Tools for orchestral composers

Every tool here started as a problem in one of my sessions.

Free now

Two tools from my own sessions, free to download. Each one has a walkthrough, so you can see it work before you install it.

The 2.0 walkthrough · YouTube

CSS Delay Helper2.5.1

Cinematic Studio legato speaks late. Host Kontakt once and every articulation lands on the grid.

  • Up to eight CSS instruments in one hosted Kontakt
  • Fixed Articulation Mode, no keyswitch in every region
  • Live mode: play a part in without the delay

Free · VST3, AU · Windows, macOS

The walkthrough · YouTube

Smoother1.0

Mod-wheel fades stop at the instrument's quietest level. Smoother carries them all the way to silence.

  • Fades to true silence through CC7 or CC11
  • Hosts the instrument, or sends MIDI to another track
  • Threshold, curve and smoothing you can shape

Free · VST3, AU · Windows, macOS

Tension Bus interface: input and output knobs around a glowing vacuum tube, with body, drive, width and response controls below

Tension Bus

Let the orchestra shape its own intensity. It listens to the bus and adds body, drive and width as the music's tension rises. In development.

When the paid tools are out, each one is a single purchase: no subscription, and no sales later on.

KReative EQ interface with six bands over a live spectrum

KReative EQ

Session-wide orchestral EQ that finds and tames resonances, with every instance on one screen.

Coming soon · VST3, AU · Windows, macOS

PLATEA stage map with the orchestra seated in a concert hall

PLATEA

Seats each instrument where it belongs on stage, inside a concert hall measured with over a thousand impulse responses.

In development · VST3, AU, Standalone · Windows, macOS

Also on the workbench: Articulo, a database of expression maps, and Plugin Maestro, a manager for your VST plugins and their licenses.

Kamil Rzeczkowski in his studio, lit by a single warm lamp

Hi, I'm Kamil.

I'm an orchestral composer and producer. Over ten years and fifty-plus scored projects, the same small problems kept taking time from the music: legato that speaks late, fades that never reach silence, mixes that crowd each other.

KReative Studio is where I fix them, first in my own sessions, then in yours.
