- Опубликовано: 12 дек 2024
- These are the best FREE realistic symphonic instrument VSTs of 2019. In this video you will hear about the Sonatina Orchestra and the Versilian Standard Chamber Orchestra. Both sound realistic with strings, brass, woodwind, harp, choir, and many more. We play some of the sounds so you can hear how good and useful they are.

(NEW - ADDED IN MAY 2020) Also check out the fantastic new FREE 'Orchestral Sound Layers' at: • Free VST - Orchestral ...
Thanks for the kind words. A little background, Mattias used older samples from the free music world about a decade ago to create Sonatina. He carefully edited and added reverb and such to make it sound more like a coherent orchestra. Sam created VSCO2 by recording his college friends or having friends record in other countries. So the samples are quite new and generally played by college music students. They are very dry and you need to add more reverb. As a chamber orchestra it has a more intimate sound featuring solo instruments while Sonatina has a larger sound like a full orchestra.
Both have SFZ versions from the original creator. I simplified the orchestras and tried to make them more consistent by normalizing samples and editing start times especially on short samples. It might be worth trying the SFZ VSCO2 for a more natural feel and seeing if you like that better. Also Paul created the SFZ Virtual Playing Orchestra using these and other samples in a lovely orchestra that has its own feel.
Almost all free instruments are limited. VSCO2 has about 2000 samples total or roughly 100 samples per instrument. High end paid instruments might have thousands of samples per instrument. Generally the sustains don't have 'round robins' but the short notes do. Most notes have a strong and a soft velocity layer though some have a mid velocity layer as well. Again a pro instrument would often have many.
Pro samples are played by professional musicians, often very talented ones, while these come from college students or hobbyists. They just aren't as good as the musicians employed by Spitfire or Berlin and it does show. Some of the notes aren't as good as I would like. Combined with most instruments using the same sample for three or four semitones this does create weaknesses in certain parts of instruments. Still for free it seems quite usable to me, though obviously I'm very biased. These were intended to allow a free way to learn and make music for friends. It is expected that as you move forward you will buy pro instruments when you start selling your music to Hollywood! Think of it as your starter violin before you buy your Stradivarius and play at Carnegie Hall.
Joe, thanks for all this information. Good to know something about the background.
When skipping to the demonstrations... this video was gold and insightful.
Thanks
*Thank you for doing reviews on free plugins, very grateful to you. You have spent time on it and I really appreciate it.*
Thanks for you nice words.
Wow, those sound excellent for free! I can’t wait to pass this on to my students!
Yes, do that.
free vst's are a great asset; - we see later the same stuff being SOLD for HUNDREDS OF BUCKS ...perhaps because some unemployed art student fucked with the graphic design (maybe put a badge like 'Nike' in the corner) :p
@Jayyedits as in limited dynamic range...
bro you have SUCH A HUGE LIBRARY for free! bro thank you so much i walked over so many garbage plug ins and you just have them all and they arent trash. gj bro
They are not mine, I just point at them and show the way.
@@HRSCourses still thx
You are welcome
i downloaded both, sonatina and the VSCO2 and honestly sonatina osunds even better!
Recently bought (half price) a whole sound library of orchestral sounds and already I can hear that some of these sound as good if not better, and they are FREEEEEEEE! First thing I'm gonna do when I get back - download. Thanks
Of coarse the clarinet had to play the line from "Peter and the Wolf". What a pleasant surprise. Thanks for sharing with us.
That went automatically 😁
course
It was a surprise and well played.!
Every VST I tried recommended by this channel is golden so far. My god thanks for such good highlights!
Thanks. Spread the word
a lot of these sounds actually sound better than some of the pricey VST's (at least before you do a hell of a lot tweaking and modifying). You can certainly learn the trade using these, before upgrading to the big pricey stuff. Thanks a lot neighbour (I'm from Belgium, and I hear a Dutch accent in your voice, right?)
Yes you are right, Dutch is my native language
Instruments are pretty cool. But rather as an amateur what strikes me a lot is your ability of playing these instruments properly. I've managed myself to get nice library of instruments to work on my projects but I feel the most difficult part is where you have to use the particular instrument in properly. Looking at the way you are using lets say horns, glockenspiel etc all differently make it sounds way better. I guess what I am trying to say is that no instrument will replace the skills :)
Thanks, you are right. Skills are the most important thing in making music. So we all have to practise a lot. 😜
Yet another of your videos saved to my Studio One playlist that's for future download, thanks mate 👍
Most of these instruments sound great and you'd have a hard time trying to distinguish them from the real thing.
We all love free VSTs, especially when they're as good as these.
Thanks for you very positive response. 👍🏻
No probs mate, I watch a lot of your videos and I'm grateful for the reviews of the free VSTs, I wouldn't have found them otherwise. 👍
Good to know. Spread the word.
The Organ and Harp sounds amazing....
Excellent Demo. And the amazing fact that you can play all instruments in their very style. Amazing. Great advice from a professional.
Thank you.
