Tutti Free by Sonokinetic is a 445 MB Kontakt Player library of aleatoric orchestral effects. It captures a full orchestra — 52 strings, 12 woodwinds, 11 brass, plus piano, celesta, and percussion — improvising atonal phrases in situ at the Cinematic Concert Hall in Zlín, Czech Republic. The content is organized into four phrase categories: Hits and Stabs, Textures, Crescendi, and Glissandi. Structured phrases show you a visual notation of exactly which instruments were used, and the aleatoric “random” phrases are improvised without notation.
Mic mixing is a fixed blend of Close, Decca, Wide, and Balcony signals. I’ve used Tutti Free on several hybrid cinematic projects as both an SFX source and a subtle layer of orchestral percussion. It’s not a melodic or harmonic tool, and it won’t help you write a theme. But for tension risers, trailer stabs, horror pads, and any situation where you need authentic orchestral chaos, it’s one of the most useful free libraries I own.
