The last one is a bit of a process to get set up but it does sound good and I suggest that you at least listen to the demo I made before you decide not to give it a go. With this plugin, you get more control compared to just using samples such as mixing directly in the plugin. These two plugins seem to have a lot of the same instrument samples and you can find the free download link for VSCO2 in this article. But, is very similar to one that does, called VSCO2. Unfortunately, this is the one that doesn't work for Mac. Now if you're looking for a robust library of orchestral instruments including percussion, strings, and brass, you might really like Sonatina Orchestra. Even though it's slightly out of their expertise, this one really hit the mark. This one sounds pretty cool and is quite different from their regular approach to making plugins as they almost entirely stick to stringed instruments.

Each instrument allows you to control expression, dynamics, and reverb. From this, you can use an array of different instruments like strings, guitar, piano, and choir that all sound great. So hey, save the article and check back in a couple of months, they might have a new one available. The first one I want to mention is Spitfire LABS, a great resource to get free orchestral instruments and they add a new one every month, at least that's what they say. And all but one will work on both Windows and Mac, but I do mention an alternative for the one that doesn't plus a bonus free sound library at the end.

So, if you're looking for free virtual instruments that can be used for composing orchestral or realistic music, these 5 plugins will help you do just that.
