Kepler Orchestra Review – an Explorative Aural Solar System by Spitfire Audio
The Quest to Understand the Universe
For centuries, astronomers have relied on mathematics as a valuable tool in their quest to understand the universe. One such pioneer was the brilliant German mathematician and physicist Johannes Kepler, whose groundbreaking ideas helped to shape our understanding of planetary motion.
In his 1619 publication Harmonices Mundi, Kepler proposed the concept of musical harmonies based on the ratios between the maximum and minimum angular speeds of planets – what he called the ‘music of the spheres’ – laying the foundation for later scientists such as Sir Isaac Newton. Thus, by applying his keen mathematical mind to the heavens, Kepler made an invaluable contribution to astronomy that continues to influence stargazing today.
Kepler Orchestra Review by Spitfire Audio
Spitfire Audio has released a cinematic library which is under review today. Kepler Orchestra essentially produces orchestral and rhythmic textures.
Spitfire Audio Kepler Orchestra is named after the German astronomer, mathematician, and astrologer Johannes Kepler, who in the 17th century devoted himself to the movements of the planets around the sun. At the time I learned about Kepler Orchestra and it was available for pre-order I was thinking this is another excellent EVO library by Spitfire Audio.
Kepler Orchestra is a collection of premium sound libraries from Spitfire Audio, renowned for its innovative and high-quality instrument libraries.
Named after the famous Johannes Kepler, an astronomer who discovered some of the basic laws that govern planetary motion, this pack is truly one-of-a-kind. With a focus on motion and dynamic range, this library contains over 50 different articulations for strings, woodwinds, and brass instruments.
It also includes a Systems Grid for user customization and 259 unique snapshots to help you find the perfect sound for your music.
The first visuals also pointed me driven from wishful thinking in that direction. Different from Spitfire Audio LCO Textures this new library Kepler Orchestra is not about floating pads. Kepler is all about symphonic easy to massive rhythmic movements. Kepler Orchestra is stimulated by the famous American composers of the late 20th century: Terry Riley, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and John Adams.
Kepler Orchestra is very well produced, intuitive to use, and provides a large variety of sonic possibilities. You can create intense orchestral textures for cinematic music by layering multiple instruments and blending the sound with an additional effects section or you can go into the more experimental territory by using the rhythmic elements of the library.
I really enjoyed exploring Kepler Orchestra and I definitely recommend it to anyone interested in cinematic music.
Kepler Orchestra – Installation
Installation is done through the Spitfire download (and update) tool. Very easy and straightforward. Due to the required CPU minimum performance always check the latest technical requirements.
Kepler Orchestra – Sound
The Kepler Orchestra is a modern hybrid orchestra library that will become a major tool used in cinematic productions to come. The library features a unique combination of real and virtual instruments, all of which have been recorded in high-quality audio.
The end result is an orchestra that sounds realistic and lifelike, with the ability to generate a wide range of musical textures and timbres. In addition, the Kepler Orchestra is highly customizable, allowing composers to create their own unique soundscapes. With its cutting-edge technology and expansive capabilities, the Kepler Orchestra is poised to revolutionize the way music is composed for film and television.
There is something truly magical about the way that music can bring a story to life, creating emotions and setting the tone for every scene. But in order to create truly great music, you need sound libraries that are both powerful and flexible – libraries like Spitfire Audio’s Kepler Orchestra.
This groundbreaking library makes it incredibly easy to create movement, speed, and atmosphere by seamlessly intertwining orchestral rhythms – from small-scale interlocking melodies all the way up to massive multi-instrument crescendos.
Whether you’re an experienced composer or just starting out, Kepler Orchestra is an essential tool for bringing your musical vision to life.
With this library, you can produce realistic-sounding interlocking polyrhythms. Polyrhythms expect at minimum two rhythms to be performed at the same time. If you wonder about the beginnings, this idea goes way back. Polyrhythms are used for example in the opening of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3.
