About Berlin Free Orchestra:

A complete sampled orchestra in pro-grade quality for free. Whether you’re starting out in film music, an experienced producer looking for orchestral sounds, or just orchestral-curious, Berlin Free Orchestra is the pro option that checks all your boxes.

You get strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. You get expressive solo instruments for main motifs and melodies, and you get ensembles for the broader brushstrokes and for sketching. You get auxiliary instruments like bass clarinet and contrabassoon, and you get some great pitched percussion, including tubular bells and vibraphone. And all the instruments here are the same as in our flagship collections—flagship quality for free.

Berlin Free Orchestra runs in our free player software, SINEplayer. Download SINE for free, and you’ll find Berlin Free Orchestra waiting for you.
