THE ORCHESTRA HIT

The Orchestra Hit (also called Orchestra Stab) is a short sample of a ‘tutti’-chord in a classical orchestra piece. To this day, it is used as a dramatical and percussive component in pop music.

The Orchestra Hit is one of the most used samples and is included in almost every sample library in different variations.
