The samples were originally recorded at 24-bit, 96khz into the Radar hard disk recording system by Franz Pusch of VR sound. Franz uses a proprietary binaural recording method, whereby two audiophile microphones are attached to a dummy human head. This recording method results in a much more realistic stereo image because the sound is captured as a human being would hear it. A "you are there" quality to the sound is perceived.

In the case of recorded brass sections, the stereo image of the sections is preserved as well. For example, Trumpet sections, trombone sections, french horn sections all maintain their proper panning.

The 64 voices for this soundbank were programmed by Dave Polich, who has been a longtime sound programmer for Yamaha, Alesis, EMU and other manufacturers.