Sonatina Orchestra downloading now, have used VSCO a while and it is great thank you.
Great I hope you like it
I use this a lot for my pop music orchestra and its really good.but some disadvantage is it cant do slide vioilin
Excelentes plugins, exactamente lo que estaba buscando. Muchas Gracias
De nada
Thanks for this demo. Just what I was looking for.
This channel is gold!
Thanks
I really like the String and woodwinds on the first one, and percussions on the second one
Sonatina is pretty rough, but Versilian is pretty good. My daughter plays in advanced selective orchestras so I get to hear orchestral instruments all the time. That one is really good for freeware
Thank's sir
this is what i need right now
My motu symphonic instrument plugins have some compatibility issues and the support from Motu was terribly bad.
except for the glockenspiel and bells I was not into the sonatina much but the chamber looks tood for a light demo option then to change for heavier plugins
These plugins are amazing! I'm downloading them tonight. 🙂
this is amazing and it is for free!! thank you so much for sharing this with us.. i had to use some poorly recorded audio samples from youtube before i found your video.
You are welcome, good to know you like it.
"Solo Violin"
Plays chords
imagine a Quartett;)
Lmao
@@ScoringStageEu never thought of that, good point.
This makes me violently uncomfortable
@@ScoringStageEu (true though)
im going to make some sick adventure music with this. cheers for sharing this!
I really like Overture DSK, pretty good, use it always.
DSK Overture is a good one, but it kind of feels limited in a way, and often it ends up sounding way too quiet or not as bright as I'd like hence why I'm looking into alternatives.
Yes it's nice but I can't get it to load in cubase 10.5
The VSCO full orchestra rompler has a history of crashing Reaper. There have been some Reaper updates since I tried it out about six months ago, so maybe things are better now. It's worth noting that the VSCO instruments are also available separately, and the one-instrument VSTs don't crash Reaper.
Michael Jones sama problem using vsco2
Sonatia sounds amazing dude, thanks for the video!
Wow, I could just sit and watch you play for hours! hehehe. Thanks for the tips here, these VST sound pretty darn good!
😁
now you are my favourite youtuber
Thanks. Spread the word.
@@HRSCourses love from india
Very veeery good VSTs. Thank you very much. From Spain.
De nada
Bundl of thanks for this great great effort and for VSt Plugins. Really appreciated. Subscribed.
Thanks. 👍🏻
The versilian is amazing! well done
amazing plugins, cool playing, perfect quick demonstration, thanks
You are welcome
How to download VSt sir?
That organ on CO2 is pretty amazing sounding
Wow. Great sounds! Was that "Peter and the Wolf"? I'm a rocker, but I still like classical stuff. I'll look into these plugins. Thanks for the upload.
Awesome! Im glad I found this video... these plugins are all I needed!
Good to hear
Thanks very mich for that.
It just changed my music career somehow.!!👍👏👏
I just need a free Koto/Shamisen plugin but there is no good for there. DSK is a bad plugin (simple for me) and sometimes crashes and that is annoying. Well, I will have to buy the koto/shamisen for Kontakt 👌
Wow, I'll have to go back and relisten. I installed and didn't think it was very good but perhaps as you say, some reverb brings life.
Thanks a lot man, you save me!
Thanks very much for shared this!
Great topic! Would love to se one on brass-ensembles
That's going to be difficult because I am not impressed by any of the free brass plugins I found so far.
Helpfull guide!! What about modulation? Do these VSTs have a modulation control or is it just the velocity control of the DAW?
thanks a lot! It really helped me!
It's great that it's free, but this is very good and is worth paying something for.
You are right. It's always a good idea to donate something to people that create these fantastic free plugins.
@Raumiction Nobody is saying 300$, but a donation is fair. Even if it's the price of a coffee.
If some guy in a bar gave you this software, you'd buy him a drink, right?
Right 👍🏻🥂
Thank you for this amazing vst plugins
Thanks a lot!!!
Downloading both now as i watch...heh!heh!!
Thank 🙏💕 for your kindness sharing😘
I must say the thing that keeps most people away from a lot indie and freeware vsts is the visual UI , as a graphic and ui/ux designer i can see how they manage to keep the user friendly approach but most of them are very much amateur looking, if any developer read this, i'm interested to help :)
Good to know, Jack!
Oddly enough, of the sounds we heard from both, I liked the Sonatina the best (VSCO strings etc. sounded artificial), though it would be nice if it had the articulations of the VSCO. But the sounds of the VSCO that were not played on the Sonitna did sound good toward the end ie percussion etc.
These are excellent. Thanks so much!
4:14 welcome Mr.Bean
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gracias
このオーケストラ無料は熱すぎる
早速入れさせていただく！
thx!! from Japan🇯🇵
Thanks...that is exactly what I need😄
daaag meneer.... bedankt!!! tot hoorens
This is amazing. Thanks for sharing.💓
Thanks, spread the word.
For a free vst, these sounds better than some plugins that are for sale out there.
