Sonokinetic Orchestral Strings: The Foundation of Your Sound
At its core, Orchestral Strings is a hugely capable full-divisi, full-size Strings Section. Recorded with the fantastic Capellen Orchestra in Zlin, Czech Republic, and edited with the utmost care to preserve all the details of the performances. This library features a robust ensemble, including:
- 16 Violins I (9+7)
- 12 Violins II (7+5)
- 10 Violas (6+4)
- 10 Celli (6+4)
- 8 Basses (5+3)
Experience a vast array of articulations, covering all the most-used techniques in up to four velocities, utilizing a ‘shared tail’ system for shorts that provides more round robins without significantly increasing memory load. Key articulations include:
- Sustains: Straight, Expressive, Sul Tasto, Ponticello, Harmonics, and LEGATO variations (Sustains Straight LEGATO, Sustains Expressive LEGATO, Sustains Sul Tasto LEGATO, Sustains Ponticello LEGATO).
- Marcatos: Straight, Expressive, Short, Mid, Long.
- Shorts: Spiccato, Staccatissimo, Staccato, Pizzicato.
- Dynamics: Mod Wheel, Crescendo, Decrescendo, Sforzato, Fortepiano.
- Specials: Tremolo, Trem Sul Pont, Minor Trill, Major Trill, Bartok Pizz, Col Legno.
The library is recorded in 44.1kHZ – 24BIT NCW format, encompassing 300k+ samples and requiring 97GB of compressed data. It offers 4 recorded microphone positions—Close, Decca tree, Wide, and Balcony (Far)—along with a pre-mixed Tutti version. The advanced MAIN LEGATO STATE determines whether legato is off, polyphonic (default), or monophonic, intuitively locating the closest note for smooth transitions in polyphonic mode. Easily trigger runs by completing a set of two notes in a legato fashion or by holding the sustain pedal, and play chords in the yellow area on the Kontakt keyboard, similar to phrase-based instruments.
Sonokinetic Sordino Strings: Warmth and Intimacy
Perfectly complementing the Sonokinetic Orchestral Strings, Sordino Strings adds a unique, warmer, and smoother sound by capturing an orchestral string section with a Sordino, or Mute, on the strings. This library was recorded as part of the Orchestral Strings family, in the same hall, with full divisi and the same attention to detail. It features the identical section sizes:
- 16 Violins I (9+7)
- 12 Violins II (7+5)
- 10 Violas (6+4)
- 10 Celli (6+4)
- 8 Basses (5+3)
Sordino Strings provides essential muted articulations, including:
- Sordino Sustains: Straight, Expressive, and LEGATO variations (Sustains Straight LEGATO, Sustains Expressive LEGATO).
- Sordino Shorts: Spiccato.
- Sordino Dynamics: Mod Wheel, Crescendo, Decrescendo, Sforzato, Fortepiano.
This library also comes in 44.1kHZ – 24BIT NCW format, with 125k+ samples compressed to 24GB. It includes the same 4 recorded microphone positions (Close, Decca tree, Wide, Balcony) and a pre-mixed Tutti version. Like its counterpart, it supports the advanced MAIN LEGATO STATE for versatile performance options (polyphonic default or monophonic), enabling runs between two notes and chord playing in the yellow area of the Kontakt keyboard.
By bundling these two exceptional libraries, you gain the ability to craft everything from epic, powerful string arrangements to delicate, intimate passages. The seamless integration and consistent recording environment mean you can blend standard and muted sounds effortlessly, creating nuanced and emotionally resonant scores. This bundle offers the flexibility, realism, and comprehensive articulation sets needed by professional composers and producers seeking the highest quality virtual orchestral strings.
The Orchestral Strings & Sordino Strings Bundle requires a free or full version of Kontakt 6.6 or later.
