NATIVE
INSTRUMENTS and SONIC IMPLANTS team up to
provide powerful music package to Sibelius
Software, Ltd.
OCTOBER 13,
2003- NATIVE INSTRUMENTS and SONIC NETWORK,
Inc., the developer of the popular SONIC
IMPLANTS sound libraries, announce a new
cooperation to provide a sample-playback
sound library to Sibelius, the world’s
leading music notation software. The package
bundles the popular KONTAKT PLAYER SILVER
sample player and SONIC IMPLANTS sound
libraries together to provide Sibelius 3
with a powerful sound-generation engine and
high-quality set of instrument samples.
KONTAKT PLAYER SILVER and SONIC IMPLANTS
libraries allows Sibelius 3 users to play
back music using high-quality instrument
samples, burn compositions on CD, and create
audio files for the Internet. The SILVER
EDITION contains 20 instrumental sounds
covering a useful selection of brass,
woodwind, strings, percussion, voices, and
other symphonic categories. Many of the
instruments were taken from the well-known
SONIC IMPLANTS SYMPHONIC STRING COLLECTION.
Additionally, Sibelius 3 users are able to
purchase KONTAKT PLAYER GOLD, which offers
64 instrumental and 100 percussion sounds
that cover an even wider range of orchestral
and band instruments.
Jennifer Hruska, President of SONIC NETWORK,
Inc., says, “NATIVE INSTRUMENTS is breaking
new ground in the industry with their
technology. We were excited to be asked to
provide our high-end sound libraries for the
Sibelius 3 project, and even more excited
for Sibelius 3 users, who now have access to
such high-quality music making tools at
their fingertips.”
Daniel Haver, CEO of NATIVE INSTRUMENTS,
adds, "We found the outstanding quality of
the SONIC IMPLANTS library to be a perfect
match for the state-of-the-art sound engine
of KONTAKT PLAYER. We believe Sibelius 3
combined with KONTAKT PLAYER and SONIC
IMPLANTS sound libraries will be of enormous
benefit to all musicians.”