Kepler Orchestra Articulations
There are many different types of articulations, each with its own unique characteristics and effects. Articulations are a powerful tool in the composer’s arsenal, capable of adding realism, emotion, and character to their music. There are four main categories of articulations: Dopplers, Shards, Momentum, and Warped.
For instance, Dopplers describes the effect of sound shooting past you and then fading away. On the other hand, shards are defined as sounds that rise boldly with a swelling driving force before ending abruptly.
Meanwhile, momentum simply refers to the acceleration and pulsing of sounds. Additionally, warped articulations add a complex texture and atmosphere to composition, while granular synthesis is used in some samples to create otherworldly textures and effects.
Whether you’re working with Dopplers, shards, or any other type of articulation, each one brings something unique and essential to your music. So the next time you’re working on building a new piece, remember to dig into those articulations and explore their full potential!
Each category has its own unique sound and purpose. Dopplers are perfect for creating the illusion of movement, while Shards add a sharp, staccato quality to a note. Momentum articulations add weight and power to a note, while Warped articulations twist and distort the sound of a note.
By using the Systems grid, composers can create complex rhythm sequences that are tempo-locked to their DAW. This allows them to create highly realistic and expressive pieces of music.
Whether you’re looking to add life and movement to your compositions or create expansive soundscapes with just one instrument, Kepler Orchestra has everything you need to take your creativity to new heights.
Kepler Orchestra Instruments
As any musician knows, having the right tools is essential for creating great music. That’s why Spitfire Audio’s Symphonic Orchestra is such an invaluable resource for composers and producers.

Not only is Kepler packed full of incredible sounds and instruments, but it also comes with Kontakt Player compatibility, making it perfect for users who do not own the full version of Kontakt or who have not yet upgraded to Kontakt 6.
Sound Natural, and Yet so Powerful
I have never heard an orchestra sound so natural, and yet so powerful. The Kepler Orchestra is a true innovation in hybrid orchestra sample libraries.
The combination of live recordings and advanced programming has produced a library that is second to none. The level of detail and realism is impeccable, and the result is an orchestra that instantly complements your compositions.
The arpeggiated lines and intricate rhythms are unlike anything I have heard before, and the result is an inspiring and moving experience. I cannot recommend this library highly enough; it is simply the best of its kind. Thank you for providing such an amazing tool for musical inspiration.
Spitfire’s Evo Grid Technology
When it comes to creating complex musical textures quickly and easily, nothing beats the power of Kepler Orchestra’s Systems Grid. Featuring the revolutionary Evo Grid technology that made Spitfire Audio’s iconic virtual instrument, the Evo Grid brings unprecedented flexibility and ease of use to a wide range of musical textures.
Unlike traditional sample libraries, the Systems Grid houses hundreds of repeated notes which are synced perfectly to your host tempo, allowing you to create intricate rhythmic patterns with minimal effort. And thanks to its solitaire-style pegboard layout, it is incredibly easy to map and customize different zones on your keyboard so that you can create complex melodies and harmonies in any key and at any time.
Whether you are a beginner or an expert musician, there is no better way to explore new creative possibilities than with Kepler Orchestra’s powerful and innovative Systems Grid.
Operate EVO
If you’re looking for a simple and intuitive way to create rhythmic patterns that are perfect for a wide range of musical styles, then the step sequencer is just what you need. Designed to be incredibly easy to use, this innovative tool can be loaded with any musical ensemble, from a single melodic instrument to an entire orchestral arrangement.
Simply hold down a key, unleash your creativity, and watch as the sequencer effortlessly creates pulsing patterns that build in sync with the beat. Whether you’re looking for intricate rhythms to use in your next killer EDM track or simply want to add some extra flair to your solo piano piece, the step sequencer makes it simple and fun to explore new rhythmic possibilities. Try it out today and see how simple it is to create dynamic grooves using this powerful and versatile tool!
When superimposing rhythmic subdivisions, I have found that simple combinations work best: a layer of 16th notes layered on top of eighth notes, or low woodwind instruments playing fast triplets bubbling under high woodwinds playing eighth notes.
