Lineage Percussion - Full Official Walkthrough

Masterfully dynamic. Exquisitely detailed.

Maarten Spruijt of ProjectSAM takes you through Lineage Percussion – The last word in orchestral percussion libraries, with over 70 instruments plus kits, stage positioning, and full sampling depth.
ProjectSAM’s history with percussion goes back to 2003 when we released our highly regarded library, True Strike. For Lineage Percussion, we can now pour twenty years of experience into making the finest, most detailed and spirited percussion library, with truly modern technology and techniques.

Lineage Percussion features 100% new recordings and an engine that’s been rebuilt from the ground up. It’s our most ambitious library yet.

This is gorgeous Maarten. These samples are sample gold - timeless in their core. Cheers, T

[AndriesdeHaan]

Sounds fantastic! Glad Kontakt 6.6 is required! Can't update to a higher Kontakt version and I know Im not alone in this! Awesome!

[MrEmanuelRoos]

Gefeliciteerd ProjectSAM, wat een geweldig nieuw product. En wat leuk om je weer te zien, Maarten! Heel veel succes met de introductie en sales!

[MiniMusicMan]

You guys have been vital to my success so I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Maarten the Man the Myth the legend!!! For me, ProjectSam has been capturing the best aspects of orchestral percussion in a very compact and useful form. Thank you, Maarten!
ps. I miss your media/TV/film composing short videos :) ❤

[SanderKalmeijer]

Congrats with this amazing library guys! It sounds incredibly dynamic from what I hear after playing around with it. I also really like the adaptive sync with the downbeat feature!

[BaraMatahariPagi]

This sounds really good! Congrats on the release guys!

[UthoRiley]

Definitely gonna keep an eye on this one.
The colors and behavior you guys got going happen to line up really close with what I tend to seek for regular orchestral percussion specifically, and all the QOL features and conveniences are a great bonus, so consider me interested and keep up the good work.

I didn’t realize how much I needed more cowbell in my life. Sold!

[tristandietschmusic]

Nice presentation. Also nice to see the face of that familiar voice of Maarten. Nice presentation. I am currious If there is another lineage Produkt in mind, like Strings etc.

[MartinHeidenreichMusic]

You guys did it again, Lineage is simply amazing! And thumbs up for the Lava lamp :)

[Swizzenator]

Sexy interface. This company outshines most sample library companies.

[DesoloZantas]

You've dedicated a considerable amount of time to perfecting this UI. It's been years since I've seen a new instrument from you, likely due to your focus on refining the interface system. Would you say that it's now perfected? 😅

[NikolaiMusicChannel]

Have TS1, and it's holding up really well for being 20 years old, bought this just a year ago, and is no my go-to baseline orchestral percussion. Lineage sounds even better soundwise on these demos, and have some features I've been missing in TS1, like more round robins and seemingly smoother tremolo transitions, which would be great! A couple of questions though: it doesn't seem like you've included tremolos on melodic instruments, like your xylophone from the demo, just like TS1, and that's a feature I really miss on your xylophone in TS1. Recently chose another library for a mockup because of that missing feature. Is that really still missing in lineage to? If that's the case, is it coming in a later update? You've done so well and included playable tremolos in so many unpitched instruments, I find it a bit odd that you haven't included it in the melodic mallet instruments. Also, is your vibraphone recorded with vibrato this time? This was missing in TS1, and can't find an overview over the articulations on your web site, only the instruments. Congrats on a great sounding library 🙂

[massimotagliata]

Molto molto interessante! con quale versione di kontakt si carica? Congratulazioni!!!

[Edbrad]

I wonder if some of this UI programming from licensed from heavyocity’s Damage 2, or just inspired by it. The XY staging for example. Some of this looks similar, and I’m very glad of it because Damage 2 has some features that really should have been everywhere by now.

BUENÍSIMO... FELICITACIONES A SUS CREADORES.

[amayamusicyt]

Hello ! One question, the Celesta does not appear in the webpage, but there´s "Snare Drum 2 Ensemble" in the category Pitched Instruments. I suppose that´s the celesta or is it hidden ? Thanks

[AstroComposerKarE]

Are the timpanis in the correct pitch? So middle C sounds middle C because that doesn't look like the sounding pitch is what was played?

[prevolition]

I might just buy True Strike 2.0 instead. You get all mics with virtual stage and it's only 9GB. Sure it's an older library but it seems to be better value than Lineage Core and is soon to be gone forever.
