Both of these get brighter at higher velocities. The former starts fairly warm but quickly changes to much brighter tones with a nice ring to them when pushed harder. The Rhodes is also warm at low velocities and, while it does brighten up a little when played harder, the sound never gets too top-heavy. Most of these are perfectly useable, although I'd rather layer my own versions of the latter within Kompakt as the decay settings on the strings seemed very abrupt in the various presets supplied.
Some 12 B3 patches are provided aimed at blues, jazz, rock and soul and each has a slightly different tone. For all these instruments, the Mod Wheel controls the speed of the Leslie Speaker and this effect works very well. The various Farfisa organ patches are nicely done — although the sounds of this instrument are probably only going to have some niche applications — and a small number of splits are included where one sound is available to the left hand and another to the right.
The Vox Combo and Continental instruments are equally well reproduced. The Keyboard and Mallet group contains the expected assemblage of accordian, celeste, church organ, harpsichord, marimba and vibraphone instruments, amongst a few others. For me, the highlights amongst these are the church organ and the harpsichord, both of which have a very satisfying, full sound although see the 'Things That Make You Go Oooh' box for some minor quibbles.
Other goodies include the 'Tango Accordian' which made me think of sea shanties and the very nice vibraphone, where higher velocities produce a lovely bright, ringing tone. One interesting feature of Colossus is what must be the largest ever GM-compatible sound bank. This features instruments that follow the GM program number convention from program 1, 'Acoustic Piano', through to program , the ever-handy 'Gun Shots'. In the main, these are all based on instruments that appear elsewhere within Colossus but, in total, the samples in this group contain 14GB of data — so it is safe to say that these sounds will have somewhat more depth than the GM sound sets built into your average consumer soundcard!
The GM instrument group is sensibly organised according to the GM program number convention. Given the potential users that East West are targeting with Colossus, this GM sound set is a very neat idea. The only minor inconvenience is that there is no simple way to load the instruments within Kompakt based upon standard program-change numbers — this process has to be done manually. This said, in testing with some commercial MIDI files using these sounds, the results were impressive and well worth the effort.
All the necessary instrument types are represented within the Orchestral group. The 'Brass Section' instrument has velocity layering that produces a warm, soft sound at low velocities and then launches into very effective, bright, fanfare territory at high velocities — although it has to be said that there is not much between the two.
Similar velocity layers are present in the three string ensemble instruments. Of the solo strings, the cello, viola and violin all sound convincing and feature velocity layering that changes the character of the sound. These would all suit slow or medium tempo phrases quite well and, when sustained, a nice vibrato is gradually introduced quite strong on the cello.
However, the attack of each instrument is probably not suitable for faster passages, even after adjusting the Volume Envelope settings in Kompakt. The 'Tremelo Strings' instrument [sic] is capable of being suitably spooky, although it is pretty intense.
The only real oddity was the 'Pizzicato Strings' sound — while the strings themselves sound fine, the samples include a large dollop of hall ambience which is almost an echo. This patch would have perhaps been more versatile if presented a little drier. The solo English horn with a slight vibrato that appears on sustained notes , trombone, trumpet, tuba and French horn all capture the mellow tones required at lower velocities, while springing more fully to life at higher velocities.
However, as with the strings, an extra velocity layer between the two might have made the instruments a little easier to play. In the wind instruments, the solo flute has just the right amount of breathiness and I also liked the oboe and clarinet instruments.
The Orchestral group also contains a powerful 'Orchestral Hit' patch and an excellent concert harp — this latter instrument has a beautiful, very soothing quality to it. Other instruments include a timpani patch which usefully provides two keys for each pitch to make playing rolls somewhat easier and a nice tubular bells instrument. Somewhat surprisingly, the Orchestral group does not include a general orchestral percussion instrument for cymbals, snares, timps and gongs.
A total of 11 instruments appear in the Choir group — five male and six female. In the main, these are sustained vowel sounds based on 'ah', 'mm' 'oh' and 'ee' sounds. Usefully, most of the patches feature mod-wheel crossfading between a non-vibrato and a vibrato version.
With a little reverb added, these are all very effective for choral pads. While the overall size of the Colossus library is huge and the quality of many of the Orchestral and Choir Instruments is very good, there are probably not enough basic articulations of the various instruments for anyone attempting to construct a full orchestral arrangement.
For example, there are no staccato performances of the string or brass instruments. In that context, Colossus should not really be seen as a replacement for something like East West's own Symphonic Orchestra Silver Edition or Garritan Personal Orchestra, both of which offer a considerably larger choice of performance styles to the budding orchestral composer on a budget.
In contrast to my comments above about the relatively small number of performance styles included within the Orchestral group, the Pop Brass group has an abundance of these. For example, the trumpets include falls, staccato, short sustains, vibrato and cup mutes amongst a few others.
The same is true of the tenor, alto and baritone saxes — a range of performance options and special effects are provided for each, although my favourite was the 'B Sax PPanther' instrument which was suitably deep and honky. The Trombone options are also plentiful within this group and include some excellent falls, slides and wah performances, with the latter being great for those Tom and Jerry-style cues. There is also a very respectable 'Tuba God' instrument whose beefy staccato sounds would also work well for cartoon comedy cues.
Another neat inclusion is the Salsa Trumpet, with both long and short fall options for when you need to add a little Latin element to a tune. If required, one or two of the staccato instruments from within the Pop Brass group would work quite happily in an orchestral setting. Colossus's many Instruments are organised into 19 basic types in Kompakt.
These are as shown in the selection menu above. The collection of instruments in the Ethic Pitched group includes all the usual suspects; agogo bells, bagpipes, didjeridoo, duduk, fiddle, koto, pan flute and shakuhachi are all present and correct.