From a groove perspective, layering quintuplets or septuplets over straight eights patterns just sounds out of time, but if you’re not focused on creating a dance-floor vibe, you can achieve some interesting and nuanced orchestral effects by slowing the tempo and sequencing quintuplets over a four-based pattern. I have a feeling that Johannes Kepler would have been a big fan of this approach.
Machine Performance Intelligence
KEPLER ORCHESTRA read its user’s melody and performance it in surprising ways through key articulations:
- DOPPLERS — recreates the Doppler effect by molding short notes down by a semitone, so that they sound like they are rushing past the audience
- SHARDS — based on particle swarms, suggestive of shards of light or the light that can be seen flashing out of an accretion disk, resulting in swells of sound that increase dramatically in dynamic until the end
- MOMENTUM — based on lightwave theory, notes increase and decrease both in speed and dynamic, from pulsing to accelerating
- WARPED — contains 30 different sounds to attach an additional layer of vast expanse and mood to polyrhythmic compositions. Each sound is created utilizing the original sample content from the library. Designed to add unprecedented depth, texture, and atmosphere to any composition.
Kepler Orchestra was recorded at AIR Studio One. All setups were recorded as a chamber-sized orchestra. As common these days, Kepler Orchestra offers the choice of various microphone positions, which can also be mixed. You can choose between Close, Ambient, Mid, and Wide.
The orchestral Kepler Kontakt library manages hard work and the results are pristine interlocking orchestral rhythms. Take your time, you may not be happy with the first results. Also when you play it like an EVO it does not work that way. Spending more time than usual with a Spitfire Library will be rewarded with a newly created pattern of sounds.
Kepler Orchestra – User interface & Usability
Kepler another EVO?
KEPLER ORCHESTRA is related to Spitfire Audio’s Evo Grid. It is not an EVO as you are used to – not even an EVO at all. The new invention is called Systems Grid which you can think of as an articulation mapping mechanism. Spitfire describes it as: Instead of using the pegs to create different textures, they are split by time divisions (duplet, triplet, quintuple, and septuplet time), tempo-locked to your DAW, allowing you to quickly create sophisticated combinations of different rhythms.
While I have only a few minor criticisms of the Systems Grid, I must say that I am overall quite impressed by this cutting-edge virtual instrument. With its wide range of sounds and impressive array of features, it is certainly a powerful tool for composing music for a variety of media. Whether you are working in film, video games, or even TV, this library can help bring your musical compositions to life like never before.
One thing that could potentially be improved is the interface. While it is clear and easy to navigate, the small size of some of the controls may make it difficult to work with on laptops or other smaller screens. However, this is a relatively minor issue that can easily be addressed if needed.
The Systems Grid
Overall, I would highly recommend the Systems Grid to anyone looking to take their music to the next level. With its incredible sound quality and versatility, this library truly has something for everyone. So if you’re ready to elevate your compositions to new heights, then don’t hesitate – give the Systems Grid a try today!
As this is not an EVO from Spitfire you use with Kepler Orchestra something that looks similar to an EVO Grid. What is presented is called a Systems Grid to allow you to chart various rhythmic contrasts. Spitfire makes the following differentiation:
- Systems Grid = Rhythmic/Temporal variations of timbrally similar techniques
- Evo Grid = Timbral variations on rhythmic/temporally similar techniques
Systems Grid
Systems Grid itself is not a phrase library and continuously builds them at the time. Nor is it a series of evolutions. Rather it is a set of detailed and sophisticated articulations and raw materials. It was designed to provide users with the power to create their own complex, nuanced phrases with ease and control.
Kepler Orchestra’s Innovative Characteristics
DOPPLERS
The Doppler Effect is the change in frequency of a wave as the source and observer move toward or away from each other. What you hear when an ambulance passes by or the redshift in light observed by astronomers. All in the spirit of Kepler and some weed. Spitfire has recreated this by recording notes that grow, bend down by a semitone and die away, so they sound like they are shooting past you
SHARDS
Spitfire’s shards grid is inspired by light particles, reminiscent of shards of light, or the light spun out at the creation of an accretion disk. The result is swells of sound that rise dramatically in dynamic until they stop dead.
