras, like the Berlin Philharmonics and great film composers from
the USA and Europe trust and love the wide and clear acoustics of this room. One of the best sounding
scoring stages in Europe, this room together with a fantastic complement of legendary microphones catapults
our work to a new level of orchestral sampling.
The quality of a sampled collection begins with the recording. Every Orchestral Tools collection is recorded
at 96khz with state of the art equipment. The full editing and post-production process uses these 96khz
recordings without downsampling. We very rarely denoise our recordings and never treat them in any other
automated way. If tuning is needed, it is done by ear without resorting to tuning algorithms. Only at the very
end, right before the samples are mapped into their instruments, the content is converted to 48khz for best
use of resources.
Our goal is to provide a set of tools that easily adapts to any workflow and creates a coherent sonic
representation of the orchestra. The main way we achieved this is by recording every instrument in its
orchestral position. All collections come pre-panned and pre-mixed with their respective volumes
balanced. If there are multiple types of the same instrument, they are recorded in slightly different positions,
yet still in their general section area. The different snare drums in Berlin Percussion, for example, have been
recorded slightly spread over the general "snare drum area" within the percussion section. This allows you to
have a very wide and full sound when combining multiple instruments.
We deliberately choose to also record non-traditional instruments as belonging to a symphonic setup, like
electric guitars and a drumset in our Metropolis Ark Series. Modern media scoring introduces a host of new
instruments into the established orchestral lineup and we feel these instruments deserve the same care and
precision in fitting them into the symphonic sound as their traditional counterparts.
All collections feature a number of microphone positions commonly used in orchestral recording. The
position of these microphones is identical in every collection, which means that for example the Tree is much
nearer to the string section that it is to the percussion section (because the percussion section is situated at
the back of the orchestra). This enabled lively acoustics that come pre-mixed for the respective stage
position. The choice of mic positions also depends greatly on the instrument. Some instruments, especially in
the percussion section, benefit greatly from a M/S position to enable accurately positioning the sound
source.
Wherever possible, similar instruments use the same mapping scheme so it is usually possible to transfer
MIDI data from one instrument to another easily. This is especially important and useful for percussion.

IV Berlin Series
The Berlin Series is Orchestral Tools' ongoing journey to harnessing the sound of the Teldex Scoring stage
in an all-purpose orchestral sample collection.
Every major section of the orchestra is represented by one Main Collection, which contains all essentials
instruments and articulations and forms the backbone of any symphonic piece. These collections are
expanded and continued by special expansion collections, which add additional instruments or playing
techniques.
The following table lists all Berlin Series Collections currently released - underlined names jump to a
description of its content and unique features. You can download a version of this Articulation Guide that
applies to all released Collections on our Helpdesk.
When you load any Berlin Series patch inside Kontakt, the instrument slot will show an icon representing the

4.1 Berlin Brass
Berlin Brass unites a host of Berlin's finest brass players in the Teldex Scoring Stage to deliver flexible solo
brass and ensembles in one comprehensive package. Following in the footsteps of the award-winning
Berlin Woodwinds, Berlin Brass gives you individual solo brass instruments in addition to sections for
ultimate flexibility in voicings.
Since its first release, the Berlin Series has become the premium standard for major composers around the
world. Composers who believe in technology, an extraordinary room, the finest musicians and a variety of
many useful articulations.
With Berlin Brass, Orchestral Tools deliver the first class Brass Collection that completes the Berlin
Orchestra. Recorded at the famous Teldex Scoring Stage, this Collection combines definition with true
power. Berlin Brass follows a whole new approach, which was developed over years of experimentation
to achieve the next level of flexibility and realism for sophisticated brass arrangements.
Thanks to CAPSULE, the most flexible articulation management system on the market, all Berlin Series
instruments form a unity of sound for premium ambitions and a customizable workflow that will unleash all the
potential that lies in the original premium sample recordings.
Instrumentation and Recording
Berlin Brass contains fourteen instruments or instrumental sections, which are divided into patches containing
a single articulation as well as multi articulation patches. You will find all of these patches inside the
Instruments folder. The collection contains the following instruments or sections, as they appear in your
instruments folder:
01. Horn 1
02. Horn 2
03. Horn 3
04. Horn 4
05. Horn Ensemble a4
06. Trumpet 1
07. Trumpet 2
08. Trumpet 3
09. Trumpet Ensemble a3
10. Trombone 1
11. Trombone 2
12. Bass Trombone
13. Trombone Ensemble a3
14. Tuba
This structure is identical for Single Articulation, Multi Articulation and Time Machine-enabled patches.
All instruments within a section are different instruments played by different musicians, not just additional
recording passes.
You have free choice between six microphone positions, Close I and II, ORTF, AB, Tree and Surround.
These microphone positions are switchable in the GUI and can be controlled via MIDI CC. Additionally, all
7

core articulations have been recorded with multiple velocity layers for realistic dynamics.
All samples have their natural panning.

4.1.1 Instruments
The Brass instruments in Berlin Brass provide you with a broad set of essential orchestral brass instruments.
This section briefly explains the individual instruments and points out usage scenarios and expansion
options.
A b o u t t h e M i c r o p h o n e P o s i t i o n s :
The Tree, AB and Surround positions as in all OT Collections are placed in fixed positions and are never
moved. Their sound is identical to their counterparts in all other OT Collections.
The ORTF is always centered in front of the respective section. So for example the four horns are from left
to right, filling the whole spectrum. The same applies to the trumpets and trombones. This provides a
balanced position, not quite dry, but also not as wet as the other positions. Furthermore, this way it is
possible to "move around" the section on the stage.
Close I and II are different stereo pairs focused on the respective section. With the exception of the Horns
(see below), these are placed identically, but differ in sound.
Horns and Horn Ensemble a4
Berlin Brass contains four French Horns, which have been recorded both separately as well as in a section.
All Horns feature identical articulations and have tonal differences, making them individually suited for
specific tasks as well as working together in a lively section.
Roughly, the four horns can be described with the following characteristics:
Horn 1: High Horn
Horn 2: Balanced
Horn 3: Full Range
Horn 4: Low Horn, more volume
On all Horns, the Close I stereo pair is placed in front of the instruments; the Close II stereo pair is placed
behind the instrument pointing at the bell.
Trumpets and Trumpet Ensemble a3
Three individual trumpets are sampled individually as well as in a section. BBR uses C Trumpets throughout.
Trombones and Trombone Ensemble a3
Two Tenor Trombones and a Bass Trombone are sampled individually as well as together in a section.
Tuba
The BBR Tuba is a traditional Tuba in F.
N o t a b l e A r t i c u l a t i o n s :
Berlin Brass features a number of unique articulations in addition to the regular staples. These include:
