Performance & Your Workflow
THE CAPSULE

Capsule keeps all our different colors and articulations of the Berlin Series with care.
It integrates perfectly into NI‘s Kontakt - the most popular sampler to date - and uses
all its strengths and possibilities at the highest possible efficiency. Capsule will adapt to
your personal workflow. Choose between single or multi- articulation patches. As an
industry-first you are able to easily apply True Legato intervals of your choice to any
long notes. You can morph from any articulation to any other within a multi-articulation
patch. With polyphonic keyswitches you are able to stack different articulations on top
of each other and all that without the need to create complicated maps and rules - it´s
simply playable! Our newly designed intelligent mixer will balance out all channels
when you change the level of a single mic position. This way you can morph with ease
through the different timbres of our mic positions and Capsule holds the volume in the
meantime.
But Capsule is much more. It is the most flexible and intuitive sample organisation con-
cept ever invented and is created by our scripting pro Stan Berzon.
Amazing times...
SPECIFICATIONS

Multi- and Single-Articulation Patches

Apply Adaptive Legato to any long note articulation

Polyphonic Keyswitch Concept

Stack and morph up to 4 articulations at the same time

Auto Gain: Our intelligent mixer holds the volume - whatever you do

Define your own Round Robin rules

Activate or deactivate specific dynamic layers

Unload unused Round Robins out of your RAM

 SINGLE
Articulations

Capsule adjusts to your way of working, regardless whether you want a dedicated
track for each articulation or if you wish to have as many articulations as possible on
a single MIDI track. It´s your choice with our single and multi patch design. Almost
all features of our single patches are available, too, via the wrench button in our multi
patches. Here are the features of Capsule; our new engine within Kontakt.

Intelligent Mixer with Auto-Gain (Volume Compensation), Audio Out Routing and
Grouping Options

Deactivate specific Dynamic Layers

Define your own Round Robin rules

Add pre-defined dynamic filters for smoother dynamic blending

Purge specific Round Robins out of RAM

Controller Table: Add your own interpeter envelope curves to any MIDI CC

Switch between XFade dynamics or Velocity control

 M U LT I
Articulations

Apply True Legato to any long articulation!

Transform a trills or a tremolo articulation into a True Legato patch. Build
your own combinations with up to 3 assignable legato speed slots
per articulation, which will be triggered and will adapt to your
playing speed. (e.g. at slow playing: Slurred Legato, on very fast
performances fast runs).

Polyphonic Keyswitch Concept

Play up to 4 articulations simultaneously and choose in realtime
between xfading, switching, 2D morphing via MIDI CC or velocity.
You don´t have to setup complicated sample maps and rules in
advance. Just perform.

2D Morphing of articulations for sfx and sound design applications

The Room
TELDEX SCORING STAGE

Our carefully recorded collections of the Berlin Series were captured in one
of the best acoustic spaces for orchestral productions. When it comes down
to hundreds of notes played in parallel, the acoustic properties of the samp-
led material turn out to be one of the most crucial elements in terms of realistic
and convincing mock-ups, where all individual instruments and sections need to
merge together to create a full orchestral soundscape. The acoustic characteristics of the
Teldex Scoring Stage are simply paramount: Instruments and sections blend together in a
way never heard before; all these captured details will be there, even if the full orchestra
is playing. Most orchestral libraries tend to be too wet to preserve details and flexibility,
some are too dry to recreate a whole orchestral body. With the Berlin Series we present
you the perfect balance between these two worlds.

Teldex looks back on a long tradition of many well-known and Grammy® Award-winning
productions. Recordings were done for famous Orchestras like the Berlin Philharmonic Or-
chestra, London Symphony Orchestra or the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. A lot of film
scores composed by Danny Elfman, Howard Shore, Alan Silvestri or David Newman were
recorded in this unique sounding space.
"Berlin Woodwinds was more than just a recor-
ding;
it was done in one of the best places you can
get..."

"When it comes to orchestral sampling, you´ve to care about three

things:
The concept, the musicians, and the acoustic space."
Hendrik Schwarzer,
NEW

BALANCED
With our newest version of the Berlin Series, all
instruments, dynamic ranges, articulations and mi-
crophone positions are balanced to keep the na-
tural dynamics of a real orchestra within our Berlin
Series.

Articulations: All articulations fit each other perfect-

ly. Switching between articulations within the multi
patches feels natural and fluid.

Instruments: The dynamic ranges of each instrument

in our Berlin Series are modeled after reference re-
cordings we did with a real orchestra. Also the volu-
me relations between all instruments are preserved.

Release Samples: All release samples were re-edi-

ted to preserve the natural room acoustics within the
samples.

Mic Positions: The mic positions are balanced to

each other. This way you´re able to use our new
auto gain feature to blend through the microphone
mix without loosing the instrument volume relations.
 THE MOST FLUID

LEGATO

Over years of development Orchestral Tools finally built the most fluid le-
gato concept in the industry which adjusts to any tempo and rhythmic situa-
tion. Our Adaptive Legato Engine detects your playing speed in real time and
perfectly adjusts all variables within the engine to your performance. Agile lines
as well as slow soaring melodies are now possible within a single patch. And with
different True Legato speeds as captured in Berlin Strings the Adaptive Legato
Engine reveals its true potential.
