Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Cinesamples‘ CineOrch sample library for KONTAKT 4! This manual has two main sections. First, we’ve provided a simple explanation of how the mappings are laid out in the different CineOrch patches. Lastly, this manual contains a reference guide for all the interface controls.

Mapping
Themappings in CineOrch’s patches are easy to use because they not only are logically mapped across the keys as well as compatible with an 88 88-key MIDI keyboard, but their keys as displayed on Kontakt’s Kontakt GUI are also color-coded to distinguish the different key ranges. The following is an explanation of the coded mappings for each patch.

The “Low Chords” Patch
In this patch, thekeyboard is essentially divided in half. The bottom half of the notes are all major triads, while the upper half are all minor triads These chords are not only available in every key, but also triads. different inversions as well. For example, t lowest key ranges of the major and minor sections are root the position chords, while the higher key ranges are in the first inversion, having the 3rd in thebass. In er , classical music theory, these chords are known as “6/4 chords”.

The “Tutti Chords” Patch
In this patch, the keyboard is divided into three main sections of chords. The lowest section on the keyboard contains all the major chords, while the middle section has the minor chords. The highest ntains section has augmented triads. In each of these sections, the lowest inversions are mappedto the lowest portion of the keyrange, while each higher octave within the section is mapped with higher inversions of the chords--making it very intuitive to use. making There are also two keyswitches in this mapping A-0 and A#-0, which allow you to switch between the mapping, , default sustain/staccato notes and the marcato articulation respectively.

The “Tutti Octaves” Patch
There are twomain keyranges in this patch s mapping. The bottom half of the keyboard contains all the re patch’s marcato articulation samples, while the top half has the sustain/staccato layer. ulation

Interface Controls
The patches in CineOrch feature a very simple but powerful interface. Here is a list of all the controls and powerful their correspondingfunctions in each patch.

The “Low Chords” Patch
ols Monophonic - This button controls whether notes are polyphonic or monophonic. While in monophonic mode, only one note will sound at a time. This control can be automated by right-clicking on the button clicking and assigning it to a MIDI CC #. That way you can dynamically enable and disable this mode within your u sequence or performance.Dynamics on CC -With the dropdown menu set to this option, the dynamics are controlled by a MIDI continuous controller, allowing you to smoothly morph between different dynamic layers. Which CC # , different laye operates the dynamics can be set in the adjacent field. Dynamics on Vel - When the dropdown menu is set to this option, the dynamics are purely controlled by how loudly or softly you press thekeys. You can change the velocity curve using the dropdown menu to the right. When this control is set to “Curve: Normal”, the keys’ velocity function normally, with a linear response. When set to “Curve: Quiet , the dynamics are biased towards the quiet dynamics, while the Curve: Quiet”, “Curve: Loud” setting will favor the loud velocities. g

Tighten Staccato - This knob adjusts the start point of the staccato samples, letting you tighten their attacks. When set to 0%, the entire natural attack for the staccatos will be played, while at 100% they , will be condensed as much as possible to provide a faster more rhythmically-precise attack. faster, precise Monophonic - This button controls whether notes are...
