Details

The instrument features two violins, a viola, and a cello, offering a range of articulations including pulverized, sul ponticello, and tremolo. Each patch is designed for expressive play, with modwheel control allowing for dynamic crossfading between layers and timbres. The library includes pendulum patches that morph through different articulations, enhancing the fluidity of performance.

Recorded in an 80m² scoring stage, the library provides three mic positions: Close, Decca Tree, and Flank, allowing for flexibility in mixing. The sculpting engine enables sound manipulation, creating lush, organic textures that evolve over time. Additional features include random sample start options, simulated round-robin, and an intuitive user interface that supports easy navigation through its 59+ patches and 1150 samples. This makes it a versatile tool for composers looking to explore intricate string textures in their work.
