When Orchestra Tools started the product Metropolis Ark line with Ark 1 (great full sound), followed by Ark 2 (dark, sonorous sounding low magnetic epicness) it was a big blow to the composer community, and I assume started on of a most successful product line for Orchestra Tools. Very nice in combination, but if it were between 1 vs the other than anyone wrestling between the two should have a look at the instrument list linked below.METROPOLIS ARK 3 Review – The Beating Orchestra by Orchestral Tools They're two very different libraries, and there are certain things you won't pull of with Ark 4 that you can with ark 1 and vice versa. So it really isn't as simple as one being middle ground. Other than that you get a brass ensemble patch:

#ORCHESTRAL TOOLS METROPOLIS ARK 1 PATCH#

The only brass in Ark 4remotely resembling a discrete section is the trumpet patch (which are also pre-orchestrated): Whereas you get two horn sections in Ark 1:Īnd of course this is only one example. So for example you don't get a horn section in Ark 4, you get a pre-orchestrated patch: So I personally wouldn't consider it a middle ground so much as a smaller sized library of pre-orchestrated combinations and some ensemble patches. One thing to realize about Ark 4 is the instrumentation is totally different, and much of it is pre-orchestrated patches. The choir in Ark 4 blends well with Ark 1 choir and together they work really well.

With extra ensemble patches and combi-instrument patches and it's important to mention the power legato patches (the legato patches in Ark 1 are too slow and too heavy for fast playing, the power legato patches in Ark 4 can handle this better). I would view Ark 4 as a completion kit tot the Ark series, to be blended with the other Ark series.

I'm not a fan of the trumpet patches though. The 9 horn and 3 bass trombones patches are among my favorites. They also added stuff like metal guitars and drums, but these aren't the best (very clunky actually) compared to other genre-specific vi-devs. For woodwinds there's only bassoons and contra-bassoons (eached played by 4, which you don't usually find in a normal orchestra).

They have a very distinct character that sometimes doesn't work. The choir legato patches are very dramatic, but maybe still a bit too romantic epic (refering to the time period). Also I find the choir staccato patches lack rhythmic consistency. The percussion is maybe a bit one-sided (epic hits tend to get boring after a while).

The brass and strings section are superb for their purpose. Ark 1 has an all-round grandeur and baked in epicness you would expect from it.
