Product Overview

Fluid Shorts III features a larger ensemble of strings recorded in a drier room, enhancing clarity and precision in articulation. With 16 dynamic layers and a unique performance-sourced repetition approach, this library is designed for nuanced, expressive string shorts that can adapt to various scoring contexts.

Details

The library includes ensemble patches that utilize repetition-based sampling, similar to previous Fluid Shorts libraries but with a focus on a more controlled acoustic environment. This setup minimizes pre-note ambience, allowing for cleaner attacks and more defined articulations. The soloist patches, particularly for bass and cello, employ a new sampling technique that captures sympathetic resonance, resulting in a lively sound that deviates from traditional methods.

Articulations encompass a range of shorts, with the ensemble patches recorded to maintain a balance between dynamic expression and clarity. The close, section, decca tree, and outrigger mic positions provide flexibility in mixing, allowing for tailored spatial placement in your compositions. The library also includes lite full strings patches, which combine samples from individual sections for sketching purposes, though they lack the nuance of dedicated patches.

Overall, Fluid Shorts III is well-suited for projects requiring detailed string performances, from intimate scoring to larger orchestral arrangements. The dynamic layering and innovative sampling techniques offer a fresh approach to string shorts, making it a valuable addition to any composer’s toolkit.
