Checking Out: Palette – Symphonic Sketchpad by Red Room Audio
It is very bold for a new developer to come on to the scene with 4 new orchestral sample libraries for Kontakt, but that is exactly how Red Room Audio has entered the game. The developer’s flagship libraries cover a very nice range of scoring tools with orchestral sections, legato instruments, orchestral effects, choirs, runs and even a nice set of trailer Brahms and synths.
Palette – Symphonic Sketchpad sells for $299 from Red Room Audio
At the time of posting it was listed at an intro price of $249 at Red Room Audio
Thoughts
I have had the betas of this library (and the other Palette libraries) on my hard drive for a couple weeks checking them out and working with them and even given some feedback to the developer.
This is one of 4 videos we will be posting sharing the what the entire Palette Orchestral libraries for Kontakt has to offer.
The first thing that stands out with the 4 Palette libraries (Symphonic Sketchpad, Melodics, Orchestral FX and RUNS & ARPS) is that all 4 libraries load into one Kontakt Player instrument making them easy to navigate and access.
The second thing that got me excited was that the Palette series of orchestral instruments were all recorded in the same room making them a very affordable solution for getting a complete set of orchestral instruments and tools that had sections including choirs, percussion a trailer tools instrument and, some main legato solo instruments
Purists might discard Palette as it doesn’t offer a complete orchestral lineup, Instrument by instrument, instead, the developer focused on creating a complete toolkit based on ensembles, sections with legato solo instruments for the most common leads of the orchestra as well FX. RUNS, ARPS and even a Choir, the way many composers for media work these days with section and ensemble patches created for expression and playability.
I’ll post links here to the other Red Room Audio playthrough videos as they are released.

This is great for the smaller footprint versus other libs (will run on my laptop) and ensembles are nicely done but sadly the Harp is almost terrible with too much pluck even in the hall mic. Outboard reverb is essential to getting a good sound with all of the library. No problem though!
