In today’s stressed and overwhelming environment, more and more of us find ourselves in dire need of tranquility, clarity, and a general state of “flow”.
This not so recent observation of ours led us to create something that aims at helping more people in their pursuits. Sambhala Textural Orchestra draws from all 5 elements of life – earth, fire, water, air, and ether – thus getting you as close to the ancients’ wisdom as possible.

Now, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let us take you on a journey of discovery and inspiration!

Strezov Sampling SAMBHALA Textural Orchestra KONTAKT screenshotIn Sambhala Textural Orchestra there are a number of “textural” patches, which contain pre-recorded phrases/improvisations, tonal or timbral movements on the named instruments, giving you the option to ascend to the spiritual kingdom, just by clicking one single key. All of these can be easily combined with all the other instruments, making fast and easy use of all the content in the library. These are signified by the word “Textural” in the name of each patch of this kind.

One interesting new feature in “Sambhala Textural Orchestra” is the new “Elements” section. We’ve added a couple of ambient sound effects which you can blend within any sound from the library, giving you the opportunity to truly create amazing and unique sounds. The sounds or “elements” at your disposal are “Ether”, “Air”, “Fire”, “Water” and “Earth”. You can switch any of those on or off by clicking the symbol on the left of each element; you can adjust the volume of each, solo or mute them, respectively. You are also able to reverse the ambience effect by clicking the circular “reverse” button, right next to the “mute” button.