MOMENTUM
Spitfire’s momentum grid is inspired by light wave interference theory — notes that increase and decrease in both speed and dynamic, from pulsing to stimulating.
WARPED
The Warped section contains thirty contrasting sounds to add an extra layer of cosmic depth and atmosphere to your polyrhythmic compositions. Each of these sounds was produced using the organic sample content from the library, designed to add unique depth, texture, and atmosphere to any composition. Some samples were made using granular synthesis, while others were pumped through outboard gear, Empirical Labs Distressor, reverbs, saturators, and guitar FX pedals to create something completely new and original. Presented in Spitfire’s Mercury synth, all of the controls are assignable to your control surface, giving you the immediate ability to make your sounds your own.
Performance Impact
There have been many reporting CPU performance issues. On my late 2014 iMac, I did not have any performance issues resulting in pops and clicks, this could be as the Cubase audio buffer was set higher already. It seems to be an issue if your audio buffer is low and some DAW set it very low. What seems to work if you still run into performance-related issues with using VIENNA ENSEMBLE PRO. Still on my MAC no issues at all.
The synergistic Systems Grid articulation tool is based on Spitfire Evo Grid technology to empower composers to quickly produce elaborate polyrhythms adapted from the vibe of the late-20th Century writers like John Adams, Steve Reich, and Terry Riley.
Conclusion
Kepler Orchestra is a library that contains something for everyone and is perfect for elevating compositions to new heights. The library contains articulations and raw materials that allow users to create their own complex phrases with ease.
Additionally, the library was designed to provide users with the power to create nuanced phrases with rhythmic and temporal variations.

It is designed, coded, and explicitly adapted by and for musicians so that they can be liberated from tedious click-and-drag tasks. By harnessing the power of APL to its full potential, creatives can produce more freely and create groundbreaking music faster than ever before. Ultimately, this powerful new technology looks to revolutionize the way music is made in the 21st century!
True Panning and Dolby Atmos
When it comes to mixing, True Panning is an innovative technique that Crescent has pioneered. It allows users to place a strings ensemble around the listener’s head in three-dimensional space, creating an immersive experience unlike any other. It utilizes Ambisonics technology to achieve this, allowing for a much more realistic representation of the performance than traditional stereo hard panning.
Dolby Atmos is another technique that can take advantage of the spatial capabilities presented by Crescent products. Instead of simulating spaces and then placing a stereo signal in them like most other methods, Atmos uses a fully spatialized recording and unfolds it around the listener’s head – providing an incredibly accurate representation of what you would hear if you were present during the recording session. Furthermore, this process can be done in a matter of seconds and requires minimal effort on the part of the mixer.
Both techniques provide users with unprecedented levels of immersion and accuracy when compared to traditional processes, thus making them invaluable tools for achieving superior recordings and mixes.
The ease-of-use and impressive sound quality provided by both True Panning and Dolby Atmos make them essential components for any musician or engineer looking to take their productions to the next level.
4 Stereo Mixes Included
- A Mix offers great balance from the Musician’s perspective. You’ll feel embraced by the sound of the instrument plus you will hear the sound of the helmet complementing it with a reverb-like sensation.
- A BODY Mix offers the sound the shell emanates. The sound contains much more body and colour in the lower end.
- A HELMET Mix offers the sound that comes from the military helmet. Filling your music field with a thin reverb-like sound.
- A BINAURAL Mix offers the best Immersive type of sound if you are wearing headphones.
Stereo mixing is essential in music production, allowing the engineer to create a well-balanced mix that suits their artistic vision. By combining audio signals from multiple sources into a single stereo output, the engineer can create a sonic landscape that is truly unique and engaging.
