Stories: thematic multis with keyboard mapping and controller assignments




One of the most innovative features of Symphobia 3 Lumina is the Stories section. Stories are thematic multis that combine different ensembles and instruments into one keyboard with clever mapping and controller assignments. They are designed to inspire you and enhance your live performance with Symphobia 3 Lumina.


There are 75 Stories in total, divided into 15 categories: Adventure & Fantasy; Animation & Comedy; Dark & Mysterious; Drama & Suspense; Epic & Heroic; Fairy Tales & Magic; Horror & Thriller; Light & Romantic; Medieval & Celtic; Mystery & Crime; Sci-Fi & Futuristic; Trailer & Promo; War & Battle; Western & Americana; and World & Ethnic. Each category has five Stories that cover different aspects of the genre.


For example, in the Adventure & Fantasy category, you have the following Stories:


StoryDescription


Adventure AwaitsA bright and uplifting Story that features full orchestra with brass accents and choir.


Fantastic VoyageA whimsical and playful Story that features woodwinds with harp and celesta.


Hero's JourneyA majestic and heroic Story that features full orchestra with brass fanfares and choir.


Mystical RealmA mysterious and enchanting Story that features strings with harp glissandos and choir.


Quest for GloryA powerful and epic Story that features full orchestra with percussion and choir.


Each Story has a different keyboard mapping that allows you to play different elements with different keys. For example, in the Adventure Awaits Story:


  • The keys C0 to B0 trigger ensemble hits that can be used for accents or transitions.



  • The keys C1 to B1 trigger ensemble sustains that can be used for chords or melodies.



  • The keys C2 to B2 trigger ensemble staccatos that can be used for rhythmic patterns or motifs.



  • The keys C3 to B3 trigger ensemble legatos that can be used for smooth melodies or counterpoints.



  • The keys C4 to B4 trigger ensemble tremolos that can be used for tension or suspense.



  • The keys C5 to B5 trigger ensemble trills that can be used for ornamentation or expression.



  • The keys C6 to B6 trigger ensemble glissandos that can be used for transitions or effects.



Each Story also has a different controller assignment that allows you to control different parameters with different knobs or sliders. For example, in the Adventure Awaits Story:


  • The CC1 (mod wheel) controls the dynamics of the ensemble sustains, legatos, tremolos, and trills.



  • The CC2 controls the expression of the ensemble sustains, legatos, tremolos, and trills.



  • The CC11 controls the volume of the ensemble hits, staccatos, and glissandos.



  • The CC12 controls the release of the ensemble hits, staccatos, and glissandos.



  • The CC13 controls the reverb of the entire Story.



  • The CC14 controls the delay of the entire Story.



You can use these Stories in various ways in your musical projects. For example, you can use them as starting points or templates for your compositions. You can also use them as inspiration or reference for your own orchestral arrangements. You can also use them as live performance tools that allow you to play different orchestral elements with one keyboard and control them with your controllers.


Dystopia: sound design based on the library's samples




Another feature of Symphobia 3 Lumina that sets it apart from other orchestral libraries is the Dystopia section. Dystopia is a sound design section that provides dark and twisted sounds based on the library's samples. It complements Symphobia 3 Lumina by adding contrast and diversity to your orchestral sound.


Dystopia has four categories: Atmospheres, Effects, Pads, and Percussion. Each category has 25 presets that cover different moods and styles. You can also create your own presets by tweaking and layering up to four sounds with different parameters.


Some examples of Dystopia presets are:

You can tweak and layer Dystopia sounds with different parameters, such as volume, pan, pitch, filter, envelope, LFO, effects, and more. You can also use key switches to mute or solo each layer, or use velocity to crossfade between layers. You can also use the mod wheel to control the filter cutoff of each layer.
