1. What is ProjectSAM “Lineage Percussion Free”?
Lineage Percussion Free is a free edition that lets you try “Lineage Percussion” — the first title in ProjectSAM’s next-generation Lineage Series orchestral percussion line — with a curated selection of instruments and articulations. The full version was recorded 100% from scratch at the concert hall of the Muziekcentrum van de Omroep (MCO) in Hilversum, the Netherlands, the same venue used for the Symphobia series, and features intelligent musical functions and a high-resolution interface.