3:56 ahhhh finally a frickin recorder yes
just realized the plugin sounds like something from a slice of life anime
Thanks a lot...
Most welcome!
Sounds amazing man
Thank you 🙏
Great video máster!
Thanks
Thank you for your videos
The sonatina VST sounds better than the Soundfont pack, which is odd. The VSCO2 is useful, but sounds a bit metallic to my ears. Thanks for sharing this; a lot of people cannot afford Kontakt, and the libraries you get for The free Kontakt player are a bit limited.
I did not put any EQ on it, just some reverb. If you tweak a bit more with EQ you can do a lot with these.
I agree with you friend. The Sonatina VST does sound better than the Soundfonts of the same name. Sonatina sounded more natural than the VSCO@ as well to me. I had so many problems with VSOC crashing in every version before this one, that I won't bother with it any more.
@@demofactory I hve the VSCO2 and it runs on osx 10.9 Reason 9.5, which implements VST support now.
That might depend on what Soundfont player you use. I have Sforzando, and I am very happy with the results
I wish the Kontakt versions of these worked in the Kontakt free player.
EDIT: I now have the full version of Kontakt since someone blasted me
for making a similar comment on another video. I bought the full version
end of summer 2020. Maybe at the time I was just spamming or "trying
to make some kind of point". However the Player version does play
unlicensed libraries but only in Demo mode but to be honest if you use
Kontakt a lot it is worth buying especially when it's 50% off so there's
really no excuse not to have the full version.
Great video. thanks
Thank you .I cared enough to hit like and SUB ALL before hearing any of it.
Thanks. That is nice.
Thx for your tirs.
You just have earned another subscriber, cheers.
Thank you VIDA
Thanks man
amazing! thanks bro!
Wow! These are really good for being free! 😯 Thanks! Now I have some decent instruments until I can afford something from the Metropolis Ark series 🙂
Great! Will it works on any software?
Not on all. You have to try.
is it really free? so cool, thank you very much
Yes, of course
I am unable to download either of these VSTs. I click on the link on your site and it brings me to Linkredirect. The text says 'To go to the target page, press "continue" ' however, the "Continue" button doesn't work. I checked to see what was wrong in the element viewer and the button was set to "disabled" by default for some reason. So I changed it to "enabled" and even though my cursor was able to click on it, nothing happened. Are there any alternate download links?
Sonatina no longer available it appears.
I just checked and it is still there. Changed the link system though.
@@HRSCourses Works like a charm now :D Thanks!
Glad it works again. Still searching for the best system bur sometimes we make the wrong choise. Have fun 👍🏻🤪
Hey plz tell me which genre of music are you playing here.
Which pieces are you playing here.
Plzzz
Megabits of thank's
The VSCO2 Orchestra Plugin does not work well with Sonar (now Cakewalk by Bandlab). The plugin plays fine when orginally added, but crashes the program whenever a saved file containing a voice from the plugin is opened.
That is a pity but good to know.
Hmm not so sure what you mean by free. Pricing seems to start at 99 USD for VSCO2. I stand corrected, I did not realize you were looking at the Community Edition, My apologies...
You save me from difficulties..... Thx anyway
Glad to be of help.
hey! what do you mean by copying them and paste them in the vst folder?i use fl studio,it would be so so helpful if you answer!!
Très bien... merci pour la démo
Merci
Uau esse vst é simplesmente incrível
Really perfect
Professional Orchestral libraries are above 100 GB. How do these sound good while having a small size?
They do sound great. And we only added some reverb to it, that's all. If you really work with this and create separate tracks for different instruments and EQ them, you really have a fantastic orchestra.
They have less articulations, round robin variants, velocity layers...
There is a lot less going on with these samples, less layers, articulations, etc. As you start using stuff like this more, you can tell the difference more easily between the "pro" libraries and the free ones. With that said, I think these can be just fine for pop applications, or in music where you aren't necessarily going for a realistic sound.
Some 25 Years back, you could find some well sounding soundfonts, that were sized 1mb. It's not only a matter of how big is the size of the samples, the talent of the designer is crucial.
any mandolin free vst pls
Where is the brass and trumpet session ....We can use this in logic prox
How to install these? Is there any tutorial?
VSCO2 just stopped working for me recently. Works fine, but when I reload a project with it, Reaper crashes, every time. Had to delete the dll to get my project back. I'm gonna give Sonatina a try and see if that works for me. Honestly, the sounds are pretty much the same between the two.
perfect..
Beautiful my friend
What are the gold standard plugins for oriental folk/traditional instruments?
Thank you for this video!
Thank you for the great review! VSCO2 is quite a huge plugin though, especially if one needs to load multiple instances of it in a project. However, it looks like 'bigcat instruments' has split into various instrument sections, which you can download separately. If this works (haven't tested it yet), it would mean you don't need to load the full plugin every time, saving tons of memory and CPU usage while working.
That’s a good suggestion Jan. Thanks.
I personaly think spitfire audio labs os much better for orchestra, but sonatina choir is the best free plugin for choir.
Amazing sound!
