Funny thing is, there are relatively few orchestral instruments in this track. Just pizzicatos, sustain strings, horn and timpani. All the rest is just various synth sounds that I picked because they sounded cool. Which goes to show that getting an orchestral sound is more about the arrangement than the instruments used. I have tried setting up "orchestral templates" on my 90s hardware but it just ends up sounding pathetic. Counterintuitively, it's when you bring synthetic sounds into the equation that things start sounding big and symphonic.
