Cartoon Maestro

In creating this library, our aim was to capture the essence and diversity of scores from what is often considered the golden age of animation. We meticulously studied and transcribed a multitude of scores, from slapstick to the more refined compositions found in modern works, to understand and recreate the unique sounds and effects achievable with traditional orchestral instruments.

Our journey involved extensive research and numerous recording sessions to sample a wide array of articulations and capture the nuances essential for depicting a variety of cartoon scenes. The library includes content provided by performers interpreting diverse animation scenarios, available as both articulations and separate WAV files, for easy integration into any DAW or video software.

Inside the library, you will find:

20 orchestral solo instruments: Flute, Piccolo, Clarinet, Bassoon, Violin, Trumpet, Trombone, Tuba, Doublebass, Harp, Lapsteel Guitar, Vibraphone, Marimba, Xylophone, Glockenspiel, Timpani, Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Cymbals, Percussion each with a variety of articulations, including versatile runs, deeply sampled staccatos, mutes, and other unconventional sounds.
A series of 28 ensemble patches designed to reproduce iconic moments in cartoon genres, such as chases or scenes featuring impacts and flights.

We have identified over 28 distinctive musical moments, each represented through different combinations of instruments and melodies, offering multiple ways to score various scenarios. The system is completely MIDI- based, allowing realistic and multifaceted interactions between phrases.

Cartoon Maestro is not just a library; it’s a resourceful companion in your creative process, designed to help you translate the whimsical world of cartoons into musical language. We hope it serves as a valuable tool in your endeavors to bring joy and laughter through your musical creations.