At its core, stereo mixing involves combining two separate audio tracks – each of which has both left and right channels – into one complete mix. This technique also allows engineers to create various effects such as panning, spatial placement, reverb, compression and more. Commonly used to refer to the practice of blending different instruments or elements together to form a single soundscape, stereo mixing creates depth and texture in recordings.
One type of stereo mix is known as the ‘Mix’, which seeks to provide a balanced sound from the musician’s perspective. It combines all of the audio sources together by blending them into one cohesive mix. This type of mix ensures that each instrument is given equal weight within the recording and creates an immersive listening experience for the listener.
A ‘Body Mix’ on the other hand focuses more on creating a fuller overall sound through accentuating bass frequencies whilst still providing clarity for each instrument. Meanwhile, ‘Helmet Mixes’ offer a more reverb-like sound as they use military helmet microphones to capture sounds with thin reverberations that fill out the overall sound field.
Lastly, binaural mixes are explicitly designed for headphone listening experiences, offering an even more immersive sonic experience because they take advantage of directional cues inherent in natural 3D sound fields.
In conclusion, stereo mixing offers multiple options for creating engaging sonic landscapes that use various techniques such as panning, reverb and compression. Whether you’re looking for a balanced ‘Mix’ or something with greater body such as a ‘Body Mix’ or Helmet Mix’ – there’s sure to be something that meets your needs!
Experience the Future of Sound: Immersive Perspectives Revolutionizes Music Listening with Ambisonic Technology
Immersive Perspectives offers a different listening experience than traditional stereo or surround sound mixes. These mixes are created using Ambisonic technology, replicating a real-life environment’s sound to create a fully immersive 3D soundscape. Ambisonic technology captures sounds from all angles by using multiple channels and microphones placed strategically around the room, giving listeners an unprecedented level of realism and immersion.
In these real-world scenarios, sounds come from all directions—above and below our heads, from behind us and ahead of us, and from above and beyond us—creating a much more realistic listening experience than what could be achieved with a traditional stereo or surround sound mixes. With Immersive Perspectives, listeners can feel as if they’re actually in the recording space with the artist as they play their instrument.
Immersive Perspectives also offers true panning capabilities—listeners can move through virtual space as if they’re physically inside it. This enables engineers to place instruments at varying distances throughout the mix to create dynamic depth and movement in the soundscape. The result is a mix that provides more accurate localization of sounds within the mix and allows for greater control over how those sounds interact in various playback systems.
Beyond providing an increased level of realism, Immersive Perspectives also adds storytelling elements to music production. Musicians can place instruments at different points in the mix to influence how their story is told through sound—where each instrument should be placed for maximum impact on both the listener’s ears and emotions. By using this approach, artists can transport their listeners into another world through their music without having them leave the comfort of their own homes.
Conclusion
As you can see, Peace is genuinely an innovative bowed instrument unlike anything else currently available on the market today that has been crafted with meticulous care and precision by master luthier Stamatis Stringaris in collaboration with Audio Brewers & DustBowl Cinematic.
Combining Next Gen Adaptive Polyphonic Legato technology with Voice Movement Awareness ensures that every note sounds crisp and accurate to its intended source – no matter how fast or slow it is played – allowing musicians more creative freedom than ever! Who knew something as simple as a decommissioned missile shell could revolutionize music composition? We did! And now you do too!

History of Binaural Audio and its Advantages
Binaural audio is a technique that uses two microphones placed in the ears of a dummy head to capture recordings that mimic how humans hear sounds in real life. It has been used since the late 19th century, but has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its ability to recreate lifelike soundscapes with amazing realism.
This makes it particularly beneficial for producers and composers who want to create more dynamic and realistic-sounding tracks. Additionally, binaural audio allows for bigger, more spacious textures than ever before.

Through its complexity of layered noises and effects, cinematic binaural audio forms a landscape that provides an emotional response, allowing each individual to enjoy their unique version of the movie that’s tailored to their taste. With its ability to enhance the viewing experience, it’s not hard to see why cinematic binaural textures have become such fan favorites!
