Inspired by Fritz Lang’s awe-inspiring 1927 movie Metropolis, this is the revolution of epic in a single box.
A huge orchestra, a choir, percussion, a grand piano, and a metal band with a single vision: Bold, loud, and breathtaking.
Metropolis Ark 1 features the loudest imaginable dynamics, ranging from mf up to fff.
All instruments were recorded with first-call musicians at the Teldex Scoring Stage in Berlin.

The orchestra is specially configured to deliver maximum gravitas: Special sections such as 4 contra bassoons playing in unison, a bass trombone ensemble, a cimbasso ensemble or 12 basses + 6 celli playing together in octaves offer finely balanced low end.
METROPOLIS ARK 1 includes multiple french horn ensembles:
A big 9-piece horn section for soaring horn melodies and a smaller 3-piece horn ensemble specifically designed to play chords.
Together with two guitars playing brutal, saturated power chords, and a massive sinister choir singing at the highest dynamics, this collection will give your compositions new depth and dynamic range.

Since I like to have many Kontakt libraries but don’t want to fill my hard drives with them, I minify them, keeping only what I really need from them.
Removed all Amp mics for Guitars/Bass, since it’s relatively easy to use the dry signal with an amp simulation FX, like Guitar Rig, that sounds much better.
Added a Convolution Reverb with a Teldex Scoring Stage Impulse Response that Orchestral Tools uses in their Studio recordings, to blend nicely with their other Teldex Stage recordings.
