A wired psychopath lashes out against a corrupt system to uncover the truth and retrieve his kidnapped brother under the guidance of a secretive hacker friend. Obviously, it’s not suitable for gentle orchestrations, but for powerhouse productions we don’t think there’s anything to match it at the moment.RUINER is a brutal action shooter set in the year 2091 in the cyber metropolis Rengkok. We’ve concentrated mainly on the instruments, as opposed to the technical GUI features in this review because, frankly, that’s the Metropolis Ark 1’s strongest selling point. Two guitars punch out a collection of powerchords and come with a few special microphone positions as well, plus – of course – effects. Last but definitely not least, there’s the band – a collection of electric guitars, an electric bass and a GM drum kit. Latin syllables change note after note, both for single notes and chords – it works well.Īfter all, why spend hours setting up latin phrases when this method sounds just as authentic? A decent enough grand piano is also to be found in the percussion department and, although pretty loud when needed, surprisingly, we found that we could play it fairly quietly! It’s a mixed choir with voices at full volume. Lower down, the three bass trombones are no slouches either, producing sounds ranging from low, raspy roars to searing upper-register notes.Ĭolossal Chorus Like the strings, the choir is divided into high and low patches. Heading the brass, four magisterial unison trumpets produce a splendid sound – think Fanfare For The Common Man and you’ll get the picture. However, there’s the very rich and fruity-sounding Holbein Bassoons (four of them) and the Barnock Contrabassoons (four of those, too), which produce the most wonderful growling noise when played in their lower extremities. No need for sissy-sounding flutes and clarinets here. Wind Power And so to the woodwinds, well the lower variety.

All the important articulations are present, but remember this is an epic library, the pizzicatos are snap-type and capable of cutting through any wall of sound that the brass may be producing. The lower strings, including 12 basses and six celli are only available in octaves and produce a truly massive sound – great for dangerous-sounding riffs. Turn on true legato and the transitions are adjusted according to playing speed. Legato articulations are handled automatically, in the background. The high set can be played in unison or in octaves for a more powerful sound.
