As with many of Project SAM’s offerings, the library takes a unique approach that shuns endless lists of articulations in favour of capturing imaginative orchestral sounds, textures and instrument groupings, complete with a sumptuous concert hall acoustic. In those intervening 12 months, Project SAM has been busy crafting the third product in the Symphobia Series – Lumina, which we have on test here. However, since the release of the ‘best-of’ Orchestral Essentials last year, things seem to have been relatively quiet in the Project SAM camp. Certainly, Project SAM’s core products – like Symphobia 1 and 2, as well as the True Strike percussion series – have become a compulsory addition to many film and TV soundtracks, with their spacious, epic sound becoming instantly recognisable. Refined with grand piano, harp and percussion, these recordings are truly luminous.Along with Vienna Symphonic Library, Project SAM can rightly claim to being one of the pioneering developers of cinematic sampling, long before the veritable gold rush of orchestral and trailer effects libraries that exist in today’s marketplace. Moreover, Lumina is packed with superbly orchestrated textures covering the full spectrum of fantasy and mystery. The warmth and beauty of orchestra and choir performing together has been captured in stunning, playable ensembles. Based on more recordings than ever before, this third volume in the Symphobia series is ProjectSAM’s most ambitious release yet. Now, a new story unfolds… Featuring full orchestra, choir, smaller ensembles and a wide range of guest instruments, Symphobia 3: Lumina dives into the world of fantasy, mystery and animation, adding depth and delicacy to your musical palette.



With Symphobia 1 and Symphobia 2, ProjectSAM explored the heavier side of orchestra to help you thrill directors and audiences around the world. Discover the fully updated 1.6 Editions of the orchestral library series that forever changed the film scoring game: The Symphobia Series.

Featuring full orchestra, choir, smaller ensembles and a wide range of guest instruments, Symphobia 3: Lumina dives into the world of fantasy, mystery and fairy tales.
