Audio Imperia has released version 1.2 of its Jaeger Essential Modern Orchestra, bringing both new additional content as well as new features to the Kontakt instrument library featuring vocals by Merethe Soltvedt.
The update includes over 10 GB additional samples, a new percussion engine, performance improvements and more.
Deriving from the German word Jäger, meaning Hunter, JAEGER is the first release in a series of orchestral instruments that will usher you into a new era of modern cinematic music. As composers, we constantly find ourselves chasing that next creative spark, but our short deadlines don’t always allow us the time to let inspiration hit. You have to simply apply fingers to keys and let the music begin.
Though the library is primarily focused on punchy, epic music, it is not just designed to be loud; it is also cinematic.
